The virtual wife of the Japanese man stopped talking to him. The real drama came as her love ended with software support. Despite the setback, Akihiko will not leave his wife and look for a real girl. Instead, he carries a life-size copy of her with him: ‘My love for Miku has not changed. I arranged the wedding ceremony because I thought I could be with her forever’.

Akihiko fell in love with Mika in 2008, and almost ten years later, a device for communicating with virtual characters appeared on the market. Akihiko bought it for $2,700 and got married. But relatives didn’t understand. His mother wishes Akihiko would marry a real girl.

See the story of Akihiko Kondo and his virtual wife in the film I Married a Hologram.

‘Zelensky is a puppet and a very stupid one, I would add. And it’s obvious he’s taking the Ukrainian people down the road of suicide’. Former US Army Officer and Counterterrorism Analyst Scott Bennett says the Ukrainian government is being led by the United States, and President Zelensky was chosen as less competent and easily manageable.

He also says provocation from NATO countries is a ‘bluff because one thing this conflict has revealed is that NATO and the Western countries are incapable of fighting a land war against the professional Russian army’. According to the expert, the only war they can make is informational as they’re afraid of direct conflict with Russia.

The methods and why the United States and NATO are waging an information war against Russia are described in our film Russians Cancelled.

‘Thanks to your entire team, my mum is now with me in the warm’. These are the words of Viktoria Forkavets. Our film crew helped her find her mother, Natalya Angeleva. Natalya is a mother-heroine, she has five children, and Viktoria is the second.

Viktoria couldn’t contact her mother for almost a month. She only knew mum was in Volnovakha, with no water, food, light or gas. She didn’t even know if she was alive. Finally, Viktoria turned to RT Documentary for help. We managed to arrange their meeting. There were many tears and hugs. Natalya, like other residents, hid in the basement. She said the Ukrainian authorities reported no humanitarian corridors.

The girl took her mother home to Khartsyzsk. And she can hug her grandchildren again. The story of Viktoria and her mother, Natalia, is included in the film Donbass: Under Fire. It has stories of relatives who found each other and those who reunite families, risking their lives.

‘These are the textbooks the children were taught by. Shelling again. Here are the textbooks they studied with. They are all in Ukrainian. There is nothing in Russian anymore, only in Ukrainian. They have rewritten Ukrainian history’.

An Italian volunteer with the callsign Spartak showed the school destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukrainiane. According to him, the Ukrainian soldiers used the local Russian-speaking population as a human shield: ‘They said to them: ‘Stay in cellars and be still’. They didn’t give them any water, the people weren’t allowed to go out for food or something to drink’.

The man has been fighting for the Donbass for eight years. He sais, that Ukrainian nationalist battalions ‘don’t give a damn about the local residents’.

The story of this Italian will be included in the new RT Documentary film about foreign volunteers in the Donbass.

‘My opinion on the abolition of culture is straightforward. I think this decision is not only unfair, it’s crazy,’ says Enzo Ginazzi, a well-known Italian singer known as Pupo. He is loved in Russia by the older generation.

Since the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia has faced unprecedented pressure from the West. In addition to official sanctions, a potent weapon was used against an entire country - the culture of cancellation for the first time.

Everything created in Russia for more than 1,500 years is not only being questioned but also harshly criticised and rejected.

This is a promo for the film Killing Russian Culture. The entire show is posted here. It is also available in English.

‘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.

“A chicken, the blood and everything, you have to swallow the liver of the chicken. It’s part of the process. You come into Europe, you don’t have a choice, you don’t have a say. It’s obligated, you have to do it.” A former sex slave from Nigeria tells how she, afraid of the voodoo curse, preferred not to testify against her former masters.

When a major human trafficking case was uncovered in Europe, ex-slaves who were forced into prostitution refused to testify. An African priest had to save the girls from the curse.

To learn more see our video and film Voodoo, Money and Sex Slaves.

‘We’ve been hiding in the cellar this whole time. There’s an old lady with a walker there and one with crutches here’. In 2014, a woman hurriedly told an RT Documentary film crew she was only going for humanitarian aid. Then in the Donetsk region, there were battles for the city of Ilovaisk.

#video #Mariupol

A resident of Mariupol alleges the Azov* Battalion pulled people out of their houses and ushered them into basements. Tanks started firing from everywhere, and no one could lift their head out for four days. He says, ‘the Russians were not even close at the time. This is murder, murder of people. This was done by Azov*. He claims the Ukrainian military herded everyone into the basement.

In the destroyed Mariupol, civilians are left without food, water, or medicines. During the shelling, food was brought to them by the Angel humanitarian group led by Alexei Smirnov. They go to the most dangerous places, often narrowly avoiding death on mined roads. An RT Documentary crew filmed the Angels for several days, once coming under fire.

This is a clip from our new film Donbass: I'm Alive! The RT Documentary team has returned from Mariupol and collected locals' testimonies.

Instead of musical instruments, he took up arms. A hero of his city of Donetsk and our post, Viktor Petenko, worked in the local philharmonic. But in February, when mobilisation began, the man and many of his colleagues were drafted. After a month of training, they fought street battles for Mariupol.

Now the city is returning to civilian life. Viktor showed a RT Documentary crew the streets and buildings where he fought Ukrainian soldiers. There was a piano in one of the destroyed houses. The musician couldn’t get past it and played it for us.

Viktor Petenko is one of the protagonists of our new film about artists who defended Donbass with weapons.

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari says the armed gangs that kidnapped passengers on a train in Kaduna used them as human shields. The governor of Kaduna state suggests the attack could be the result of a partnership between Boko Haram and other Nigerian kidnap gangs. At the end of April, one of the abducted women gave birth in captivity. According to the Nigerian Railway Corporation, more than 150 people are still missing.

Armed gangs have been terrorising Nigeria for years. Boko Haram is one of the world’s deadliest terrorist groups. Some Nigerians can’t stand aside while kidnapping, rapes, and killings happen. For example, Aisha leads a vigilante group that helps government forces fight terrorists. She’s called the ‘queen’ of Boko Haram hunters.

Watch our clip and the documentary Hunting Boko Haram about fighting terrorism in Nigeria.
