Pavel J I do, But there's something about Vice that i just prefer over any other news channel. I'm probably gonna get a lot of shit for this statement but they seem very unbiased and try their best to just show it how it is.
How do you figure that? It's like me trying to describe America and picking only some criminal and gopnik types. Different people have joined the Rebellion for totally different reasons. And the Rebellion itself is just the tip of the iceberg. Like yesterday I'm watching a perfectly neutral travel blog about my beloved Kharkov and they're showing the former Dzerzhinsky Square and there it is- Petlyura's red and black flag! So they destroyed the statue of Lenin because it was traumatizing them but they don't give a rat's ass that that frigging flag is traumatizing us. End of story.

That grenade launcher is an AGS-30, production started in 1995, and only used by 5 countries in the world none of which start with a letter "U". At this point, you can't doubt there's any Russian involvement, but you can't doubt there's not Western involvement as well. Both sides' grunts know that the cease-fire never works, and it's always alternating hands on who is firing into one another's territory breaking the ceasefires. It's a vicious cycle at this point, one side will always retaliate for the actions of the other. Civilians will always die, and both sides will be to blame. In this war, there's no right or wrong, just whoever you favor - Russia or the EU.

Rebels do not have these types of weapons because they cannot buy them or use them. It takes a year to learn how to use artillery with any accuracy. And it takes a trained unit to operate. And these "rebels" never run out of shells. These "rebels" never run out of food or fuel. These "rebels" have better logistic skills then fedex. Rebels go home at night, these men never leave.

If you believe there is no Rus troops in Ukraine, you are blind. Also, look back in history. Germany(WWll Era) "liberated" a small patch of land near Germany's border. Countries in Europe(like England) said to Germany(I'm using exaggeration) Wtf are you guys doin? Germany said the little population on that small land was mostly German and wanted to be w/ Germany. Germany did it about 2-3 more times w/ the same excuse, and then Blitzkrieg ed Poland, thus, starting WWll. **On a side note** Rus has taken small portions of Georgia.
***** who the hell told you that? have you actually seen how it looked like? you can look it up how it looked like before the US ''intervention''. same goes to afganistan
Sorry, but correction. Russia never took any part of Goorgia, there are a frozen conflict there and was since 1991 after USSR collapsed, two regions in Georgia declared independence, they were not recognized as USA didn't want it. So they still unrecognized regions, they are not a part of Russia neither Georgia.
The civilians and separatists don't know this, but the shelling of their structures is an attrition technique... The town is held by separatists. It gets shelled because of their presence. The civilians are supposed to kick them out... If you could stop your town from getting swathed by artillery by kicking out squatting vagrants, would you do it? That is the plan...
Keston Hurd Seriously.The people of Donbass do not give a shit about which flag they're flying.They just want the military to leave.Unfortunately,they are being suppressed,scared into their cellars to hide from GRAD fire.
This war makes no sense. They should have had an official referendum organized by OSZE. Would have saved many lifes. These areas who are inhabited by majority of russian natives are lost for ukraine. There is no way that they will rule over this area again. The people who live there are against them. Even if they retake the area under military control they will still be attacked by separatists from the underground backed by the majority of native russian people. Russia is not officialy going into the terretory cause it doesnt want an escalation war in whole east europe. And they have no reason to take any territory that is not inhabited by majority of russian people. Russia as the EU/US are liars and the loosers are the people who just want to live their daily life in freedom. Interesting will be larger citys like Mariuopol who are 50/50 russian and ukrainian.
Simon unbalanced? He saw those people for what they really are. Torturing and kidnapping terrorists. And this guy is clearly is biased towards those thugs. Asks citizens implying it was ukranian shells. You don`t do that unless you are from RT. They can`t possibly know.
***** maybe his reports became balanced because he is afraid of getting kidnapped and tortured agAin, so he just plays along with the rebels ballox/rubbish talk. please open them eyes, good woman!
"In the future, we will go to Mariupol" - please remember what he says because right now there are no fights in Mariupol, nobody is getting killed there. The citizens of Mariupol see themseves as ukrainans and don't want to be part of DNR (Simon Ostrovsky showed it in previouse dispatches!)
I find it hilarious how Simon talked mad shit about Russia and got kidnapped. Now he hides behind the Ukrainian army watching them retreat while this reporter gets some real action.
Reporting and "talking shit" are 2 different things. It's not Simon's fault that the separatists kidnap and threaten to kill anyone who doesn't show them in a positive, biased light.
BiGKiDXavieR Holloman What he did was express opinion and his personal feelings. Some of the most unprofessional reporting I have ever seen. Anyone with common sense and at least an elementary education could tell he was biased.

