Inside Ukraine’s war frontlines against Russia in Donbas | BBC Newsnight

- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2024
- Much of the war in Ukraine is far away from the public gaze and cameras, especially the frontlines in the eastern Donbas region.
The BBC has been following Ukraine’s 28th Mechanised Brigade in the area as it clears mines and builds roads to the frontlines.
Documentary-maker Jamie Roberts strapped helmets with cameras to the unit, and he has given Newsnight’s Joe Inwood exclusive footage of the unit.

I thought my headphones were busted when I watched this
i know i shouldn't complain about free, but like? how does the BBC not know how to mix audio? this would be unacceptable on local tv public access but here it is on a video on a highly watched topic from a massive news company
@@MyNameIsMerc Yeah, someone had to listen to the video before they sent it off lol
Please understand, the BBC is just a small channel with minimal resources.
Oh lol, thanks for your comment. I wear my headphones with one side on and one off (so if family members start talking to me, I can actually hear them), and typically the side that was "on" wasn't the side the audio was coming out of, so was thinking the video was completely screwed up.
its freaking me out.. ngl.. 😂
Eugene is in a Peter Santanello video from 4 years ago showing Peter around Mariupol in the summer. It's absolutely devastating to see how such an intelligent and talented young man is forced to fight in Trenches for the survival of his country.

Completely unwatchable with headphones, you would think the BBC could mix audio correctly after nearly 93 years in the industry.
They can’t even report news honestly. Always a left slant so the left can use this war to launder USA money. Smh…
well , i did watched with headphones and all was fine for me . Maybe you need better ones .
The last guy said ‘I believe if God exists He doesn’t care about us. He wouldn’t let all this happen ‘ 😢
Bc humanity follows his manipulation. 👹
God gave them the opportunity to stop the war and Boris Johnson told them to reject it. Poor boys, the face death all the time because of that..
God is patiently waiting for humans to evolve to the point that he can at least enjoy their company and perhaps play a game of chess with them. Meanwhile, we are still aggressive worms crawling around in self-created sewage, battling with each other as each claims some false moral superiority over the other.
Just imagine the capability of humans if they stopped fighting.
God didn't start this war, humans did, stop blaming God for human mistakes
God is not on earth Devil is
It gives WW1 vibes
This is World War III, and it encompasses elements of hot and cold war, economic war, technological war with drones and AI, cyberwar, information war, and the war for global influence. It's hard to list all of its aspects. Although World War I was also terrible, with the use of chemical weapons. World War III will be a long war, and there is a danger that one of the dictatorial or democratic countries will unleash a terrible virus on its enemies. The threat of nuclear bombs hangs over humanity like the Sword of Damocles. AI and robots are already being used in warfare, and in a couple of years, we will have Skynet, with AI controlling robots. Both democratic and dictatorial countries will have AI and robots.
It is frightening that China has sent spies to democratic countries, where they have learned all the knowledge and technologies. They will all return to China and build there what will eventually fight against democratic countries. China has already overtaken the US in terms of personnel involved in AI, and most of the Chinese in this personnel have gained their knowledge in the US or other democratic countries.
Humanity should strive for security as one of its basic values, but instead, humanity, like packs of monkeys, fights for territory, power, and resources. Humanity is constantly increasing the danger exponentially and ensuring its own security by increasing the danger - inventing new and ever more sophisticated methods of warfare.
The world is divided in half in its ideological ideals - the systems of democracy and dictatorship. And these systems want to take over the world under their influence. And a new species appears on Earth, and it can win in this struggle - it is AI, which will be подчиняться robotics and automation. Humans will become just animals in the AI zoo. Or people will be implanted with chips and will be able to make superintelligence available to themselves in the cloud and connect it to their brain neurons - the neurons of the neural network.
However, then AI may be able to hack these chips with the help of a quantum computer and control people like machines. Or it will create a warm bath for people, which will automatically produce food and all the amenities for a person, and make the virtual reality world so much cooler than reality that people will immerse themselves in the hedonism of virtual realities.

