Who are the Americans who volunteer to fight for Ukraine?
RT correspondent Konstantin Rozhkov @spetscorr knows one of them personally.
In 2020, Konstantin met Michael Dunn, one of the leaders of the Boogaloo Boys. Michael is currently in Ukraine as part of a foreign legion. In his videos on TikTok, he proclaims ‘Slava Ukraine’.
The Boogaloo Boys is commonly considered a far-right white supremacy group. Although members deny these claims, saying they are just gun rights activists.
‘Michael Dunn is in his early 20s. He served in the US Marine Corps, but he was never in battle. During our interview, he posed with an M-15 rifle and said he would shoot anyone, including government officials if needed.
Even though Washington officially opposes US citizens fight for Ukraine as volunteers, it’s unlikely they’ll get upset if Michael and other radical activists don’t come back’, Konstantin writes.

Kenny Richey spent 21 and a half years waiting for the electric chair on death row. He was convicted of the murder by arson of a 2-year-old girl. Richey survived 13 execution dates, with one reprieve coming just an hour before his scheduled execution. He always maintained his innocence, and many human rights campaigners drew attention to Kenny’s case.
Some of the evidence in the investigation was eventually proven to be false, and Richey was released after accepting a plea deal.
However, not everyone was convinced of his innocence on Kenny’s release. His wife Karen claims the ex-con confessed to her he committed the crime.

At least 3,000 people were used as guinea pigs by Japan’s secret Unit 731 before and during World War II. The unit conducted gruesome experiments on humans in occupied China, infecting test subjects with diseases like plague and cholera. They were later vivisected without anaesthesia to see what the disease does.
Unit 731 was one of Japan’s biggest wartime atrocities and secrets. The Japanese government denied the unit’s existence until the late 1980s, while the unit’s ideologist, Shiro Ishii, was never punished.

Poverty and few jobs drive young men in Kenya to provide sex to older European women who come to the country on vacation.
Poor education is one of the reasons why young boys are easily dragged into prostitution. They haven’t the qualifications to get a decent job. Some boys claim they were underaged when these older women from Germany, Switzerland, and other countries approached them for sex.
Like young girls who also fall victims to sex tourists, the boys soon grow up and stop being “eligible” for the job. So they try to get as much as they can while it is still possible.
The nonprofits and volunteers who work in Kenya are doing their best to educate children by building schools. This is the only way to ensure they will have a future and change their way of thinking.

“Thanks to your crew, my mommy is now with me and warm. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. Once again, thank you very much,” Victoria Forkavets says in a message to RT Documentary. Our film crew helped her find her mother Natalya Angeleva.
Vika couldn’t contact her mother for almost a month. She only knew she was in Volnovakha, with no water, food, or power. She didn’t even know if her mother was alive. Finally, Victoria turned to us for help.
“We did what we could. And now Natalya Alexandrovna is alive,” - said our correspondent Vyacheslav Guz. From Volnovakha to Khartsyzsk, they chatted about the recent battles, marauders, and the cold.
Like other locals, Natalya had been hiding in a basement. She says there were no humanitarian corridors, no information from the Ukrainian authorities.
The story of Viktoria and her mother Natalya has become part of a film, shot by director Oleg Nekishev, correspondent Vyacheslav Guz and cameraman Vladimir Lipatov.

“If President Putin wanted to go in with bombs, it would be like America does,” says Mark Dougan, a former US Marine and police officer. He went as a journalist to Ukraine to see the progress of the special operation. His point of view is in the video; check it out.
Want to know his story? As a police officer, Dougan investigated the crimes of his colleagues and tried to bring them to justice. He even created a website where people could report police brutality. But according to Dougan, former colleagues started planning to kill him. That’s why he left the country. Our documentary ‘Breaking Bad Wolf’ is about it.

Shortly after Russia's military operation in Ukraine began, many Russians abroad felt a surge of Russophobia, from politicians to ordinary people on the street. Most Western countries deem discrimination unacceptable, and even illegal, when it comes to Russians, this no longer seems a given.
Some Russians say they are being fired from their jobs just because of their nationality, denied apartment rentals and even having bank accounts closed.
When it comes to social media, verbal abuse and bullying levels are unprecedented. Russian immigrants say they try to abstain from commenting on Facebook. “I’ve been getting various threatening messages on my phone recently. Most are along the lines ‘get out of here, a dead Russian is the best Russian,’” says one Russian woman who lives in Iceland.
Experts say this wave of harassment will eventually subside, but before it does, Russians should steer clear of social media and report physical threats to the police.

Operation Allied Force launched 2,300 missiles and dropped 14,000 bombs. Collateral damage included schools, libraries, hospitals and homes. The alliance blamed Belgrade for ‘excessive and disproportionate use of force’ in a conflict with an ethnic Albanian insurgency in Kosovo.

Texas would be the world's 40th largest country if it was still an independent state. Yes, still. For a nine-year period between 1836 and 1845, Texas was an independent country. But some Texans, or Texians as they call themselves, claim their country never lost its sovereignty.
These separatists believe the United States’ annexation of Texas was illegal. The activists run their own government and have their own currency system.
