@@macpie144 they do have drones, btw, they use them to hit troops better, especially in the trenches

Trenches seem to be a fall back technology when the state of modern warfare makes a big change. Imma bet that a Third World War will be fought in trenches or something similar.

@@numbers4851 Doubt it. Will probably be fought under ground.

Unfortunately not for as long as Putin is in power. He just can't allow free and prosperous Ukraine.

Weird how vice or the west in general never shows the war from the Russian side. Why don't they interview the Ukrainian soldiers that raped and beat a Russian girl and didn't even get a slap on the wrist?

@dcoog anml it's sad :(

From what I know from speaking with these guys, it's extremely frustrating for soldiers to sit and wait. They are eager for action, knowing how much they can do, but they are ordered to stand ground and sometimes are even ordered not to engage back (big "thanks" to the president's "ceasefire"). They also know that if not for russia, the russian proxys would be destroyed in 3 weeks, and it makes them even angrier

@@TheRollingCabbage don’t think they’re eager for action with the Russian military, they just want it all to stop.

@@sk8ermGs They are, I've checked their online posts about current situation. They want to engage, free their land and make everything as it was. Sadly, that's very difficult and eagerness won't cut it alone.

I was genuinely looking for a comment like this. That guy at the end is my new hero. Definition of die-hard

Yeah, you can see her husband is really struggling she's trying to be positive and optimistic but I'm sure deep down she knows her home is gone forever. Absolutely tragic.

Not the other side tho

​@@Mrsamaj14 actually that's how borders have always been drawn, but by the stronger countries, the only difference nowadays is that they kind of have to ask permission from the west (usa especially, core of western powers) and it happens their citizens nowadays don't like expansionism wars since the last 2 world wars. Although China is starting to ignore the west more and more. And I personally know many people who respect Russia and especially Putin over the west and their leaders, despite the many obvious faults of Russia and Putin.

@@cptcacao that's the joke.

I miss that series. I go back and watch it from time to time.

Their Ukraine docs were always so amazing

Yeah that was one of the most interesting docuseries ive ever watched

Before VICE News was bought out and became MSNBC+

Been following the conflict from day 1, nothing changed after all these years. Sad AF. Russian Roulette was VICE at their best.

You. Not we. This conflict has never stopped despite your ignorance. And Putin is still a dictator.

Yes indeed Vice used to be one of the best before they sold out:/

@hakuna matata why do russia have elections then?

@hakuna matata toppled a democratic government? what? because russia is democratic? thats fuckin hilarious

The Ukraininans have pulled large amounts of troops to the front in March. These troops have been living in field conditions for 3 months now and morale is very low as you can imagine. Zelensky is refusing to let them go home without having achieved anything because that would make him lose face completely.

@James Smith there are no such things in the nature like "Novorossiysk lands". Since Novorossiya does not exist ( except in putinist`s imagination) What realy exist is the fact that Ukrainian lands were invaded by russian troops with supporrt of some part of local collaborationists. But all this became possible only because of evil will of russian goverment.

@Good Cat Kto tutaj zaczyna wojny? To nie Ukraincy wtargneli na terytorium Rosji, tylko Rosja na terytorium Ukrainy. 100 lat temu to Rosja zaczela wojne z Polska, ktora zreszta przegrala. 70 lat temu to Rosja zbrojnie wkroczyla na terytorium Polski w ramach paktu Ribbentrop-Molotov. Takze sie pytam, kto tutaj zaczyna wojny?

@Good Cat Tak jak i my ich masakrowalismy w przeszlosci. Ale to nic w porownaniu ze zbrodniami ktore popelnil wobec obu naszych narodow Zwiazek Radziecki. Milliony Polakow i Ukraincow zostalo zgladzonych przez ZSRR, i do dzis Rosja dumnie kontunuuje te tradycje opresji wobec swoich sasiadow i zaklamuje historie zeby sie wybielic. W koncu trzeba zagoic stare rany zeby moc sie zjednoczyc przeciwko wspolnemu, prawdziwemu wrogowi obu naszych narodow.

@Good Cat Nie mam co do tego watpliwosci. Wielka brytania to jest szkodnik z imperialistycznymi zapedami. Ale granice mamy z Rosja, nie z UK. Wrog za plotem jest grozniejszy niz ten za morzem.

chcesz zrobić więcej? jedź tam i walcz. To że oni są u nas to korzyść dla obu stron. Co Ty pierdolisz o "odpłacaniu".