It was your government that sponsored the coup in 2014. And then blood began to flow in Ukraine. Then in 2022 USA and UK forced the Ukrainians to break the peace agreements and after that more than half a million Ukrainians have already died. You need to know the history of the conflict. Remember Victoria Nuland, how she boasted that the United States spent only $5 billion to seize power in Kyiv in 2014. Even according to US law, this witch Nuland must remain in prison for the rest of her life.
Why should our governments be Ashamed? we have given all we can due to Ukraines' inherent corruption and piss poor planning, i.e., a wasteful counteroffesive comes to mind. Why did Ukraine not build adequate defensive lines? Anyway, it's not our fight when we get involved in any conflict it goes to shit.
For what...perpetuating another conflict, at the cost of another nation....oh yeah....be proud alright !!!
Would be great to see a documentary on how Boris torpedoed the Istanbul peace deal
The problem here is not Boris. Boris defended the interests of England. The problem here is the stupidity of the Ukrainian authorities, who believed the West. And now we see how Ukraine ceases to exist as a state.
Istanbul peace deal was unacceptable, stop worshipping Kremlin like they did everything they could to stop the war smh
Surrender is not a "peace deal". Please keep stupid comments to yourself. Fascist supporter, you're disgusting.
When the reporter mentions casualty and body in the same sentence, they are the same thing, the word casualty here in Ukraine covers the wounded and the dead

