#video #Donbass

‘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 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.

‘I’m from the Republic of Serbia, the city of Šabac. I came here in January 2015, when I knew a civil war against nationalists was starting here’. Serb Bojan Dzhaferovich, with the callsign Jaeger, had been fighting for Donbass for seven years.

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.

Bolivia has unusual battles – women dressed in heavy, multi-layered skirts fight each other. They’re known as Cholitas, and they pride themselves on looking their best in the ring. Outside the ring, they’re regular women: wives, mothers, business owners and even schoolgirls.

But fighting is another social empowerment of indigenous women. Watch our the video to learn why women take part in such fights.

A woman hiding with her family in the Intercession Church in Mariupol recalls how the Ukrainian military did not allow a church sexton to call for medical help and herded people back into the basement. When they arrived, Ukrainian troops were there.

The woman showed the RT Documentary film crew how they live now: ‘We are afraid to leave the temple because the walls are about a metre thick. It's safe here’. These shots will be included in the new RT Documentary film about foreign volunteers who went to defend Donbass.

A love wedding in India can be deadly. Parents forbid taking a member of another caste as a wife. Here it is considered a disgrace. And if you disobey, they can kill you. In our post - the story of a girl whose lover lost his life for forbidden love. She herself was injured. The attackers were not even stopped by the fact that at that moment the girl was eight months pregnant.

In 1955, the Indian Parliament had already passed a law prohibiting discrimination based on caste. However, the locals still adhere to the ‘law of honor’. Those who violated it are forced to hide from the closest people. Watch the film Love Commandos.

‘I regret nothing’ (Non, je ne regrette rien). This line is from an Edith Piaf song which has become the manifesto of French volunteer François Mauld d’Aymée. He came to Donbass from Champagne in 2015. At home, he studied at the military academy. He says the LPR and DPR people are defending their land, so he took their side and joined the international Pyatnashka brigade.

The Frenchman served in Pyatnashka for six months and then stayed in Donetsk, teaching French and singing with the Donetsk Philharmonic. After that, he recorded a video for the song ‘Non, je ne regrette rien’ in October 2021.

In February 2022, François returned to action. Mobilization began in the Donbass, and many of his colleagues from the Philharmonic were called up. Now he is in positions near the Azovstal plant.

François Mauld d’Aymée is one of the characters in our future film about volunteers from different countries who came to protect the people of Donbass.

“I hear before from Azov*, like prisoners, who I speak with, they tell me if they wanted to surrender or desert, like, Azov would shoot them.” A British mercenary from the Ukrainian military tells about Azov militants’ treatment of prisoners.

Aiden Eslin came to Ukraine four years ago and served in the Ukrainian army. When the Russian special military operation in Ukraine began, Aiden was in Mariupol. Surrounded by Russian troops, he surrendered.

In an exclusive interview with RT Documentary, he admits he decided to fight on the Ukrainian side because he was confused.

‘First and foremost, they appealed to schoolchildren, who are still open-minded and susceptible to all kinds of things. For them, they drew parallels between SS death squads and Soviet liberators and defenders’.
Military historian Nikita Buranov talks about what children are taught in Ukraine. They are given shell casings that killed their compatriots in the Donbass as souvenirs.

In Ukraine, children are taught history differently. Schoolchildren are introduced to the biography of the national hero Bandera. He is one of the founders of the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army). During the Great Patriotic War, about 100,000 civilians and 15,000 Soviet soldiers were its victims.

In our post - a video from Ukrainian children’s camps. Teenagers there learn the ‘real’ truth. This is a clip from the film Fast Forward to Fascism.
