Sri Lankan Mahindi Siri is 40 and a former soldier. He lost his leg 13 years ago when a mine blew him up during a battle in the country’s north. Then there was a civil war with Tamil separatists that ended in 2009. Today, the ex-soldier is forced to count every rupee to survive. Prices have risen sharply, and long queues line up for fuel from early morning.
The country is facing an acute economic crisis, in which anti-Russian sanctions have played a part. As a result, riots broke out in Colombo, Sri Lanka’s largest city. Protesters smashed houses and cars and threw sticks and stones at the police. They responded with water cannon and tear gas. As a result of street clashes, nine people were killed, including two police officers, and more than 240 were injured.
Mahindi Siri was one of the protesters. His story will be included in a new RT Documentary film about what is happening in Sri Lanka.

Today is International Family Day. In honour of this day, we are talking about Mariam from Uganda. By the age of 41, she had given birth to 44 children. Only 38 survived. She is a single mother and barely makes ends meet. ‘I was left alone with the kids. I can try to save 50,000 shillings, and it takes me a month to do it’, says Mariam.
The main thing she wants to do for her children, especially for her daughters, is to educate them to get out of trouble and not follow in her footsteps. Watch her incredible story in our video and film, Mama Uganda.

‘If I never go to international competitions... I won’t be very upset. It is much more important for me that people in the Donbass can finally live a normal life,’ says world powerlifting champion Maryana Naumova.
Maryana supports the residents of Donbass. She has been there over 20 times. In 2015, the athlete gave the ex-Governor of California Arnold
Schwarzenegger letters from children from the DPR and LPR. ‘I saw that the assistant somehow took this letter and dragged it somewhere. How it went on, I don’t know, ‘recalls Maryana. The girl says Schwarzenegger apparently never read a single message.
Maryana reminded him of these letters a couple of months ago when she recorded a video message in response to his speech on the situation in Ukraine. She said the actor was mistaken: ‘Nazism has no nationality’, ‘Russophobia is no better than anti-Semitism’.
See her story in our post and film Killing Russian Culture.

‘Isaac is a very fast and intelligent rat. He is good at concentrating on finding TNT.’
In Tanzania, giant hamster rats are trained to be professional bomb disposal experts. They work in minefields in former hotspots. The rodents can easily smell carefully camouflaged explosive devices thanks to their excellent sense of smell.
Do you want to see how a bomb-sniffing rat is trained? Then, watch the clip and film Isaac: The Story of a Little Giant.

They’re in their 80s.’ Mariupol residents speak of their experience while the city was occupied by Ukraine's Armed Forces. The Ukrainian army left behind destroyed houses and continued shelling buildings even as they retreated.

These photos show Ukrainian neo-Nazi, Russophobe, and Azov* battalion commander Dmitry Kukharchuk with American Congresswoman Victoria Spartz. Dmitry is known for his brutal abuse of Russian prisoners of war. He periodically posts gruesome photos and videos of torture on his social networks.
Kucharchuk accompanied the congresswoman on her recent unofficial visit to Kiev. Victoria Spartz is a native of Ukraine. After graduating from university, she moved to the United States and was elected to Congress in 2021.
The nationalist Kukharchuk does not hide his hatred, openly publishes violent and cruel material and calls for aggression against Russians. However, the American congresswoman is clearly not embarrassed by this.
*Recognized as extremist and banned in Russia

‘I am a black gay immigrant woman ... to hold this position’. So the new White House Press Secretary decided to talk about just that at her first briefing.
Karine Jean-Pierre is 44 years old, and she raises a daughter with her lesbian partner. She has an ideal profile for the US Democratic Party: Jean-Pierre is an African American with Haitian roots, a representative of the LGBT community who studied at the prestigious Columbia University.
Karine Jean-Pierre replaced Jen Psaki as US President’s spokeswoman. Previously Karine stood behind the podium only when Psaki was ill or on vacation.
Now, this is who we’ll learn about the administration’s policy direction and possible further sanctions against Russia. But do sanctions have a strong bite? Watch the film Sanctions: Opportunity in Disguise.

‘Azov came and said: ‘Come to the factory, to the bomb shelter!’. And then they say: 'We're going to die, and all of you will die here with us!'.
Michael, a worker at the Azovstal plant, talks about how the Azov fighters lured people to the facility to use them as human shields. Today, when the Ukrainian media call the surrender of nationalists ‘evacuation’, I want to show them this video. And to convey the words of an Azovstal worker, where his colleagues who were held hostage died: ‘They're not human! They must be exterminated! They don't deserve a trial’.
This is an interview from our new film. The premiere is coming soon.

‘Living here is hell.’ In 2021, people in the Lugansk region told reporters they had been living under constant shelling from the Ukrainian military. ‘It was scary because, at any moment, you could lose your life, which has hardly begun’, says schoolgirl Valeria.
This is a clip from the film Donbass: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. It’s about the ‘anti-terrorist operation’ in Ukraine, the brutality of neo-Nazi battalions, and what they did to civilians.
Today is LPR Constitution Day. Its development and discussion began in a tent camp near the SSU building in Luhansk. The document’s creation was almost a spontaneous idea because there was no time for it: there were Ukrainian troops on the outskirts of the republic. The constitution became the first legislative act of the newly born republic.
