#video #Mariupol

‘When two shells flew into our yard, my husband immediately said: ‘Ukraine’. That’s where they were sitting, and it flew in from there... A Ukrainian tank was standing on the street’, says a refugee from Mariupol.

Her husband was seriously wounded: they removed his spleen and a rib. When they arrived at the hospital, there was ‘no water, nothing’. The woman says that doctors and nurses cried because they could not help the seriously injured. Now she, like many other refugees, has found temporary shelter in the village of Bezymennoe.

Their stories will be featured in a new RT Documentary film.

‘When you help people, they don’t just need the food you bring for them to survive. More than that, they need hope that they’re not forgotten.’

Volunteer Andrey Lysenko has been helping residents of Donbass for eight years. Every day he brings food and medicine to the war zone under shelling. He is welcomed as one of their own and told by the people what they went through: ‘’The Azov’*! I don’t know how many there were, but Azov* took 250 of ours. Ordinary people. They lined them up, then followed and shot at them from the ground floors.’

Watch Andrey’s story in our video and our premiere ‘Donbass Under Fire’.

Basra is Iraq’s second city and used to be known as the Venice of the East. Now drinking water has to be pumped into the city.

The two great Middle East rivers that converge on Basra are now suffering from water pollution due to Saddam Hussein’s vendetta. The non-profit organisation Nature Iraq is trying to revive the rivers.
Watch what Basra became due to water pollution in the video.

Alexis uses the callsign Alfonso and has been fighting on the side of the DPR for the last eight years. He is originally from Colombia but lived in Spain from 10. He participated in the anti-fascist movement there.

Alexis accompanied the RT Documentary film crew to the Ilyich plant. He found NATO ammunition, German licence plates, and a Spanish grenade launcher. Alexis wants the Spaniards to know that their country supplies weapons to the Nazis.

During filming, a ginger cat suddenly ran out, hungry and dirty. He didn’t move a single step. And then he jumped into the car and refused to get out of it. He was given a name - Marik, in honour of Mariupol, where he was found.

In one of the houses where the journalists came to look for a friend of the Spanish intelligence officer, the cat decided to stay. The hostess did not chase him away. Alexis’s story will be part of a new RT Documentary film.

#video #Mariupol

‘The only people they [Mariupol residents] don’t blame is Russia because to them, Russia is coming, and they have saved these people.’ John Dougan, a former US police officer, conveys what residents of Mariupol told him. He went to the war zone because he didn’t believe the Western media: ‘The story that was being reported in the Western media was not the story that the people were living in Ukraine.’

Residents heard John speaking English, approached him, and asked to relay their messages to the world: ‘From the beginning of the war, I wanted the whole world to know that the way they protected us is not protection. They were hiding behind our backs. They just simply destroyed us.’

John is now actively blogging about his trips to Donbass. He hopes as many people as possible around the world will find out the truth about the situation. Want to know more about John Dougan? Watch our documentary about him 'Breaking Bad Wolf' right now.

#video #NATO

‘And I also think that the average American confuse NATO as this harmless defensive alliance that America underpin with its military might and economic strength. They don’t view NATO as a threat because they are part of NATO’. Military analyst Scott Ritter spoke about the attitude of the Americans towards the special operation and the position of the US authorities.

According to him, Americans are not aware of NATO's goals of expanding and undermining Russia and believe ‘the Ukrainian government’s version, of instead, they’re an innocent country that’s been attacked by its large brutal neighbour’.

But as information would come out, it’s going to be ‘a rude wake-up call to Americans to find out that the Nazi ideology was real. It was there. It was pervasive’.

‘Oksana, it’s all right. I’m staying for now. Moreover, I adopted my family here. I’m alive and well. Everything is fine. If it works, then tell your mother that everything is in order’. Alexander Komarov from Mariupol wrote down these words for his sister in the Moscow region, who asked to take her brother out of the ruined city. They searched for him for a long time. In one of the courtyards, they suggested a grave in a neighbouring front garden was his. But there was another name on the cross.

There was little time as the volunteer humanitarian convoy was about to leave. The address was searched for around Nikopolskaya Street, not far from the Ilyich metallurgical plant where fighting had recently taken place. The convoy decided to check another address and found Alexander. He said he let a family with a wounded child stay with him as their house burned down. He refused to leave people and evacuate.

