'My home too': For Russians in Ukraine, the motherland is now the enemy • FRANCE 24 English

- Before the start of the war, thousands of Russian nationals lived in Ukraine, many of whom now find themselves torn between their country of origin and the place they have come to call home. Some, like 40-year-old Andrey Sidorkine who has lived in Kyiv for 15 years, say they are willing to take up arms against invading Russian forces to protect their adopted country.

Ну как делишки?
Andrey is so cool. Great that he understands why he is not able to be in the official Ukrainian army and doesn’t get angry about it, still helping as a volunteer.
Integrity!!!!!!!!!!!
He tried 5 times. I bet he got really angry it.
@@ascoop22 Probably not. They were probably quite nice to him at the recruitment office, but they are simply not allowed to make an exception for him. I mean, they should be honored that he wants to take up arms with them against his own countrymen. They are probably saying "thank you" and also apologizing to him.
@@syncmonism Everyone was quite nice and he never got angry. As long as you know that is how it happened.
Yes
It's important to not make this war into a war between Ukranian and Russian people.
But rather against the regime currently controlling Russia which claims to speak for Russian people.
I think it's a little too late for that.
@@ascoop22
STOP RUSSOPHOBIA!
At some point the "just following orders" excuse isn't going to be enough. Many Germans were just following orders, and they feared prison sentences if they disobeyed. We all know where that led.
@@KNYD for most of them death.
@@ascoop22 better later than never
Congratulations to the brave Russians standing against this invasion. 🇺🇦🙏
It's not an invasion. It's special operation.
@@thebacheafghan I wonder what an invasion would look like according to you. I cannot imagine any scenarios worse than the current one. Or was it sarcasm?
Clare did you read anything about history of Slavic nations?
@@thebacheafghan это не спецоперация это было вторжение
@@thebacheafghan если это был сарказм, то не смешно!!
respect for these people
Thank you for informing us of their plight. My heart goes out to them and I pray for safety and Ukrainian assistance.
Peace & Love ❤️🙏
СВОБОДНАЯ УКРАИНА СВОБОДНАЯ УКРАИНА СВОБОДНАЯ УКРАИНА!!!!
Much respect to her for her stance to take up arms against the Russian invaders.
Keep a smile on your face, girl !
What anout Donbass? Do you support the genocide there from 2014?
Poor people, it s so hard for them!
humanity? mullivaikkal massacre- over 40,000 Tamilian killed in 2009 and what was the world was doing?
@@tamilianboys6664 we don't care about muslim. These our white orthodox brothers
What anout Donbass? Do you support the genocide there from 2014?
The Russian people are also victims of this madness. This is Putin’s war not Russia’s.

What do you know about Slavic's history?

