- Опубликовано: 7 май 2018
- Together with Russell Bentley and Ronald (both originally from Texas, USA), we continue exploring the city of Donetsk in search of truth regarding what is really going in the city.
The city center of Donetsk is still having a regular life. It's hard to say there are the war in the outskirts where people of Donbass are fighting for their independence.
Those Texans are cringey af
cringy
no
yeah, these guys doesn't seem very intelligent.
Are you a NAZI ?
He's now banned from the US
Аnd what?
Donetsk was a beautifull city. I used to live there 20 years ago. Can't forget my Ukrainian girl friend Olga.
Is there fighting still going on there?
@@theo_2949 Unfortunately YES.
@@fleekrushyt9410 thank you for explaining the current situation there. I'm quite interested in what's happening in Donetsk
@@theo_2949 well it’s sovereign now
@@metrik1b.257 it's not and never will be
Pony tail man “we will not forget what our grandfathers did”, “we built a monument” umm dude you’re not Ukrainian you’re American. This is too weird
Pure Pentagon and Tel-Aviv propaganda.
They go to DNR because they can shoot other people.
Well, as they said, they are now residents of Donetsk.
Pony tail guy is a wanted felon in the US!
@@jeffbreezee what is his name?
When you see the children playing, knowing a war front is close by, it makes you sad. I'll never understand how today we still have war.
95% of the reason war still exists is Capitalism. Ever-lasting peace will never happen with Capitalism. It's bad business.
Just look at the stocks of weapons industries right now in the US.
Who is to blame for this?
@@astralisranger517 putler
Of it wasn’t for the Russian fascists there would be no war
Did you go to the airport?
Today RUclips scrubbed Russell "Texas" Bentley (Tejas) from their platform. He's had videos on here for years going back to 2014 and they're all gone today.
it feels kind of wierd that american is telling me about Donetsk ..
He's Texan
Thank you so much for showing us what life in Donetsk looks like now days!
nice
nowdays? Waiting at the ruzzian border, cause they dont want them there while fleeing like rats from the ukie liberation force hahaha
lol I saw this dude on VICE. I can't believe he's still alive!
@Nino Tomic true
Yes he is still alive even now in 2022..
@Rikhil Kaushal he is a good man. He is doing good and continues fighting
One of the weirdest things I’ve ever watched
no
You only the weird one here
I am not very travelled. But i started to notice, that Donbass even during war looks better maintained as my capital city in central europe. Better building, approximatelly same mass transit. Far more monuments with balls. It is especially funny, since some of our politicians tend to regard east as something backward. In reality, we are backwards both on the west and on the east. Even Kiev looks far better. We are like a China for EU, but China works hard for itself, we work hard for others. And this is a tragedy.
how a foreigner can travel to LUGANSK and DONETSK? I heard you need a special permision and the rebels who control those areas make a lot of questions about your purpose of visit.
Yes they do. At least speak russian, nobody knows english there. Most of the time you need a reason to enter.
They travel through a Russian border
@@moritzwagner4332 I'm American and speak Russian. I'm sure these guys can speak it.
@@melaniebrinson2365 yeah probably bc it's impossible to live here without it.
you people live with Lions..Ukrainian partisans are fighting the fascist Russian invaders and with any luck they will send Russel to answer charges in the Hague.. or let the buzzards have him mark my words, I told the world Givi was about to be killed then two days
wow..amazing. It's a great video and can explain much about condition in Donetsk. Thank you and very useful information
My grandparents used to live here and I was baptized in this city. The city was so beautiful during the Euro Cup 2012 ! So clean and was booming. So sad to see what had happened after that... Glad we left.
Very sad that fascists from Kiev attacked the city. They will pay.
I was really sad when the stadium in Donetsk was shelled. Loved that thing and many classic matches in UCL were played there
One of those Texas guys is a convicted felon in the US and still wanted. What a bunch of propaganda
@@jeffbreezee and everyone in the us media knew Jeff Epstein pretty much, along with loads of war criminals. So, what did one of those Texans do?
@@jeffbreezee I was thinking ... WTF are those 2 guys doing there ? Shady as fuk.