Have you ever heard about brickyard slavery in Bangladesh?

Nearly a million people work twelve hours a day, six days a week, deprived of fundamental human rights and subject to inhuman torture. Yet, from dusk till dawn, they produce bricks for the booming construction industry without the hope of building a house of their own.

Watch our documentary 'Brick Slaves' right now.

#video #Spain

‘This is a weapon for war. The Spanish state will not achieve peace by sending this kind of thing.’ Colombian volunteer Alexis shows the weapons left at the Illich plant, where more than 1,300 Ukrainian army marines surrendered. Alexis wants Spaniards to know their country supplies arms to the Nazis. Alexis has been fighting on the side of the DNR for the past eight years.

The volunteer is originally from Colombia but has lived in Spain since ten years old. Before he moved to Donbass, he led an anti-fascist movement there. And in 2014, he decided to come to the DNR and defend the civilians ‘from all the madness’.

Alexis’ story will be part of a new RT Documentary film.

#video #Donbass

‘What are they doing? Making a human shield! They hide behind old men! Idiots! Damned Ukraine! It makes me so angry!’

‘The Azov*! I don’t know how many there were, but Azov* took 250 of ours. Ordinary people. They lined them up, then followed and shot at them from the ground floors.’

People of Donbass talk about how Ukrainian soldiers fought, how they were hiding among civilians, shot them and hid from tanks in residential buildings. See more about this in an excerpt from the film Donbass Under Fire. Also available in Russian.

‘We haven’t had any bread in a month. No water’, says a resident of Mariupol during the distribution of humanitarian aid. A huge queue lined up for the vehicle that brought the products.

People talk about spending days in the basements, where the Azov* Battalion drove them. They could not get out. There were snipers in the houses shooting at civilians. Now Mariupol residents cannot contain their emotions: ‘It was a murder, a murder, a straight-out murder of people. Genocide!’.

The stories of these people will be included in the new RT Documentary film Donbass: I'm Alive! In the meantime, watch ‘Donbass War: Airport. Part 2’. In it, residents of Donbass shared their memories and told how they had to hide from shelling and about the struggle for the Donetsk airport.

The Russian Ministry of Defense published footage of the combat work of the Iskander operational-tactical missile systems. As part of the special military operation, high-precision missiles were launched at the important military infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Iskander crews got the intelligence data and operatively got the position to make the launch. After that, the position was changed and the missile system was disguised.

One tradition from Java allows young boys to be legally exploited by much older men. The boys are called Gemblaks. Their old masters are known as Waroks.

Waroks are revered shaman-like figures who are believed to have magical powers. Their gift comes at a price - they can’t be involved with women since they can strip them of their abilities. But Waroks can ‘rent out’ young boys.

Young servants help their Waroks around the house, assist in rituals, … and more. Since children are expected to show unquestioning obedience, they are often told to sleep with their masters. Pak Dirman used to serve a Warok, when he was little.

Hear his story and learn more about this ancient tradition in the full documentary on @documentaryplanet

‘Suddenly I heard they commenced bombarding the airport. Of course, I was so frightened! So much! I dropped the hose, I dropped it all! I run for my life. Didn’t think about anything’.

In 2014, Abbess Mikhail (Shevchenko) and her assistant Yulia suddenly found themselves in the centre of the battles for Donetsk airport. The militias fought Ukrainian forces, which had seized control. The main characters talk about their lives under shelling. So why didn't they leave the monastery? What tests awaited them? See the post.
 
These shots are from the film Portaitissa of Donetsk, directed by Natalya Batraeva, who submitted it to the aRTel.doc dokkino competition. The entire movie has been uploaded to our telegram channel. Watch the full film here.

‘In all the hospitals… all the vehicles were taken away, and only the ammunition was taken out’. Aleksandr, an employee of a medical institution in Mariupol, said ambulances and food trucks were loaded with shells by the Ukrainian military, and ‘children’ or ‘people’ were written on the vehicles.

In addition, they confiscated personal vehicles from the city’s residents. ‘We arrived, instructed the driver, get out of the car’, the man recalls.

How the fighting began in the south-east of Ukraine can be seen in our film Donbass: Battle of Debaltsevo. The film tells about the events of the Donbass war that took place in Debaltsevo. This critical strategic point became the centre of fierce fighting between the militias and government troops.
