This bridge with explosives leads to the town of Schastia across the Seversky Donets River. Ukrainian forces blew it up. Explosives remain on some of the towers. So, people are now forced to cross the river using boats and temporary structures.
Damaged Ukrainian tanks, American-made Javelin anti-tank missiles and abandoned positions were seen on the roads near Schastia. The LNR took control of the town as the Ukrainian troops retreated.
To learn more about the root of the conflict, watch our film: Donbass. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. It takes a look back at events that unfolded before the start of the crisis in 2014.

Windie Lazenko is a survivor of sex trafficking. As a teenage runaway, she was sold for sex. Now in her 50s, she advocates for victims across the US.
When North Dakota’s oil boom led to the sudden influx of men and a huge demand for prostitutes, Windie travelled to the city of Williston. At some point, men outnumbered women by as many as 20 to one. Women couldn’t walk into a supermarket without being propositioned.
Windie founded her organisation to help trafficking victims. This is a fragment of her interview from our documentary, Sex and the Oil City. She recalls her thorny path before she started helping other women.

In the run-up to the 2020 presidential election in the USA, protests featuring armed activists rocked the USA. This led to an unprecedented level of civil unrest, with heavily armed groups roaming the cities and threatening to use force to defend their political positions.
Some of these belonged to the Bugaloo Boys, a group of activists committed to some kind of American ‘Revolution’. Mike Dunn was one of them.
Why do you think the police helped Mike with his protest?

When the Ukrainian government forces were tasked to subdue the rebellious region of Donbass in the summer of 2014, Debaltsevo became a central strategic point. The highway through Debaltsevo was the quickest route to drive from Lugansk to Donetsk. That meant taking over this city would cut the rebellious regions off from each other and create a gap, where there would always be a threat of having Ukrainian troops ready for a breakthrough. This is why gaining control over Debaltsevo was strategically important to both sides. The militia defended the area, desperately trying to maintain a link between the two rebel capitals.
To follow the course of the events, tune in for Donbass: Battle of Debaltsevo.

‘He died like a hero, just before the victory. But his feat hastened it,’ head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin wrote about the death of Vladimir Zhoga, nicknamed Vokha.
The commander of the Sparta battalion and successor of Arsen Pavlov (Motorola) was killed on Saturday. He died in a battle in the town of Volnovakha, DPR.
‘He was fatally injured while ensuring the exit of civilians from the town. Sparta men were providing a cover for the evacuation of civilians, mostly women and children. Nationalists opened fire at them,’ Pushilin wrote.
Vladimir Zhoga will be posthumously awarded the noscript of the hero of the Donetsk Republic.
He is featured in our documentary, Donbass War: Airport. Part 1 and Part 2 are available on our YouTube channel and Odysee https://odysee.com/@RTDocumentary:4

Racism and the Great Depression in the 1930s drove hundreds of African Americans away from the United States. The Soviet Union looked like an attractive option, given its socialist ideology of social equality and absence of racial prejudice. They had nothing to lose at home: a lack of prospects and restrictions separated them from society.
Many African Americans have amazing stories about relocating to the USSR and making good there. Their children and grandchildren grew up in Russia, considering it their home.

Max from Mexico has been growing drugs since early childhood. Like many other drug dealers, he lives in Sinaloa state. Locals who don’t grow drugs live in extreme poverty, as there is almost nothing else to do to earn a living. At the same time, those who produce live high.
The state of things doesn’t change for decades. Drugs are the most profitable business here and the riskiest as well. But Max has a dream and keeps growing weed.

Aleksey Maresyev was a Soviet pilot during World War II. He was shot down in April 1942. His plane crashed in a forest, but Maresyev miraculously survived. Bleeding from wounds, it took him 18 days to reach safety in the nearest village of Plavni.
By the time he was taken to hospital, his injuries were so bad - both his legs had to be amputated. Nevertheless, Maresyev learned to use his prosthetic legs and returned to combat. The legendary pilot completed 86 combat flights and downed 11 Nazi planes.

The debate over gun control in the United States is sparked time and again after each mass shooting, but in the end, a solution is never reached.
For some, guns will always be a threat no matter what they are used for, while others are convinced the only way to teach gun safety is being around a gun. However, government attempts to restrict gun possession are viewed as clamping down on fundamental rights.
How can the government control a feature of American life that has historically kept that very government in check? And what lessons can be learned to prevent future tragedies from happening?

Half of our lives are spent online sending email and reading electronic media. No wonder social networks are gaining more and more power over people and becoming significant decision-makers. Some might say they even outrank governments. In a digital world, being banned from a social network means social isolation and can cause serious reputational, if not health damage.
At the same time, Section 230 leaves the social networks invincible, as they are not held accountable for things posted. Yet, the three internet giants, YouTube, Google and Facebook, make their own choices about what news people see. Are they ready to open up about their censorship algorithms and consider wisely using the power section 230 gives them?

“Do me a favour, go and look at the dead. My husband went to the shop, and he’s missing.”
Our documentary filmmaker Vyacheslav Guz was filming the aftermath of a bus explosion in Donetsk when an elderly woman approached him. Unfortunately, investigators would not allow her to see the corpses.
Here’s what Vyacheslav told us: “She said to me: ‘Son, can you go through there?’ - I can, I said. – ‘Do me a favour, go and look at the dead. My husband went to the shop, and he’s not still returned. I’m afraid he’s among the dead. I’ll call him now. And you listen, if there will be a phone call.’I went to the bodies. One of them had a phone ringing in his trousers...”