@@migaczone Kto tu mowi o walczeniu? Przemoc nie jest rozwiazaniem. Trzeba po prostu uniezaleznic sie od ruskiego gazu, skrzyknac sie z krajami zachodnimi i dopierdolic Putinowi takie sankcje zeby popamietal raz na zawsze. Obrona Ukrainy jest tez w naszym interesie. Putinowi zawsze zalezalo zeby odbudowac sowiecka strefe wplywow, wiec po Ukrainie i krajach Baltyckich wezmie sie za Polske, byla Czechoslowacje i Wegry. Odplacamy im wiec za stanowienie pierwszej linii frontu przeciwko ruskim neo-sowietom z Putinem na czele.

He looked tired from it. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Many government is so bad and corrupt. They don't do anything to help the people anymore, just themselves. If you think the US and Canadian government's aren't corrupt today.... You're not looking hard enough.

@@MC-tl7mj you make it sound like there is an easy solution its how the world works you cant just fix the war in a month its really nasty and ukraine for sure isnt the only goverment that can end it.

@@MC-tl7mj Canada and the US are some of the least corrupt countries in the world. It's not that they don't have corruption problems, it's that most of the world is simply more corrupt. In countries like Russia and Ukraine, corruption is something else entirely. Also I think it plays a huge role in the conflicts. Heavy corruption shifts the leadership from elected officials to various entities that might be companies, foreign countries, wealthy people or people powerful through crime. And those people will do everything to keep their positions of power no matter what. Joining the EU has huge anti-corruption requirements (there are many other requirements though) and those people do not want to get rid of corruption. This is part of why Ukraine has been struggling to meet some of the EU standards that just require willpower from the officials. The same way, it's why Russia consistently avoids good relations with western countries. If you want an equivalent, lobbying and bribes are why US politics consistently fail at providing realistic solutions to their healthcare issues and why so much of the system favours the rich.

@@ivanlagrossemoule Yes I agree that US and Canada is much MUCH less corrupt than Russia where they kill people trying to go against them. Biden said he would take Ukraine into NATO if they get rid of some of their corruption. Hopefully once they are less corrupt they can join soon.

@@malaklranal1681 How is he going to do that? He's part of the corruption.

Then don't forget W.W.2 Russia also lost hundreds of thousands against Hitler's military. Where was Ukraine?? With Poland.

@@MrReiniC yes true story. Thanks for the correction. I really feel for people who have to suffer for the very few who don't know how to be neighborly and find solutions peacefully. God bless you.

No u don't u piece of paper

@dcoog anml that is less than 3 years, but thank you for trying to help fix things. I need to get off my ass somehow, first step is to finish ridding my body of opiates and then I should get even more physically fit from the exercises I do and then when I get my High school diploma I should be able to enlist in the US Army with a RASP contract when I am 3 months clean. Suboxone doesnt really count because it is still an opiate but it just doesnt get you high. If I can do that suck, I can handle any other suck life throws my way with ease.

It is his war too. Russia claimed half of Ukraine, got two cities, million fled. The city where Shevchenko couple were filmed, Mariupol, was occupied for a month, celebrates Liberation Day.

@dcoog anml thanks!

Crimea voted to become Russian . Ukraine diverted the water away from Crimea putting it in a water shortage. Ukraine defaulted on natural gas payments to Russia. Russia shut off the natural gas. WHY don’t these two work a deal ? Are you going to send your sons to die over a tit for tat dispute! Look it up ( Crimea water shortage) .

@@dmo7815 yes because russian votes tottaly arent manipulated, look at the alexei navalnyj situation, a real opposition leader in russia and he was detained

​@@trenkypochcavac They don't need to manipulate the vote, Crimea are Russian and are super happy with their new situation you genius. That was mush cleaner than the last US elections. Navalny is a creature of the West, noone knows him in Russia, he never got more than 5% of votes.

@@thomasconstant9354 of course, no manipulation, definitely not rigged 99% percent vote

@@Sauer_Kraut Good publicity is a thing you know?

@justinas gylys They’re defending their country, Russia is the corrupt ones here.. so do not believe the Russia propaganda. If there was no war there wouldn’t be proof of it. They annexed Crimea illegally

@justinas gylys Why do you think Ukraine is defending themselves? Because Russia is continuously putting pressure on Ukraine with the threat of invading. That's why.

@@Slavic_Socialist seems like you live far, from the area in question

@@antonbutuzov3435 How is that relevant? I was born in Kiev and I’ve followed the situation there for years. It’s amazing there’s enough propaganda to even question what I’m saying but that’s what you’d expect from Russia

And that's why it didn't get better. Most politicians washed their hands off....pretend like nothing is there.