I lived a few years in that area. Winter are cold as FUCK. I really hope that someone actually starts thinking about the people that have nothing to do with this war.
No, I don't. I'm a Ukrainian by blood, my surrogate brother, Ivan Prikhod'ko, the Mayor of Gorlovka, is Ukrainian as well and we're both Rebels. Are you seriously trying to imply that every Ukrainian is or should be in bed with Zelensky and his Azov scum?
@@tatianalyulkin410 There are 2 sides the Ukrainian forces and the rebels. It should be pretty obvious that when a person is saying that the Ukrainians need better equipment they refer to the country.
Showing these videos to Western audience is a failure, they don't understand the specifics of this regions, hell, most people in the west can't locate their city on the map.
Well your are technically correct i mean to make an true documentary you needed to show the different perspectives of each side, i hope both Ukraine and Russia are at peace
I see here many comparison between Simon and Henry who one is better in reporting. Both are good and Henry significantly improved the but is one basic difference between them Simon understands more what is going on with political and historical point. Those people detect this so they try to tell a fairy tale to Henry. More reliably is Simon's reporting
i also think vice is doing a good job covering both sides of the war fairly and not bullshitting like fox news cnn rte sky news keep up the good work guys and girls
I hope people realize this situation has gone far beyond trying to figure out who is in the right and who is not. The important thing is that it stops.
I wish one side would win this war already. If these people in the east love Russia so much, why don't they move to Russia? Why create all this unrest?

Denis Maksimov It doesn't matter when it was released. Governments do not buy every weapon on the planet and they do not issue this weapon to their solders.
It seems to me like the Ukrainian leadership really doesn't want this to end, they don't supply their own troops with the proper equipment to wage a war and they don't seem like they are sending in support troops. The DNR does not look like they are only 1/2 commited they are all in and anything less by the Ukrain leadership is just sad and i feel sorry for the Ukrainian people who have a paper tiger leader like Poroshenko
The Kiev army has been shelling citizens indiscriminately, I won't even start by questioning where DNR/DPR got their weapons from because they have all the rights to get better equipments to DEFEND themselves against such an aggression. All I can say is go DPR/DNR! You are the true freedom fighters fighting for your ideology, beliefs, and the people!
@@dennisjohnson7779 It goes a lot deeper than that. Yesterday I found out that a Ukrainian movie studio made a movie about Simon Petlyura- the thing whose scum almost lynched my great grandfather and raped my grandmother. And Blinken, Nuland and Zelensky stood by and let it happen. There is no common ground between us. And even if Donbass falls, it's gonna change bubkes. End of story.
Since about the time of the Russian humanitarian aid convoi the rebels have been pushing back Ukrainian troops on most fronts. There were also up to three encirclements where a lot of Ukrainain troops and volunteer battalions were entrapped. Right up to the "ceasefire" it looked like the rebels were encircling Mariupol to take it from Ukraine.

Seps are winning. They basicaly decimated Ukrainian army South group during last counter offensive. and lay siege to the Mariupol. Captured almost whole border with Russia. Captured Lugansk airfield and pushed Ukrainian troops north to Schastie this basicaly eliminated any threat to Lugansk. There is site that count all armour and heavy equipment losses by both sides in this war only by photo/video proofs. With it can see how dire situation are for Ukrainian army. lostarmour.info

They are just about to suffer a full scale invasion by Russia proper. Not rebels but the actual army. I would say that is a terrible idea for anyone to go there, but if you have no idea of what is going on there I suggest you stay well clear.
Probably they bought on a Supermarket. Ask vice news, they had the opportunity to dig into the conflict, but I guess they just want to do the same footage over and over.
XxLadrxX Because the "separatists" took up arms first and started kidnapping random Ukrainians and even journalists, then started receiving military equipment from another country without any legit authority?