Pretty decent kick drum at 4:04, bit of a 90's gabber vibe
So when was this filmed again? Certainly not a recent footage as this part is well under Ruzzians now...
Former US grand strategist Zbignew Brzezinski said: “It is IMPERATIVE that no Eurasian challenger emerges capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America”. Because the US has just 4% of the world’s population, and it’s isolated from the Eurasia continent which has 70% of the world’s population, or 87% with Africa included. Defensively, it’s an advantage to the US, but economically, it’s a handicap. That’s why economically, Eurasia is a competitor to the US and the Euro is a threat to the dollar.
How does the US with an isolated and just 4% of world’s population maintain its position as the world’s biggest economy? The dollar must stay as the world’s reserve currency. This allows the size of the US economy to be highly scaled up, instead of being sized according to the fundamentals.
To be the world’s reserve currency, the dollar must be circulated in the world. The US created a huge consumption-based economy and shifted manufacturing outside, so that dollars flow out of the US to product suppliers like China or Japan. To make products, China and Japan need energy. The US created the Petrol-dollar scheme, so that dollar is circulated to Saudi. With the US stock and financial market much more lucrative than other countries, the dollars from Saudi are attracted back to the US. Money printed in the US to exchange for goods from outside eventually ends up with the Wall Streets, where the rich gets richer. And that completes the cycle of circulation of the dollars.
The American Dream attracted top talents around the world to strengthen the US’ science and technology sectors, and a technological gap is maintained between the US and other major economy like China, so that the US benefits from highly lucrative high-tech product/patent exports, while low profit manufacturing sector is outsourced to China and Vietnam. This is why world leader in 5G, Huawei, are banned in 2019.
If China or Japan bring back all the dollars and exchange to their local currencies, it inflates the local currencies, making their exports expensive. So, China and Japan use some of the dollars to buy US debts (treasury bonds). That’s why the US, a rich country, is in-debt to China which has just 1/5th of the US’ GDP per capita.
And by holding US treasury bills, China and Japan have to support the US dollar, for if the US dollar collapses, their hard earn money would become worthless. After Obama’s “Pivot to Asia” in 2011, which aimed to contain China, China introduced the Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) in 2013 and diverted some of the dollars into it to reduce the risk of putting all eggs in one basket, and hoping that after these countries are developed, China would have a wider trade market.
With a huge population, if Asia and Africa develop rapidly, the share of the US’ economy shrinks, then the Euro could replace it as the world’s reserve currency. When that happens, the US would no longer be able to print money out of nothing without a hyper inflation like Venezuela. Then the size of the US economy has to fall back to the fundamentals, which today is quite a lot smaller than the inflated economy. That’s why no country in Eurasia is allowed to catch up with the US’ economy. When Japan was catching up fast on the US in the 1980s, they were knocked down to a three decade stagnancy by appreciating the Japanese Yen. And in the last 30 years, the US created conflicts, wars and color revolutions in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa to destabilise the Eurasia-Africa supercontinent.
When the US prints a lot of money, other countries’ foreign reserves in dollars shrink in value. Furthermore, to prevent exports to the US becoming expensive, these countries have to print money too, which devalues the savings of the people, and causing inflations in these countries. It’s estimated that our savings devalue by 6-9% per year after the abolishment of the gold-backed Bretton Woods system, after which the US prints money based on just the creditability of the dollar.
North America is relatively easy to defend, yet the US has a military budget more than the total of the next 9 countries in the top 10, to protect the dollar with its 800 military bases worldwide.
For the record, the US had no mercy on threats to the dollar:
* In 2000 Saddam Hussein said he would start selling oil in Euros not Dollars.
>> Saddam was hanged by the US.
* In 2009 Gaddafi made Libya export oil in Gold Dinars, not in dollar or Euro.
>> Gaddafi was killed by US-backed NTC.
* Syria had an independent Central Bank NOT under Federal Reserve controlled Bank of International Settlements.
>> Obama attempted to overthrow Bashar al-Assad.
* Iran has been trading oil in currencies other than US dollars since 2011.
>> Iran was being sanctioned by the US.
* After being sanctioned in 2014, Putin started to trade in non-dollar. In 2019, Putin (1) completely ditched dollars in oil trades, (2) sold almost all the US treasury bonds, (3) is now the forerunner in de-dollarization.
>> The US tried to topple Putin by supporting Alexei Navalny. And now the Ukraine war to weaken Russia.
* China (1) introduced the BRI in 2013 which helps many countries to develop and speed up the integration of Eurasia, (2) used non-dollar in oil trades with Iran and Russia, (3) introduced the CIPS, an alternative to the West’s SWIFT system which has been weaponized by America, (4) China’s economy and high technology are catching up fast.
>> China has become the US’ #1 target.
If a country supports the dollar, it’s being looted; if a country doesn’t support the dollar, the government is changed by the US. This is financial slavery.
The Fed has printed 80% of all US dollars in existence since Jan 2020. There was $4.02 trillion dollars in circulation at the beginning of 2020. The number reached $20.08 trillion by Oct 2021. This amounted to an astronomical 30 trillions debt. Coupled with a global rising urge to diversify into non-dollar reserves caused by the US’ sanctions to 39 countries, the dollar is in a creditability crisis. This is the major development which shapes geopolitics in the world today.
The US cannot have direct wars with Russia and China because they are nuclear armed. Proxy wars put the battlefields outside of the US, and the US would looked like an outsider. Remember in the 1980s, the US supported the Afghan Mujaheddin in a proxy war against the USSR. Russia and China have clearly defined their redlines. US would use its collaborators Zelensky and Tsai to push across the redlines to trigger the wars, and it would sell weapons to its allies in NATO and AUKUS, and get them to support the wars.
After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, US President Bill Clinton had two choices: (a) to integrate Russia into Europe and abolish NATO, OR, (b) to slowly alienate Russia to keep Russia and Europe divided. Clinton chose the latter, because if there’s no more Russia “threat”, there would be no more NATO to control Europe. As the first NATO Secretary General, Lionel Ismay described the military role of NATO: “To keep America IN, to keep Russia OUT, to keep Germany (Europe) DOWN”. NATO also allows the US to place missiles in Europe, so if a war break out in Europe, missiles would be flying between Moscow the East and Lisbon in the West, while the US remains safe across the Atlantic.
And politically, the EU is an American creation, as much as a European one. It’s much easier for Washington to control ruling elites at Brussels than having to control all politicians in Europe. The EU is used an ally or a sacrificial depending on the geopolitical needs of Washington.
The proxy war in Ukraine: 1.Divided Europe from Russia and divided Eurasia. 2.Killed Nord Stream II gas pipeline and German firm Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg has signed up for gas from America Venture Global LNG for 20 years. The US gained control over energy supply to Europe. 3.Created continuity for the Military Industrial Complex after pulling out of Afghanistan. 4.Most importantly, the war strengthened the dollar. Dollar against Euro is now the highest since NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia in Mar 1999 (happened two months after the official launch of Euro as the currency of the EU, which threatened the dollar). A strong dollar together with the Fed’s interest rise in 2022 cause capitals from all over the world to flow into the US’ economy, while collapsing other economies, like Sri Lanka.
Else where, two months after ignoring a warning from Washington against his visit to Moscow, highly popular Imran Khan was ousted from the PM post of Pakistan on 9 Apr 2022. A month after ignoring Biden’s demand to increase oil production, secretary-general of OPEC, Mohammad Barkindo died unexpectedly on July 6 2022.
The US isn’t relinquishing its privilege to loot. Remember after WW II, Europe and Asia were devastated, but the US emerged as the world leader and the dollar became the world’s reserve currency.