Tends to happen when there is a new conflict popping up everywhere

You wont see it on west media but in other parts of the world this conflict is well informed daily

Western Media is too focused on identity politics and inconsequential issues to care much.

There's nothing really to cover. Nothing's happening for the most part. There are some tensions now and then, but ultimately it's pretty peaceful. The only thing that still reminds us of the long gone war is that it's quite hard on the lpr/dpr side because children there see no future, as they have no internationally recognized passports, school and/or university diplomas, etc.

Because Putinist trolls would end up trolling it

The guy is at the edge. I hope he will be able to cope with situation.

@@volkhen0 his age makes that unlikely. he can't start over.

War makes for strange bedfellows

US gives them a lot of support that’s probably why

I was looking for the comments that pointed this out.

No it's not that strange, Ukrainian militants usually hold conservative/right-wing western symbols and a lot of times they hold racist neo-nazi symbols, one of these symbols is the dixie flag and it's not used for the "southern pride" they usually have it because it's usage amongst American neo-nazis. Funny thing is, Nazis considered Slavs to be lowest of the low, and here are these bunch of idiots holding these signs up.

Azov HQ ran out of swastika patches so that was the next best thing he could find.

This is USA create another war, bullying other countries and trying to destabilise governments and poor countries.

@@kakaroth80 who start? Who occupied Crimea? Not Russia? BUK M1 which shoot down Boing MH17 was Russian, from Kursk. Lie somebody else.

He didn’t lie though. Ukraine is close to Russia and US has its eye on it, if US takes Ukraine as their new puppet then they can station their equipment and troops near Russia which is an obvious No for Russia.

@@user-sl3fv8tn9u Many years that i come to Ukraine and Russia. Many years that I have great friends and have learn the beauty and deep culture. That’s why I love ukraine and Russia. At the same time, like books of history show, most Ukrainians know and feel their Russian roots and don’t understand all this caos. Just the new generation, they want to believe the new incompetent president. To finish: don’t forget how USA lie to Russia after WW2 claiming they will never put NATO army close to RUSSIA… well… once again the gringos, lied and under the Ukrainian flag this is what they are doing. And who is paying for all this? Ukraine and Ukrainians

@@kakaroth80 USA newer said that. Russia occupied Crimea and Donbas in time when Ukrainians don't want to be in NATO, but after Russian aggression Ukraine don't have other option.

"Do you share your wife's optimism..." Come on, really? He could've seen the look on the man's face and not asked that. Maybe it's better to see the real sadness, but it seemed cruel to me.

@@SkateSka Maybe he thought the man had something to say just as the soldiers did, but what they lost was more personal. A son, everything, it's hard to imagine how to approach the situation but I'm sure they didn't stay long after that.

you don't know what you're talking about

If total war kicked off and the Russians threw their total might at those lines... I think you couldn't argue anything else, but something akin to a hybrid invasion is more likely (from what I can gather... this is my opinion based on knowledge gained from various media) and what these lines are designed for... supplemented by heavy artillery in the rear and hopefully more plentiful tank destroying capacity (javelins being a new vector of defense) in the trenches... specifically in early battles, heavy armor was so effective and difficult to neutralize... they kept getting their heavy armor targeted leaving infantry incapable of fighting opposition armor

They always been legit

@@davidmendez5933 Nah its been some political crap mostly last years

That's not that dangerous actually. Most of the time there is no sniper, other side is tired and lazy too. The biggest danger is when russian spec ops are coming for target practice. They are fresh and have best equipment money can buy. But most of the times intelligence warns about it.

@@valdemariv394 Thanks for letting me know.

Some russian olygarhs were paying money for "safari" on Donbass. They were freely allowed to shoot Ukrainian defenders on the other part of the front. This is madness... Also was a situation in which famous russian actor came on occupied territories to make the same stuff. Find in youtube (михаил пореченков стреляет по украинцам) they're not even trying to remove these evidence of their teror against Ukrainian people from the internet, they're proud of it.

It is a living conflict

Yes this is fun.

You should of shown the students the videos at school teach them how bad war and politics are how evil and currupt all the governments are either way you're programmed bye the government to brainwash are children into thinking this kind of stuff is good your a scumbag

ya man used to watch that series while i was in college, hear i am almost turning 30 ... when he said 7 years ago my brain went ... fuuuuuuuu

Yes and will go on until put in is removed from office

There is a civil war going on there. Authorities, Ukraine signed the Minsk agreements in 2014, but does not want to fulfill them. They constantly shoot at the cities of Donbass. When a civil coup took place in 2014, part of the population did not want to recognize this power. This power is alien to them, because they support Nazism. Literally today, President Zelensky awarded the Nazi soldier the title of Hero of Ukraine.