I wonder how this Texas guy is doing right now
@Slingblade_d3lUx3 he will run to Russia when Ukrainian army comes soon
@Slingblade_d3lUx3 cope and seethe hahaha🤣🤣
@Slingblade_d3lUx3 sais the bot 😂🤣😅
To the Texans: why don't you fight fascism at home? we have plenty of it here
Ifiot
I don’t believe there is fascism in texas?
Thank you for showing life in Donetsk! Much respect and admiration for your courage and your work, Texas, from Chile
The place looks good for all that have happened.
The city is bank rolled by russia now
Police state now, Russia getting ready to build their 12mile bridge to connect Russia and then they will begin building military bases and missile systems, with their new land mass they can shoot missiles all the way to the middle east from Russia, no tourism peoples business are closing down, people are having the lowest wage in history.
@Nino Tomic Nah down with Russia, can't wait till America turns it into stalingrad
This place looks good because people know how to rebuild their house. As a Donetsk resident, I can say what happened here.
@@juuk3103 No-one is going to nuked Russia you idiot lol
it is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees
This video is like communism. I just don’t know how to feel about it.
Communism? How?
Did you hear anything about communism in this vid?
These people always label armies of democratic countries "Nazis" if it suits their agenda/bloodlust. To be expected, really.
Thanks guys for your views and filming. a shame agreement cannot be reached and all can live with peace. Ukraine has many who speak Russian and do not hate Russia they are still Ukrainian. That some think all Ukrainians are Nazis this is a big lie fed to you by your controlled media, you used to be all best of friends remember. That most in Ukraine would like to be within the EU is just for economic betterment. I hope a peaceful plan can be enabled and all the killing and bitterness stopped.
Poverty is a terrible thing... Remembering what I saw back in 14-15 breaks my heart to pieces.
No one thought all Ukrainians were Nazis, it's just that the neo-Nazis have the actual power in Ukraine's government, there is a video of Zelensky visiting the frontline in Donbass to fulfill his campaign promise of ending the war since the neo-Nazis would not obey his order to pull away from the frontline, and this low ranking soldier was telling him off and Zelensky did nothing about it
these are some very very interesting and informative episodes you’re making. Regarding the self proclaimed rambo, i hope he speaks russian because at this point it’s either Donetsk or Guantanamo bay :D
Like Pridnestrovija, there are Russians don't want to have their identity and culture vanished by foreign nationalism
But in Pridnestrovie they opress moldovans now
0:16 That is what it is all about. Thanks for sharing guys. It is nice to see the Spirit of the Donetsk.
Sirozha! I am American and I was there in 2001. Donetsk was so beautiful then. It is still difficult for me to think of that place destroyed by war because the memories were so good.
Good to see you Sergey, Thanks to you and your Texan friends for taking the time to show us around.
Who’s here after finding out call of duty war zone is based on Donetsk
Thanks. If you could do more roaming in the city videos.
Can you a video along Illychia, paying special attention near the med university ? Thanks.
Ill be there soon can you help me with applications for those jobs in the region?
It would be nice to hear varied opinions of random people from the streets though, not just the speech of one guy from texas who has went to Donetsk to play war. And afer all, they are free - from what? They just got war on their daily thoughts. It could have been better than that. It's true, and you Sergiy has said this indeed - normal people everywhere just want piece. Food, good sleep, love - the normal things. Noone wants war and separation leads to conflict, conflict leads to war. There are better ways to keep a region's identity than destroying it's airport and living in constant fear. This is not freedom.
Exactly. This is just a propaganda video.
@@joshwizardguy7662 thanks America!
@@adamsmith2944 You're welcome, my ignorant European friend!
@@joshwizardguy7662 im not European. What am I ignorant of? I followed both sides the entire conflict and talked to people who live in the AOs. Also had a friend in American SOF that operated there. So tell me please.
Who is watching this in 2022.
Anyone?
Me
thank you Sergey my friend
Great Video.
Congrats Sergey!
Hi can you help with visiting Donetsk ? Not much information online.
Donetsk is in Ukraine this is rediculious. It would be like a city in Australia saying it wants to become part of England because they don't like the new government...
3:48 to 4:30 : that's exactly the point. It's their land.
