‘A shell flew in. There was a Ukranian tank over there. It drove in between the fir trees and fired directly at Volnovakha’s centre. It was the Nazis’.

This is the story of Svetlana Mursalova, a resident of Volnovakha. People had to hide from Ukrainian bombing in basement, there was neither light nor water. ‘Well, in short, it’s scary. But we’ll manage somehow’- residents say. 

Volunteers help those who are left without water, light and heat. One of them is blogger Andrey Lysenko. He buys everything he needs with money from subscribers. Watch the film Donbass Under Fire.

Christina Kosach survived Auschwitz. She ended up at the extermination with her family and saw her sister and mother-in-law lead to their death. ‘Everybody lined up in front of the crematorium. They counted along the line: burn 5, leave the 6th alive…burn 5, leave the 6th alive,’ her granddaughter told RT Documentary in the film Immortal Letters.

Auschwitz was the largest extermination camp run by the Nazis in World War II. According to some estimates, up to four million people died there. In the extermination camp, people were sent to their death in gas chambers; hundreds of thousands were worked to death with little food and clothing in the concentration camp.

In the film Immortal Letters, Christina’s story and others are told in personal archives, letters, and photographs from the time.

‘Food by thy medicine, medicine by thy food’.

This is the slogan that tens of thousands of people take to the streets of Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital, every day. The protest demanded the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. With a population of 22 million, the island state is facing a severe economic and political crisis. As a result, people are suffering food shortages, rising unemployment and shortages of medicine.

Experts say the sanctions imposed by Sri Lanka against Russia have dealt the final blow to the country’s economy. The impact of the pandemic has also adversely affected the country’s financial situation. As a result, experts suggest the country is experiencing its deepest economic crisis in its 74 years since independence.

An RT Documentary team took this footage. They are in Sri Lanka making a film about how the country is overcoming the economic crisis. It will premiere soon.

‘The idea has been pushed that cooperation with NATO itself is already a security guarantee. Well, nonsense, of course. It has nothing to do with reality’.

Political analyst and journalist Nana Devdariani argues that propaganda in favour of NATO has been carried out in Georgia for more than twenty years.

Since the beginning of Russia’s special operation in Ukraine, negative attitudes towards Russians have been flaring up worldwide. Nana says similar ideas and appeals have been going on in Georgia for several years. But, in recent months, this propaganda favouring NATO has also turned into ‘the planting of Russophobia’.

The journalist says there is no consensus among the Georgian population on this issue:

‘It’s such a narrow elite: NGOs, party, media, experts are pro-Western oriented, but there is no unanimity in the population’.

Protests continue in Sri Lanka, despite the imposition of a state of emergency. People are demanding the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Anti-Russian sanctions have exacerbated the economic crisis, and prices in the country have skyrocketed. The cost of basic foodstuffs has more than doubled. Locals queue up for paraffin. They need fuel to cook food.

The ‘hottest’ point of the protests is near the secretariat of the head of state. A tent camp was set up there. People have travelled from all over the country. Among the protesters is Mahindi Siri, a 40-year-old Special Forces soldier. He lost a leg after being blown up by a landmine while fighting in the north. The war ended 13 years ago. He never imagined he would have to count every rupee to survive.

This footage was shot by an RT Documentary team in Sri Lanka, making a new film about how the country is coping with the economic crisis. It’s premiering soon.