@@alexandrvint7098 the nazi soldier? He rewarded all Nazi soldiers? Cmon man. There are shots in Donbas because it’s Russian Troops that are there. Yeah, there are stupid little Donbass Militias’, which are essentially pro-Russian criminal gangs, and then there are Russian Soldiers dressed up in Donbass gear.

@@alexandrvint7098 correct, its the west that want ivade ukraine. not russia. ITs the EU and USA that FORBID to sell food to russia....... very dangerous he, selling food........ farmers from ukraine get no money from there products.........

@@mikequinlivan8842 Look what is happening inside Ukraine. USA farmers buying up al the land, there is no farmland left for the ukraine people. They come in with there 0% intrest loanes from USA.... NOBODY can fight against that. Everything price is 3-5 times higher now. People can not buy things and food anymore. they bring there own material tracktors and machinery. so no job for ukraine people. AND the EU and USA FORBID to sell products to russia, many people in ukraine have family there..........

Ukraian more correct to call Ukyland. Ukyland is under control of usa and UK.

You can't deny that the recent elections were transparent and free. You can't deny that the separatists are supported by Russia.

@@yurqua who does not jump is a maskal!

The Ukrainian Revolution of 2014 was a popular one. That's all you need to know for that.

@@yurqua Well, you can't deny then that 2014 was a coup not a revolution.

I’m so sorry. My heart breaks for everyone affected by the war.

So you must understand the issues much better than us. Whose propaganda is closest to the truth? Honestly?

@@attaining-stoicism3271 Ironically I'd say Russia' propaganda is closer to the truth, but for the wrong reasons. Their justification that "Ethnic Russians have been killed off in Eastern Ukraine" could have potentially been a reasonable basis for occupying Eastern Ukraine, since 26,000 people have died since 2014, but as soon as they went towards Kiev they lost their reasoning. I don't like how everyone is painting them as Nazis, but the Nazis tried to genocide populations while the Russians have targeted Ukraine's government. Ukraine's propaganda has a lot of embellishments and fake reporting, but for morale. That said, I've tried to get my Grandma out of Ukraine and its the Ukrainians that are forcing her to stay in town without permission to leave. The more people that die as a result, the more Ukraine gets to blame Russia.

@@alexandermalin6027 well thought out answer thank you. See I struggle with the idea that some regions like sun bass seam to want to be Russian and I say if the populous wants to let them. Saying that the invasion of Russia is disgusting point blank. It’s wrong when we do it. It’s wrong now

@@attaining-stoicism3271 Donbas voted for zelenskyy with over 80% and to leave ussr by 80% plus. They got rid of russian puppet before the war. Now they are literally fighting a war against russia... Its clear what the people want.... Not russia.

What happened to him? Is he still alive?

is he?

He was kidnapped while filming the Russian Roulette back in 2014, but was released 3 days later. I don’t know why 100% Beef is acting like he’s currently held in captivity. www.vice.com/en/article/a38ywa/simon-ostrovsky-has-been-released

@@matthewcollins130 lol I'm not. I just don't typically feel rushed to reply to RU-vid comments. I'm not acting like he is at all. It's been less than a full 24 hours since I commented, don't put words in my mouth. Last I checked Simon worked for PBS now.

@Don Johnson No, he's saying that Simons heart was in that specific series until something (kidnapping) changed that. Implying and assuming is two different things. Implying would be him saying, "I wish he was still around." Now, assuming is you thinking that he is supposedly implying Simon is not around based off your own flawed understanding of the context of his sentence. He can say he misses Simon in the series. Does that mean hes dead? Kidnapped? No it means hes just simply not in the series anymore until it is clearly stated that Simon is not free or is dead.

It's a shame the US installed the Nazi regime in 2014, this is the result, having been looted by Hunter Biden + other relatives of the Dems , this week the country is going to be declared bankrupt. With all these new weapons to buy.

As a Canadian really rooting for Ukraine, I wrote my university thesis about how Ukraine will be the most important nation in the coming decade. If Ukraine can become a part of NATO and more integrated with the west, lower its corruption and become a beacon of democracy it will be able to spark another wave of democratizations in a growing authoritarian world