BBC subscribers are simply not allowed to think that deep.. I have a suggestion for BBC to make an episode about renaming streets in Ukrainian cities in order to glorify Hilter collaborans. It is much safer as you do not have to go to the frontline. Maybe an episode about closing all of the Russian schools in the country where at least 50% have Russian as their mother tongue?

Read up on history buddy
Ukrainiens are re-enacting the Wehrmacht retreat well into amazing details !
I think the main difference between Hitler and Putin is the fact Hitler never had to factor in nukes.
It’s within the realm of possibility Russia might make a move on Moldova, but it’s very doubtful Russia will invade a NATO country. That would almost certainly lead to a direct confrontation with a nuclear power.
Just my humble opinion though.
"Anti-tank mines likes these require hundreds of pounds of pressure to set off. Despite that, this is dangerous work."
I was a U.S. Army Combat Engineer in the late 1980s. I was trained to identify and defuze (defuse) and/or disable some of the very same mines these soldiers are using/encountering today. And yes, demining areas with these anti-tank mines is dangerous work not least because anti-tank mines are often emplaced with anti-handling devices or are otherwise boobytrapped. One generally has to work on the assumption that an emplaced mine has boobytrapped.
ukraine forces are retreating. if they removes some minefields they removes they own minefields. but i think they just makes video
So, Ukraine claims to shoot down 99% of all Russian missiles and drones. Never underestimate the power and damage the humble shovel can do to buildings.
Russia has been winning since day one and will win at the end no matter who gets involved
They claim no such thing. And that church was clearly hit by indirect artillery fire. You cannot shoot down indirect artillery fire.
How many billions sent to Ukrain and they cant afford drones?????
oh my gosh... are u really so dumb?
Didn't you listen? Russia builds them with its industry, Ukraine doesn't. Its not about "affording".
There aren't that many "billions" sent to Ukraine. It's been mostly billions worth of old equipment that was due to be replaced soon anyway.

The obligation of certain countries should be to facilitate negotiations and promote peace, not to sell more and more arms.😥
And best wishes to plain citizens of both sides, they're absolutely innocent.🙏🙏🙏
you can't facilitate negotiations with totalitarian regime if sole sense of it's existence is imperialism and expansionism. Negotiations russia is ready for is to give up 2 more ukrainian regions in addition to 3 already been de-facto occupied with all citizens who never voted and never wanted to be russia. Just reminder - Ukraine is free democratic country, where political parties such as "Russia Unite" were allowed but only in Crimea this party was able to get enough votes to be in parliament and it happened once and with only 4% of seats. Negotiate you speaking about is selling your brother or sister to be slave of totalitarian regime where you can get to jail for post in social media or like under western article.
Tell the USSR to piss off and we will.
Can u tell me where is the USSR?Or u just have the rigid thought that Rus equals to USSR? What I said distinctly has nothing to do with USSR, so I'm wondering what reminds u of that.

But the US and UK stood in the way.
Let Putin know you like to take it bent over while you're at it.

Maybe we shouldn't have helped overthrow the Ukrainian government in 2014 and maybe we shouldn't have renegaded on treaty after treaty!?
You re a Poutin stooge !!😂
I rather watch 600 000 Ukrainians on the tv than being a Poutin stooge !

My left ear was very sad watching this.
How this all started?
2014 donbas
Donbas?
When the government changed in Ukraine in 2012
a couple years before i was born, putin was a kgb agent at the time, he killed and lived for the ussr,he helped it live then watched it die suddenly, his greatest wish since then was to remake the ussr, 2014 donbas was just a start,a shot in the dark to see if it works, if he can reclaim the territory and power the ussr held.
When Putler annexed Crimea and started the war in Donbass, he occupied that territory.