Molly Dooker - You're a just another either Moron or TROLL!
And that IS A LIE. Your brainwashed Z-audience and opportunists with stomachs instead of brains cheer for every act of russia's colonial aggression against other countries, calling the attacked slurs and demanding their extinguishing. Desperately trying to shout over the fact their land is a S-hole and over the lack of achievements in anything constructive EVER. They LOVE to humiliate others for their happiness and independence, looking helplessly as they progress while they're going NOWHERE. I'll tell you a secret: nobody likes them and their land and will not start liking it when you attack their land and people.
Praying for the people of Ukraine
should have more like and action hear on prayer .... shame .... people shame!!!!!!
Hello from the US... absolutely- there is a difference between the true wishes of the people and the wishes/ ambitions of those in power who are willing to go to extreme measures to manipulate the general populous to their goals.... this is true in every nation to a large or smaller degree... don't give up your humanity by taking all "official" pronouncements and policies immediately to heart... listen but do your own fact checking before committing to a policy that can soak your hands in blood against your friends and neighbors....we all deserve better than to be manipulated and sacrificed for the ambition of the tyrannical few.
I totally agree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And put your money where your mouth is to support the people who are being bombed out of their homes/country and seeking refuge.
Respect, this is true hero fight for the country not about the racist issue just like Putin.
Comedian destroying his country .he have to negotiate with putin before war starts
If you value your motherland over your new adopted home, go back.
If you value your new adopted home over where you fled, show respect to it and get assimilated. It's simple.
Ukrainians are Russians. STOP RUSSOPHOBIA
@@iqry11 then leave them alone
@@iqry11 Ukrainians ARE NOT Russians, and what is happening right now in our countries brings us even further away and shows who is who
I hope that the dictatorship in Russia will fall. People deserves human rights, justice, freedom but of course they must respect the law. Without order there is a chaos but too much of everything do more harm than benefit. Too much of dictatorship but also too much of freedom is not good. It is important to have strong laws which applies to everyone to ensure the balance.
So sorry for these innocents
I know that there's a lot of good Russian people just because what Putin's doing doesn't mean that all Russians agree with him I know they don't I see them protesting against him God bless the civilians in Russia God bless the ukrainians god somehow find a peacemaker
Poland has been getting to know Russian politicians for above 80 years and knows them very well that's why
"History teaches that a democracy without values easily turns into open or disguised totalitarianism" Pope John Paul II
This comment is underrated.
And whay is a democracy without values ?
Respect for these people 👏
At last France24 acknowledged existence of Russian community in Ukraine.
The sadness in my heart 💜
humanity? mullivaikkal massacre- over 40,000 Tamilian killed in 2009 and what was the world was doing?
@@tamilianboys6664 Wow thats so sad to hear about too
Humans sometimes should fight for justice. It is NOW. The world must help Ukraine more and more.
We South Koreans sincerely support Ukrainian.
Please let the world know what you are doing to show your support.
its very hard for them pity they couldn't come west as refugees , they are innocent people
I’m sure if the time comes, there will be plenty of weapons he’ll find to defend his adopted home. The fact that he understands the situation why he isn’t allowed to join the Ukrainian defense forces. Volunteering to make Molotov cocktails is just as important in the defense of Ukraine. Stretcher bearers. Helping medical personnel. Etc. There are enough ways to help with the war effort.
Yes, if the AngloBritania-FrenchIrishMohawkSpanlishNorwegianMexicanApacheTexanIncanSwedishSeminoleAustrioHungarian Empire's army ever invades the USA, I would oppose them instead of my adopted homeland also. It would be understandable if the American army didn't accept me under those circumstances, and I would have to figure out a different way to help.
I’m so sorry for guys i hope you guys well do well on the end bless you guys love from Australia and Slovenia
Strange that they don't complain about military agression in Donbass, but against Russia.
Oh... He wants to join Azov... ...
.🤔🤔🤔
Poor Donbass people. They are still struggling from ukroNazis.
I feel for Russians living else where especially in Ukraine watching Putins army tear apart the country they call home. This is a terrible situation for all involved. Someone in Putins circle needs to take him out and soon!
Thats how westerns work. Sounds bad.
Andrey is a man of morals and honour. There should be companies open for Russians to join. 👏👏👏👍 good man Andrey ❤
We must all pray for Shalom/Peace/Strength/Endurance and Victory for the nation of Ukraine 🙏🇺🇦
We know they have plenty of Courage already 💪 🇺🇦
May God Bless them and keep them (Ukrainians and Russians civilians alike)
I juat want to say to the Russian people that this is not your fault and I am sorry - this is not in your name. #SaveUkraine #NoWarPlease
This guy is top, heart and conscience is clear.
Women of Ukraine are united. It takes one Russian soldier to take care of 10 Ukrainian soldiers, but, it takes 10 soldiers to take care of one Ukrainian woman. Russian soldier, word of advice put sunflower seeds in your pocket, when you die at least there will be sunflowers growing. SLAVA UKRANIA>
Cannot they also flee to the EU. Germany is already considering giving Russian soldiers that laid down their wapons asylum.
Undercover, underground forces...
There are always people who give us hope for a better future, even in the current moment of darkness.
People who have a soul know that they must stand up to the evil in this world. It is the only way to affirm the Divine against real evil.
For Russians in Ukraine who fear repatriation (including soldiers who have surrendered) it may be to the advantage of Ukraine to offer them asylum.
This is vlads war. Not regular Russian people's.
Maybe these guys were forced to say what they said.
We are all human beings , no matter where we live .
As people say this is Putins War not the Russian people’s.
"My home too" I don't see that as a long term possibility.
There are millions, if not hundreds of millions or Russians who hate Putin and are now in dire danger, no matter where they live. It is up to all of us to know that this struggle is not against Russians, but against Putin, and his army. Compassion, wherever it can be employed, is what makes us better than Putin, so, like a light switch, we need to learn the skill.
All you need is a bit of knowledge of world history or just brain and logic.
God Bless everyone in Ucrania prayers are with all of you 🙏🇺🇦🙏♥️🇺🇦♥️🇺🇦♥️♥️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦♥️♥️🙏
May God protect you fellow Russians, who made the smart move to leave Russia.
It seems that small groups of Ukraine operatives could secretly move across the border into Russia on foot with a small number of Javelin Missiles and work their way towards some good targets. Once they were in range of the targets, dig a hole to bury the launch assembly, then fire the missiles and bury the launchers and all other gear except the civilian clothes they would wear afterwards.
Praying for your safety 🙏
Ukraine on fire 2016 is an excellent documentary to watch
😔😥😥 I 🙏 for 🇺🇦
Good man, unfortunate he can't join the main army but understandable. Still doing his part
Glory to Ukraine 💙💛💙💛❤
I think they could serve in support roles. Assisting evacuees, medical, etc.
Russia, go home!
The devil is alive in Russia.
Can't believe but devil exist not god
Ukrainians for peace!
i can't think how much broken is the identity of this people right now, it s sad
Nice reporting, thank you, from the US.
are you a bot?
@@Deathstroke-r7h no, not a bot, just a tired old man with a bunch of life experience I still remember. Thanks for asking. I had to do a self bot check to be sure.