I like what you re doing Sergey and I really enjoy your vids since years . In my opinion you should be really carefull not to go to deep into spreading political messages... just stay in the business of connecting the culture where politics tries to make us think we re so different... but i think that the persons you re interviewing here are a little bit off the road from your primarily goal. This Russel guy is clearly not objective... its fine when he thinks like that but you should not promote his black&white propaganda like stories.... Dont get me wrong, i really like what you re doing but .... try to keep it neutral and keep out the politics... there are some amazingly stupid comments below this video...stay focused... keep up the good work. regards
Its pretty obvious Sergey has been given his orders to move to St Petersberg and now is in the business of spreading propaganda for the Russian Government.
That would be pretty stupid.
You are assuming he had a choice. Think about it, moves with no real explanation, no mention of a new job lined up in St Petersberg (Sergey has always had a paid job before), immediately begins producing propaganda videos about Ukraine despite saying in previous videos Real Russia is non political. You can even hear it in his voice that he is not really enthusiastic about what he is doing. Its not rocket science.

md80 captain The fact you and Russell Bentley are doing all the responding in these comments really speaks volumes, you have zero credibility and in fact your presence here just confirms what is already obvious regarding the new direction of this channel and who is behind it.
Will you go to Mariupol also?
And so the Donetsk Arc begins.
A propagandist interviewing a couple of weirdos. Thank you for showing us the state of Donetsk today.
How can I get a private guide for Donetsk ?
I just spent a month in Russia. Last year I was in the Ukraine for 3 weeks. Both peoples are good. I really don’t understand the 2 Texans. Putin must love them.
You didnt go to Russia or Ukraine if you dont understand
go sadin Putin loves everyone and tries to keep peace. He loves the haters like you as well.
ПРИВЕТ RUclips Really???
Hey Sergey! I've been watching Real Russia for years!
I'm an American but I'm fascinated by Eastern Europe. I'm finally studying Russian at my university 😊
does Ronald have a YT?
I left Donesk 22 years before.. Wish I can visit this city again.
"You can get a beer with your burger here " 😁🤣
DurtCannon worth fighting a fight for
And some irish whiskey too
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. We have Big Mac in UK. or did. But everyone here prefers McDonalds. I think. I do anyways :) I love the monument to The Beetles. NICE. The art of the sculptures to remember the war. The dead & The heroes. Impressive art. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Stay safe...
DPR is not even a recognised country. It seems much quieter than I remember.
Sergei very good video!
great video
Time of truth has come . Very tense times .
Sergey, GREAT WORK! Respect from USA.
One of those men is from Texas, one isn’t. Which do you think?
Beautiful city !!
God bless you all
Does anyone remember this guy from vice??
yes me
in what part....?
Big respect Sergey for making these videos in Donetsk. You've leveled up.
Strange video. I was in Donetsk in 2014 when the war started, and lived through a little of it. I wonder if you still see tanks driving around the main street (Artema, probably renamed now), and if the closed-down hotels and dorms are still filled with Russian and Chechen mercenaries. I lived right in the center, so I got to see a lot of what happened first-hand. BTW, the Beatles monument is there because of the cafe and nightclub called Liverpool. I used to go there quite often to get a cheap meal. I wonder if that place is still open...
Chechen mercenaries. Yikes.
so you were there back then and all you noticed was foreign "mercenaries"? Had you not spoken to locals once?
@@James-th7wb Chechen mercenaries on the street has always been great way to attract tourists and business. 🤪
@@brinjoness3386 lol
That's really strange situation... We cant see Ukrainians living there talking freely anymore. And I know that have Ukrainians there. It's sad when "freedom" is only available for one side of view.
Great reportage! Hello for Russell!
My question is what made you want to come to donetsk
Great shout out for the Guinness 😉☘️
*Warzone players have joined the chat*
What about airport?
10 cents for the bus that's awesome,....
The place is poor as dirt so it's a pretty steep price for the locals.
@3:17 "as a dumbass" more like it
Welldone tex your still there
very nice video
Sorry I can’t stand an American telling me anything about Donets’k
?
Stay safe and don't mind the haters. Will you go to LNR too?
XsamwiseX45 A great question! I hope he does.
Transnistria is interesting too.
I think he has proven Donetsk passes the town square test.

All shining beacons of freedom and prosperity.
Glory to Donetsk and Lugansk!
Also, happy Victory Day!