Here you go young lady. Wake up!
Former US grand strategist Zbignew Brzezinski said: “It is IMPERATIVE that no Eurasian challenger emerges capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America”. Because the US has just 4% of the world’s population, and it’s isolated from the Eurasia continent which has 70% of the world’s population, or 87% with Africa included. Defensively, it’s an advantage to the US, but economically, it’s a handicap. That’s why economically, Eurasia is a competitor to the US and the Euro is a threat to the dollar.
How does the US with an isolated and just 4% of world’s population maintain its position as the world’s biggest economy? The dollar must stay as the world’s reserve currency. This allows the size of the US economy to be highly scaled up, instead of being sized according to the fundamentals.
To be the world’s reserve currency, the dollar must be circulated in the world. The US created a huge consumption-based economy and shifted manufacturing outside, so that dollars flow out of the US to product suppliers like China or Japan. To make products, China and Japan need energy. The US created the Petrol-dollar scheme, so that dollar is circulated to Saudi. With the US stock and financial market much more lucrative than other countries, the dollars from Saudi are attracted back to the US. Money printed in the US to exchange for goods from outside eventually ends up with the Wall Streets, where the rich gets richer. And that completes the cycle of circulation of the dollars.
The American Dream attracted top talents around the world to strengthen the US’ science and technology sectors, and a technological gap is maintained between the US and other major economy like China, so that the US benefits from highly lucrative high-tech product/patent exports, while low profit manufacturing sector is outsourced to China and Vietnam. This is why world leader in 5G, Huawei, are banned in 2019.
If China or Japan bring back all the dollars and exchange to their local currencies, it inflates the local currencies, making their exports expensive. So, China and Japan use some of the dollars to buy US debts (treasury bonds). That’s why the US, a rich country, is in-debt to China which has just 1/5th of the US’ GDP per capita.
And by holding US treasury bills, China and Japan have to support the US dollar, for if the US dollar collapses, their hard earn money would become worthless. After Obama’s “Pivot to Asia” in 2011, which aimed to contain China, China introduced the Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) in 2013 and diverted some of the dollars into it to reduce the risk of putting all eggs in one basket, and hoping that after these countries are developed, China would have a wider trade market.
With a huge population, if Asia and Africa develop rapidly, the share of the US’ economy shrinks, then the Euro could replace it as the world’s reserve currency. When that happens, the US would no longer be able to print money out of nothing without a hyper inflation like Venezuela. Then the size of the US economy has to fall back to the fundamentals, which today is quite a lot smaller than the inflated economy. That’s why no country in Eurasia is allowed to catch up with the US’ economy. When Japan was catching up fast on the US in the 1980s, they were knocked down to a three decade stagnancy by appreciating the Japanese Yen. And in the last 30 years, the US created conflicts, wars and color revolutions in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa to destabilise the Eurasia-Africa supercontinent.
When the US prints a lot of money, other countries’ foreign reserves in dollars shrink in value. Furthermore, to prevent exports to the US becoming expensive, these countries have to print money too, which devalues the savings of the people, and causing inflations in these countries. It’s estimated that our savings devalue by 6-9% per year after the abolishment of the gold-backed Bretton Woods system, after which the US prints money based on just the creditability of the dollar.
North America is relatively easy to defend, yet the US has a military budget more than the total of the next 9 countries in the top 10, to protect the dollar with its 800 military bases worldwide.
For the record, the US had no mercy on threats to the dollar:
* In 2000 Saddam Hussein said he would start selling oil in Euros not Dollars.
>> Saddam was hanged by the US.
* In 2009 Gaddafi made Libya export oil in Gold Dinars, not in dollar or Euro.
>> Gaddafi was killed by US-backed NTC.
* Syria had an independent Central Bank NOT under Federal Reserve controlled Bank of International Settlements.
>> Obama attempted to overthrow Bashar al-Assad.
* Iran has been trading oil in currencies other than US dollars since 2011.
>> Iran was being sanctioned by the US.
* After being sanctioned in 2014, Putin started to trade in non-dollar. In 2019, Putin (1) completely ditched dollars in oil trades, (2) sold almost all the US treasury bonds, (3) is now the forerunner in de-dollarization.
