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.

‘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.

‘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.

‘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.

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

‘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.

The Ukrainian situation reminds him of the collapse of his native Yugoslavia: ‘civilians started an uprising. They did not want to be with them [nationalists], as we did in 1999’.
At an abandoned Ukrainian position, Bojan saw NATO weapons. The Serbian volunteer recalls how NATO troops invaded his country and turned it into ruins.