Great one Sergey
md80Captain: Respectfully, thank you for your interesting fable as to how the situation in Donbass came to be. We could spend days pointing out different facts and not change our views. But, I have a very respectful question to ask: Isn't it strange that of all the countries in the world only the Republic of South Ossetia formally recognizes the DPR?
Cashberry and Putin are now official advertisers of this channel 😂. This is real American Russian collusion.
md80 captain obvious that you can't see the joke in my comment.
8:39 I wouldn't say that guys are now coolest guys in Texas with those shirts on.
cool
This is such a bizarre video lol
Thank you for covering Donetsk! My friends home was destroyed in Donetsk by Ukrainian artillery.
You mean destroyed by the US backed Ukraine Nazi army.
Louie Kidd yes
Is there someway to help you. Unfortunately i have no money or anything. But if there is i would gladly help for my fellow pro russians.
Ps i am not a troll or anything but im not from russia nor europe. Nor i am chinese.
Louie Kidd Correct.
The Eagle Buy Russian products! Buy DPR products!
Russell, un verdadero norteamericano.
foolish statement
I like those us guys. Givi was real life badass
Just realized this is film about eastern Ukraine. Such a tragedy. Very interesting.
0:04 refurbished T6B5?
Hello Russell Bentley Texas
Open the arena for the people
This is interesting
Thanks guys for fighting fascism ! It’s what we all have to do !
md80 Captain: My point is that virtually no one considers DPR to be a Republic. Thus, DPR is fictitious as a legal entity.and so are their passports. A respectful question: Can someone holding a DPR passport use it to anyplace in the world other than Russia? BTW why hasn't Russia formally recognized DPR if it recognizes DPR passports?
md80Captain: Yes, Putin showed restraint when U. S. killed 500 Russian mercenaries in Syria. Trump showed restraint at Putin animation video showing latest Russian missiles heading to U. S. West Coast. Let's hope that both leaders continue to show restraint.
Beautiful video. really enjoyed. It is a great pleasure to find your video. Donetsk is my favorite city. one day I will be visit here. inshallah
Where are you from?
Who here cause of Warzone?
Love your videos!! Think Russia/eastern Europe would be an amazing place to visit& even has an Irish pub brilliant!!🇬🇧🇮🇪☔️☕️
shizznit I wasn't commenting on the politics/government/activity of Russia or the rest of eastern Europe! I wouldn't presume we are even given accurate/truthful news or all the information by any news channel/politicians etc & considering you were bothered enough to reply& insult me you never disclosed what side your on!!??🇬🇧🇮🇪☔️☕️💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
This was an unexpected pleasure. I know you don't want to be and shouldn't be political but having these American gentlemen discuss the Donbas will be helpful for all. Thank You very much.
Interesting to see something from the Donetsk side of the war
Yes, but this is 2018, when it was more or less quiet
@@ya_cactus How is life in Donetsk now? Has driving the enemies out of the city made life better, or has the escalation of the war made things more complicated?
@@ya_cactus When we read the Russia claim, the city is under massive et daily bombing with massive civilian casualty since 2014, 4 years before the video.
You can't force everybody into a hole they have to live somehow by the way we do care from🇺🇸
Молодец.
What a great surprise. I was led do believe that everything was destroyed. Happy to see that things are running and are clean. As to political comments: The space from Oder River on the German border to Vladivostok is a Slavic World. The peoples living in the Slavic World must co-exist and live in peace with each other. A peaceful Slavic World is essential for World stability and peace. To trouble seekers: Think about it before you write a rude comment the next time, and before you fire the next bullet. With love for a Pacifist Christian Slavic Slovenian Canadian.
Well put, I suppose you wouldn't be against political union of slavic peoples then?
@@denxero in a peaceful world, neighbours, will respect each other. Regions would govern themselves as per their traditions, customs and religious beliefs. (Blogger Ely showed that Czechens have different customs laws than Muscovites). I see no need for a political union. In my mind, politics represent intrigue, corruption, bribery, lies, deep state, swamp...
I also wrote that Dombass is the cradle of the Slavs. Destroy the Slavs - destroy the White Race. For what??? To widen the doors for humanity's march on the road to Sodom and Gomorrah.
ive watched every no fake no bullshit episode
I’m in Russia now and I want to visit the DPR. How do I get there?