>> The US tried to topple Putin by supporting Alexei Navalny. And now the Ukraine war to weaken Russia.
* China (1) introduced the BRI in 2013 which helps many countries to develop and speed up the integration of Eurasia, (2) used non-dollar in oil trades with Iran and Russia, (3) introduced the CIPS, an alternative to the West’s SWIFT system which has been weaponized by America, (4) China’s economy and high technology are catching up fast.
>> China has become the US’ #1 target.
If a country supports the dollar, it’s being looted; if a country doesn’t support the dollar, the government is changed by the US. This is financial slavery.
The Fed has printed 80% of all US dollars in existence since Jan 2020. There was $4.02 trillion dollars in circulation at the beginning of 2020. The number reached $20.08 trillion by Oct 2021. This amounted to an astronomical 30 trillions debt. Coupled with a global rising urge to diversify into non-dollar reserves caused by the US’ sanctions to 39 countries, the dollar is in a creditability crisis. This is the major development which shapes geopolitics in the world today.
The US cannot have direct wars with Russia and China because they are nuclear armed. Proxy wars put the battlefields outside of the US, and the US would looked like an outsider. Remember in the 1980s, the US supported the Afghan Mujaheddin in a proxy war against the USSR. Russia and China have clearly defined their redlines. US would use its collaborators Zelensky and Tsai to push across the redlines to trigger the wars, and it would sell weapons to its allies in NATO and AUKUS, and get them to support the wars.
After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, US President Bill Clinton had two choices: (a) to integrate Russia into Europe and abolish NATO, OR, (b) to slowly alienate Russia to keep Russia and Europe divided. Clinton chose the latter, because if there’s no more Russia “threat”, there would be no more NATO to control Europe. As the first NATO Secretary General, Lionel Ismay described the military role of NATO: “To keep America IN, to keep Russia OUT, to keep Germany (Europe) DOWN”. NATO also allows the US to place missiles in Europe, so if a war break out in Europe, missiles would be flying between Moscow the East and Lisbon in the West, while the US remains safe across the Atlantic.
And politically, the EU is an American creation, as much as a European one. It’s much easier for Washington to control ruling elites at Brussels than having to control all politicians in Europe. The EU is used an ally or a sacrificial depending on the geopolitical needs of Washington.
The proxy war in Ukraine: 1.Divided Europe from Russia and divided Eurasia. 2.Killed Nord Stream II gas pipeline and German firm Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg has signed up for gas from America Venture Global LNG for 20 years. The US gained control over energy supply to Europe. 3.Created continuity for the Military Industrial Complex after pulling out of Afghanistan. 4.Most importantly, the war strengthened the dollar. Dollar against Euro is now the highest since NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia in Mar 1999 (happened two months after the official launch of Euro as the currency of the EU, which threatened the dollar). A strong dollar together with the Fed’s interest rise in 2022 cause capitals from all over the world to flow into the US’ economy, while collapsing other economies, like Sri Lanka.
Else where, two months after ignoring a warning from Washington against his visit to Moscow, highly popular Imran Khan was ousted from the PM post of Pakistan on 9 Apr 2022. A month after ignoring Biden’s demand to increase oil production, secretary-general of OPEC, Mohammad Barkindo died unexpectedly on July 6 2022.
The US isn’t relinquishing its privilege to loot. Remember after WW II, Europe and Asia were devastated, but the US emerged as the world leader and the dollar became the world’s reserve currency.

End the war by the Word of God.
Anyone shouting UPA nazi words that escalated the war in 2014 - "glorytoukraine,glory to our nation" must be reminded that God's Word says - "I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols." Isaiah 42:8

@@Shinshocks555hard to argue any side is winning at this time .

Correct!
so?
It’s not just Ukrainians fighting this war
Why don’t send British soldiers, instead of weapons, to the frontline as Uk desperately want to fight against Russia?
you know that nato soldiers can't go to ukraines frontlines and fight russia because that's litreally like declaring war on russia bro
Brits have sent soldiers to Ukraine, they're on the ground helping them operate storm shadow missiles
Because contrary to what the BBC would have you believe most of us Brits don't support this war of deception, our own government is just as dangerous if not more than the Russian government and we know it.