I think Vice saw all of the Pro-Russia people in the comments section of Simon Ostrovsky's videos and realised that since he was captured, it is difficult for him to report this story without favouring the Ukrainians. I say good on Vice's management for getting Henry Langsten to report from the Pro-Russia side, it generally keeps everybody happy.
If you're gonna support the Ukrainian Nazis, at least remove the Star of David from your " avatar ". You're giving a new meaning to the words " sick " and " disgusting ".
so i have watched all of the previous episodes of this, and i am speechless about the constant blaming of fascism and nazism the "seperatists" keep directing towards Kiev. what does this mean, where does it come from? not one single time are they asked about where this comes from? its like they dont see the greater picture at all, or either im missing some piece here..
In one of this videos Ukrainian soldiers had a flag with Natzi symbols on it. They are notorious for being sadists towards people . Murder and torture is their thing. That’s why. ! Also they parade in Kiev with tortures and Natzi swastika , not hiding their Natzi origin.

I am sorry, but I just don't understand the complaints from the people of the DNR. They complain about Poroshenko and ask why he is doing this if he loves Ukraine and its people. Do the people of the DNR even count as Ukrainians anymore seeing that they want to separate and eventually join Russia? I know shelling civvies is wrong, but how can you complain if you are with the other side. They are enemies of the rest of Ukraine but they still feel as if they should be treated as a Ukrainian. They should be treated as Russians seeing that is what they want to be. I hate to be a dick but I am just saying that they are sheer idiots if they think that the Ukrainian military will protect them when they choose to be on the side of the people that hate and fight with western Ukrainians.

Countries in Europe(like England) said to Germany(I'm using exaggeration) Wtf are you guys doin? Germany said the little population on that small land was mostly German and wanted to be w/ Germany. Germany did it about 2-3 more times w/ the same excuse, and then Blitzkrieg ed Poland, thus, starting WWll.
**On a side note** Rus has taken small portions of Georgia.
History is repeating itself.
Just what i was thinking.

who the hell told you that? have you actually seen how it looked like? you can look it up how it looked like before the US ''intervention''. same goes to afganistan
Sorry, but correction. Russia never took any part of Goorgia, there are a frozen conflict there and was since 1991 after USSR collapsed, two regions in Georgia declared independence, they were not recognized as USA didn't want it. So they still unrecognized regions, they are not a part of Russia neither Georgia.
5:24 that PPSH-41 . such a sexy looking gun.
Man seeing that old ukranian lady was heartbreaking
With out Vice I would have no idea any of this is happening. There is very little information about this in Sydney.
Good job Vice, cheers.
The civilians and separatists don't know this, but the shelling of their structures is an attrition technique...
The town is held by separatists. It gets shelled because of their presence.
The civilians are supposed to kick them out...
If you could stop your town from getting swathed by artillery by kicking out squatting vagrants, would you do it?
That is the plan...
But you see,seps keep everyone at gunpoint.Nobody wants to stand up.
Lisovp Awesomelisovp Right... I stand corrected...
Keston Hurd Seriously.The people of Donbass do not give a shit about which flag they're flying.They just want the military to leave.Unfortunately,they are being suppressed,scared into their cellars to hide from GRAD fire.
This war makes no sense. They should have had an official referendum organized by OSZE. Would have saved many lifes.
These areas who are inhabited by majority of russian natives are lost for ukraine.
There is no way that they will rule over this area again. The people who live there are against them.
Even if they retake the area under military control they will still be attacked by separatists from the underground backed by the majority of native russian people.
Russia is not officialy going into the terretory cause it doesnt want an escalation war in whole east europe. And they have no reason to take any territory that is not inhabited by majority of russian people.
Russia as the EU/US are liars and the loosers are the people who just want to live their daily life in freedom.
Interesting will be larger citys like Mariuopol who are 50/50 russian and ukrainian.
This provides much needed balance to the whole series... the other guy provides such unbalanced reporting. Thank you
collin ohlinger wait what? One of vices reporters where tortured by pro russians?
Simon unbalanced? He saw those people for what they really are. Torturing and kidnapping terrorists. And this guy is clearly is biased towards those thugs. Asks citizens implying it was ukranian shells. You don`t do that unless you are from RT. They can`t possibly know.
***** maybe his reports became balanced because he is afraid of getting kidnapped and tortured agAin, so he just plays along with the rebels ballox/rubbish talk. please open them eyes, good woman!