What an ethnocentric place that your passport defines you rather than your actions
So sad we did not expect all these
If Russians are true, then all civilians must go out and walk to protest and aks Putin GO down.
May the Holy Spirit and the Ultimate power of Angels descend and rescue Ukraine and it's people. Amen
i know there are a lot of great russian people in ukraine but russia has inserted sabateurs among them that is why these people are treated this way its a sad but understandable situation.
I don’t get this feeling “torn” thing. I love Britain, but I wouldn’t for a second try and defend it when it does something unforgivable, like Brexit. I now refuse to buy anything with a Union Jack on it, and if there is a European alternative I will always buy that instead. My actions are meant to punish my country for what it has done. Surely everyone does that when their country behaves appallingly?
Z, I advise you call for a cease for the sake of your people. And it doesn't matter if you would have to make compromises for the sake of your people. 2. Draw a better inclusion plan for Russian speaking Ukrainians. 3. Remain a neutral country(non-alignment). Withdraw your NATO membership application. Why? NATO will benefit from you more than you do from them. You can maintain friendship with Western countries,but not joining NATO. Finally peace will reign. People will return to rebuild their lives.
What about the drone that fell on Zagreb?
Long live Ukraine !
It becomes part of Poland soon.
The Putin’s worst mistake.
Go to Syria and ask them as well...
Pls. Pray the Rosary & Devine Mercy Chaplet for peace in all countries...pls pray for peace and joy on all families and home...
Ukraine military is missing an opportunity here. Imagine the psychological impact that a volunteer Russian unit would have.
Surely there is someone in the Ukrainian officer corps that speaks Russian as well and could act as liaison's for the command staff.
Not to mention possible intel operations that utilize native speakers.
Respect!
As an immigrant I understand very well how you can come to identify your adopted country as your home. But then why do you have Russian citizenship? Is that just a government document that has no allegiance significance to you?
some people have duel citizenship, and lets be real, no one cares about citizenship passports
a "Russian Brigade" in the Ukrainian Territorial Defense....
now that scares the hell out of "Darth inVader" Putin....
one way to spot bias news is to ask yourself : "why am I being told this narrative?"
Yeah, Russians, especially Putin should tell the World why he has such an itch on his nuke button thumb. Sooo weird. Perhaps he has early Dementia from too much lead from all the training in the KGB shooting ranges. Bet they don't have modern ventilation. And what about the waterpipes and paints in Kremlin? It is kognitive abilities that suffer first. Always the same phenomena with government in Kreml. They start with some good ideas but then they just go nuts.
Such a pity Ukraine could have been a bridge for Russia to the west ,yes maybe stating that they would remain neutral in hindsight but I'm not ukranian and ultimately its their choice, right to choose Russia has treated them poorly in the past this could have been the path for better relations in time survive Ukraine
We are the world.
Putin the people of Ukraine dont live in Soviet times they are modern
It is just so sad💔
With that beard I'm surprised Azov didn't chuck bacon at him, poor guy hope they will be ok in the end. If he can find them he could try the chechen ILTDU division but those are hardened veterans, I don't think they have time for noobs and probably aren't allowed to accept him anyway.
It is a mistake for NATO not to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Not doing so is the safer course to take, but it is also the course that will loosen the bonds that hold Europe together. When NATO stands idle while neighboring cities are bombed to oblivion other countries start to wonder if they too would be left on their own at a time of need. This unease should evaporate when NATO asserts itself.

If you want to know the truth, watch the film of the French journalist Anne Bonel"DONBASS 2016"
At least any normal comments. Thanks!
This phobia against Russians is so sad
In case she is feeling bored she can clean her hallway and stairs. 😅
Geee, how poor must these russians living in Ukraine be when Ukraine is already a poor country with miserable wages???
Irrelevant comment
Let him join the army!!!
You can never take away freedom of thought!! Brutal repression does not Work!!
Nice that he mentioned Azov Nazi.
You talk about native ukranian but no justice for native american
Qnd Iraq and Japan and Vietnam and Yugoslavia and Siria and Palestin. What a fake world.
So sad 🌹God bless you guys ❤️
Thank you for this report. EVERYone is a victim of war - (unprovoked attack on a foreign nation).
It was provoked since 2014. Google for Odessa May and Donbass genocide.
Even the ethic Russians who've been under bombardment in Donbass for the past 8 years feel that way?
I'm surprised.
Ok… let’s counter this. Russia attacked Ukraine from within Ukraine as Putin’s speech finished.
So maybe they stop now calling Russia 'motherland'?
This sad.
It’s sad one man has used it’s citizens as ponds while he lives at peace going around destroying lives. Hopefully he meets his doom soon.
What?
Perhaps the Russians can substitute 5K Ruble notes for beets in their Borscht!
Ummm…. Tastes like sadness and despair!
@@lyubabryanska7577 We are just getting started.
Андрей - большой молодец, уважаю!!
My partner is a Russian from Ukraine. He remembers the Nazi worthy treatment at the hands of the people.
There are 7 million Ethnic Russians in Ukraine and many of them have dual citizenship and Ethnic Russian Population is declining in Former Soviet States(Except Russia)
again civilians got nothing to do with this madness, it is the politucians who should take up the arms and go fight for people, not other way arpund
You can run but you can’t hide
