Earlier this month, a number of pro-Russia checkpoints around the Donetsk region were taken by Ukrainian forces, in an attempt to encircle the city of Sloviansk, a stronghold for the pro-Russia insurgents. Here, VICE News reporter Simon Ostrovsky embeds at one of the checkpoints with the Ukrainian National Guard, a volunteer militia made up of people who were protesting at the Kiev Maidan just a few short, but eventful, months ago. Simon spent the night in the dark basement of a police station with some of the men, as heavy fire and fighting rumbled above them.
Ukraine's presidential elections are scheduled for Sunday, but with this volatile situation in the east of the country, it's starting to look a lot more like a war.

@HaplessHypnagogic 3 года назад
They know they will be viewed favourably. Likewise, the Russians in Eastern Ukraine knew they would overwhelmingly be viewed unfavourably in the western press. There were plenty of independent journalists, including a number from America and Western Europe, who covered the conflict in the so called DPR throughout the course of the war who were never threatened, detained, spied on or mistreated by pro-Russian militias. I'm not defending the mistreatment of journalists, but the idea that Ukraine is some sort of innocent lamb in this regard is asinine. In the early days of the conflict having any sympathies toward Russia whatsoever, and in some cases simply speaking Russian was frequently an offence punishable by torture and/or death. Send a pro-Russian journalist from Moscow to try and cover the Azov battalion and see how politely they're treated.

They are Russians who are Ukraine citizens and they don't want to live in country wich is celebrating Stephan Bandera, heaving Nazis ( Svoboda party ) in Ukraine parliament , where the Azov battalion ( pure Nazis ) became a part of Ukraine army ( They are since 2017 part of the national guard ) and in country wich punishing them for that what they are...He knows all these facts and deliberately presents the people from DNR like children eating primitive monsters ...

yea.. if the USA joins then china will join, and that's what you call WW3 I hope that does not happen. I do not love it lol, I think this is sick. its sad that us people cant end a problem without war. it will get worse before it gets better I think which is unfortunate. if you love it so much buy a ticket to Ukraine and help them liberate themselves why don't you?

Aaron Davis no worries my friend china is'nt able to join you see if china did join they would be doing the same as russia in china doesnt want ww3 so they would stay out of it but if usa where to invade russia just to take over that is a new story then china would join yes china still can join russia but it's highly unlikely if anything china would just supply russia nt actuelly join the fight it would still but ww3 because ukraine in usa would work togather in russia would be alone no country is going to give up there peace to help russia like that

14 soldiers died just yesterday and how many more have been injured in Eastern Ukraine since the beginning of the Crimea annexation... this part of the conflict is just starting and the numbers are much greater. I'm not taking sides, this situation is incredibly grey with atrocities and crimes by both sides, but the Kiev protests seem to have been quite peaceful compared to what looks like a brewing civil war.

It's funny a lot of the separatists in Eastern Ukraine are ex-Soviet Stalin-loving people. They actually want to return to the old days of the Soviet Union. From a historical example, it's interesting to see how the days of the USSR are not as dead as the West may have thought. Perhaps the Soviet Bear is awakening once again after a long slumber. And as for the 180,000 people who have watched this video, you are in that panoptic minority who want to seek the raw truth in an unbiased form, away from nationalism, loaded language, and any other cultural biases. Good job everyone. You are the educated elite of internet users.

The soviet glorification is only alive in that part of Ukraine and a few parts of Russia, most have moved on and aren't looking back. Remember, that's the poorest or one of the poorest parts of Europe, they are still in the 1940s or earlier.

In eastern Germany also many older people want the socialism back, as there is more worklessness, now, and they say, life in socialism was simpler. But they will die out one day. The young don't know any other than the federation, don't want any other, enjoy free travel in the eu, even while doing less, than the ones from the "old states" (west Germany, when east Germany was a socialistic Republic, and with the Soviets), as they are more poor, than the westerners. So here will not be any revolution. The closest thing to such was probably happening in the always capitalistic, and richest state of the German federation, Bavaria. The one of sixteen states, everyone thinks, all Germany is like, while it makes sense, that Americans, or Australians I meet are surprised, I have to tell them the only mountain around my hometown, Berlin, the capital, is made by rubbish, cause it's located in the north German flatlands, and also, that Germany got a connection to the Atlantic (we call it northern sea), and to the Baltic sea (we call it eastern sea), as Bavaria is located between the German high lands, and the alps. - Different architecture, different culture, different mentality, and speaking a dialect no-one here understands. (But as everyone learns high German in school, we can gladly still communicate, cause when talking to us, they change to a high German with Bavarian accent. But seriously. When I watch two Bavarians talk to each other, I don't understand a damn word. 😂). Anyways. They believe they can run their land by themselves, and just pay the rest of Germany, while being the richest state. People wanted to keep it all for themselves, and split off. They started a movement, and even voted. Just 15% voted for splitting off the federation, so topic closed. It stays in. The east Germans just talk about the good old days in socialism. But they don't really try to split off. Also here in north Germany we got west Slavs. A Slavic language is even an official second language of one of our states. But just old people keep talking it. All young speak German. The language dies out. The history never. But they see themselves as Germans, and not, for example, as Poland's, or so. And the Danes in north Germany can just walk over the border, as both countries are eu. So they also won't revolt. I guess any part of Germany would just split off for real, if the Russians would come over, and anex it. But I doubt they would do such. We got good ties to them, and a private pipeline for gas, and oil. We even got own oil fields, but just two oil stations working, as the oil fields are located in natural resavatoirs, or how its called. So we rather protect the nature, and take the oil from our buddy russia. I guess as long we pay them good, they send good. But if they cut it, we at least got own oilfields left, in reserve, we just have to risk a bit of nature for. Maybe if a new chancellor wanted more independence, opened those oil fields, and told Russia we won't buy any more, they would claim, and anex the state in which those oilfields are located, and we had a split of. Joke. Don't believe such would happen. :D

Николай Кулемзин they do have some support, but it quickly dissolves due to the fact that instead of the heaven promised by Russia people got terrorists who do what terrorists do- rob, kill, use civilians as live shields, and position their artillery and snipers in highly populated regions and buildings to avoid response from the government troops.

На 7-ой минуте американский журналист спрашивает правосека, зачем ты вышел на майдан? Вы не поверите что тот ответил - защищать людей. Это , что отморожены мозги или верх цинизма? Человек это говорит после всего, что случилось на майдане в Одессе, в Мариуполе, Славянске - он видите ли защищает людей.
@Belgorf
@Belgorf 10 лет назад
В меня сложилось ощущение, что он сам не знает зачем на майдан пошел. Защищать людей - это первое что взбрело в его не очень умную голову. А теперь ему наше СМИ рассказало что на юго-востоке террористы. И он, даже не пробуя думать, тоже пошел защищать людей, не осознавая того факта что сам же является оккупантом и агрессором. Короче, с такими людьми наша страна всегда будет в гамне.