"In the future, we will go to Mariupol" - please remember what he says because right now there are no fights in Mariupol, nobody is getting killed there. The citizens of Mariupol see themseves as ukrainans and don't want to be part of DNR (Simon Ostrovsky showed it in previouse dispatches!)
Seriously? 😀😀😀
That’s insane she lived through ww2 and this one
I find it hilarious how Simon talked mad shit about Russia and got kidnapped. Now he hides behind the Ukrainian army watching them retreat while this reporter gets some real action.
He was detained, not kidnapped, he even lied to them in a video before telling how he was a reporter for a Moscow television. I would detain him also.
Simon got kidnapped not by "talking shit about Russia" He only spoke about what they'd done and said themseves.
Reporting and "talking shit" are 2 different things. It's not Simon's fault that the separatists kidnap and threaten to kill anyone who doesn't show them in a positive, biased light.
BiGKiDXavieR Holloman What he did was express opinion and his personal feelings. Some of the most unprofessional reporting I have ever seen. Anyone with common sense and at least an elementary education could tell he was biased.
SaproPhycs Derpy link to him lying about being from "Moscow television"? I have watched all dispatches as they came out and I can't remember this happening, he always said he worked for "Vice news, internet news agency".

Well your are technically correct i mean to make an true documentary you needed to show the different perspectives of each side, i hope both Ukraine and Russia are at peace
I had a nightmare that Michael Jackson was crawling up my leg.
I see here many comparison between Simon and Henry who one is better in reporting. Both are good and Henry significantly improved the but is one basic difference between them Simon understands more what is going on with political and historical point. Those people detect this so they try to tell a fairy tale to Henry. More reliably is Simon's reporting

The important thing is that it stops.

6:30 "Осетия". Osetians are proud of their presense. Russian modern granade launcher, rebel group leader with WW2 machine gun, rocket shelling few meters near british journalist. 13:22 "За Ростов", "For Rostov" (russian city) on the medal, "Вежливые люди" ("Polite people") on T-shirt, it's russian paramilitary organization.
5:50 While i dont know that guys background, or the things he may have done. He seems kind, and is at least trying to get things organized (we hope) to repair the infrastructure! but then at 6:28 im pretty sure thats a BS story! people against tanks.... not so much! 7:24 id be afraid of being buried alive if that building collapsed from being shelled (even more), thats not really a true basement......

Bless these people and bring them peace.
6:30 the word "Osetia" is written in the wall. So cute that after 6 year russians still remember what they did in Georgia
They defended the people who didn't want to be apart of Georgia. The Georgian gov should've respected the people's rights of choice of independence or joining another country.
Is that an incoming shell in the top left corner at 2:00?
It't a glare on a window. 2:10 you can see it again.
My heart breaks seeing all those innocent people suffer.I'd never thought brother would go against brother in Ukraine
3:20 totally not worrying flag you got there. I am sure Europe is sleeping easier seeing that flag.
12:40 look at the nice and new russian army truck :D
Don't tell me that artillery hit 150 feet away. It was close, but not that close.
13:13 "There are no Russians here," Meanwhile, there is a brand new cargo truck with an obvious Russian flag on it sitting right there in the background. SMH...
Russian flag is white, blue, red !!!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Russia
Ukraine have recently bought a pile of these trucks from Russia, but part of ukranian troops captured and I think they went to DNR :)
Denis Maksimov
it s the white truck with aid from ruSSia, after rainning white colors fall
I can't understand the point of view of pro russians.
Why they should go to Mariupol?
Mariupol don't want to be a part of Russia or DNR.
This video will make you think about current events!
What kind of weapon is at 5:55 ? I want to know what kind of model that is.
Its AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher.
AGS-17 is manufactured in Russia by the Molot Engineering Plant JSC, as well asin China by state factories and in Serbia (former Yugoslavia).
Source: world.guns.ru/grenade/rus/ags-17-e.html
AGS-17 is used by Russia and not Ukraine.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGS-17
wwwelkam AGS-17 was first released in 1972 and Ukraine don't have it?
Denis Maksimov It doesn't matter when it was released. Governments do not buy every weapon on the planet and they do not issue this weapon to their solders.
It seems to me like the Ukrainian leadership really doesn't want this to end, they don't supply their own troops with the proper equipment to wage a war and they don't seem like they are sending in support troops. The DNR does not look like they are only 1/2 commited they are all in and anything less by the Ukrain leadership is just sad and i feel sorry for the Ukrainian people who have a paper tiger leader like Poroshenko
I am a little confused on what is going on overall with this conflict. Can someone please explain what is happening?
The Kiev army has been shelling citizens indiscriminately, I won't even start by questioning where DNR/DPR got their weapons from because they have all the rights to get better equipments to DEFEND themselves against such an aggression. All I can say is go DPR/DNR! You are the true freedom fighters fighting for your ideology, beliefs, and the people!
Thank you my dearest. Sinn Fein! 😀
Dpr/dnr are just buffer states between eu and Russia lad yall getting played
@@dennisjohnson7779 It goes a lot deeper than that. Yesterday I found out that a Ukrainian movie studio made a movie about Simon Petlyura- the thing whose scum almost lynched my great grandfather and raped my grandmother. And Blinken, Nuland and Zelensky stood by and let it happen. There is no common ground between us. And even if Donbass falls, it's gonna change bubkes. End of story.
If it was 60 yards you are dead and they’re aiming for you.
Does anyone know who is technically winning the war right now? Hard facts please. I'm very curious about what is going on.
Since about the time of the Russian humanitarian aid convoi the rebels have been pushing back Ukrainian troops on most fronts. There were also up to three encirclements where a lot of Ukrainain troops and volunteer battalions were entrapped. Right up to the "ceasefire" it looked like the rebels were encircling Mariupol to take it from Ukraine.
Suyamu
Thanks for the info.
Prepping Teen I'd say it's a stalemate, neither side is winning and it's just a bit of a mess really. And *****, how's about you go have a bit of bum fun with your bald midget president?
Seps are winning. They basicaly decimated Ukrainian army South group during last counter offensive. and lay siege to the Mariupol. Captured almost whole border with Russia. Captured Lugansk airfield and pushed Ukrainian troops north to Schastie this basicaly eliminated any threat to Lugansk.
There is site that count all armour and heavy equipment losses by both sides in this war only by photo/video proofs. With it can see how dire situation are for Ukrainian army.
lostarmour.info
In Easter Ukraine, Russian (ahem) Pro-Russian forces, of course. Russian army has now officially entered Ukraine and helping the pro-Russians advance
9:00 who were these people, what happened to them?
At 1:46 is that a Russian Flag on that tank?
1:28 They are mercenaries, they fight for money.
8:52 Unless Putin takes everything into his hands, nothing is going to happen.
It's all the local people say
Bet J 8:52 it just means that Putin doesn't do anything yet.

What I hate the most about this series is that every time Ukrainians or Russians speak they chose what to translate and what literally not to write subtitles for as if she didn’t say anything or said something completely different with their intonation, it’s pretty blunt bias.

This guy and his team, as well as your other Ukraine correspondent deserve a serious pay rise and some recognition within the journalistic community, their bravery is amazing.
That artillery wasn't 50 yards away, get your depth perception checked! You would have been hit with shrapnel. They were dropping way off,
I like how they use soviet symbols in their flags, that are basically same as a swastika :)). Lets hope we see those flags burning.

Ask vice news, they had the opportunity to dig into the conflict, but I guess they just want to do the same footage over and over.
Looks like AGS - 17
Hubert Walter AGS-17. A weapon that was never used by the ukrainian military. But surely the separatists just 'found' it.
for some strange reason putin doesn't want the ukraine to join nato i wonder why ....

DPR are the separatists?
***** More like "Donetsk People's Republic".
Yes they are. Just like Scotland seems to be.
***** Oh you see the difference now huh. Then why is it justified to kill everyone who is for seperation in Ukraine?
If Ukraine does get to retain all of the territory controlled by DPR, there will never be peace, because DPR will become like the IRA.
XxLadrxX Because the "separatists" took up arms first and started kidnapping random Ukrainians and even journalists, then started receiving military equipment from another country without any legit authority? That was a pretty stupid question.

I think Vice saw all of the Pro-Russia people in the comments section of Simon Ostrovsky's videos and realised that since he was captured, it is difficult for him to report this story without favouring the Ukrainians. I say good on Vice's management for getting Henry Langsten to report from the Pro-Russia side, it generally keeps everybody happy.
Vice should be on Netflix!

so i have watched all of the previous episodes of this, and i am speechless about the constant blaming of fascism and nazism the "seperatists" keep directing towards Kiev. what does this mean, where does it come from? not one single time are they asked about where this comes from? its like they dont see the greater picture at all, or either im missing some piece here..
Search up the azov battalions -
In one of this videos Ukrainian soldiers had a flag with Natzi symbols on it. They are notorious for being sadists towards people . Murder and torture is their thing. That’s why. ! Also they parade in Kiev with tortures and Natzi swastika , not hiding their Natzi origin.

I know shelling civvies is wrong, but how can you complain if you are with the other side. They are enemies of the rest of Ukraine but they still feel as if they should be treated as a Ukrainian. They should be treated as Russians seeing that is what they want to be.
