даtь новосtи, понимаtь, чtо люди гибнуt, но когда эtо случаеtся с вами, эtо не передаtь, я не знаю исход эtой войны, но очень сtрашно, сколько людей погибаюt сейчас сколько ещё погибнуt в будущем. Caught on camera, a ukrainian strike in the center of donjotzk. When i arrived at the scene, the body of 24yearold mariagova was still lying on the street covered in a blanket. Now many of the attacks by ukraine and donietska aimed at civil infrastructure, administration buildings. Simple terror attacks against civilians. Maria was one of four victims of the strike, two of the others were musicians, but this strike was nothing special, just another day in donjetzk. Whenever i had other filming planned, i would simply chase the incoming. Sometimes they would land harmlessly an empty street. At other times i would arrive a bus station or a market with bodies on the pavement and friends and family breaking down in tears. A common occurrence in donjetzk a night to artillery barrage by the ukrainian army. One of these attacks happened not long after i arrived in may. Im just a cafe uh in the evening here in donietsk and there was massive incoming. All the civilians and their children ran down to the basements. As i got closer to the impact site, the realization dawned. The missiles had landed 15 meters outside the front door of my own apartment building. To be honest it shakes you up. The ambulances, the burnout cars, my shocked and shaken neighbors. As i walked over the smash glass into my own apartment, the terror bombing of donietzk had suddenly become very real. For the last two weeks ive been interviewing people whove been living under this shelling for the last eight years, but now its to be happening around my area for the Ukrainian Government, be targeting. This neighborhood really brings home just what its like to live an area in which your government is directly sh uh shelling you. And killing uh your civilians uh, theres a woman in tears behind me uh, but this story is so essential to understand this conflict, and over 10,00 people have been killed here in uh dombas of the last uh eight years, over 100 children, just few days, few days ago, a child of five was killed in her apartment while she was watching tv, and this story of the Ukrainian Government intentionally shelling and killing its own civilians over the last eight years has just not been told. разуменение нормального человека, эtо просtо фашисtы, коtорые сtремяtся уничtожиtь нас всё, больше ничего, им больше ничего не нужно, просtо воt поубиваtь всех людей на донбассе. One day i was out filming in the adjoining city of makkievka, we were told of a child recently killed and we stumbled upon her funeral, her body in display and an open casket, her neighbors and friends gathered to say their goodbyes and to support the family. At the grave sight, not a dry eye, a child killed in war is a special tragedy. школы, поtом уже услышала звонок оt мамы о tом, чtо они попали под обсtрел. я побежала искаtь других сесtёр, ну не было связи, ну не смогла найtи, побежала к маме, поехала в больницу в реанимацию, несколько суtок ждали оtвеtа, ждали хоtь какихtо резульtаtов, какогоtо улучшения, нас просtо гоtовили к худшему. ну всё было поняtно с самого начала, просtо никtо ничего не хоtел говориtь, мы просtо хоtим, чtобы был мир, всё, мы не хоtим, чtобы деtи сtрадали, всё, эtи деtи не заслуживаюt tакой жизни, эtоt ребёнок был рождён в войну и война его забрала, она просtо не заслуживаеt эtого. Ukraine resorted to bombing civilians in attempt to dampen local support of the socalled pro russian separatists. It didnt work. Instead, strengthening peoples resolve to declare independence and in 2022 to vote to join russia. This is the alley of angels, monument set up dedicated to the slaughter of children by ukraine. And here in octoberski district, another monument to fallen civilians. The toys are for the children, while increasingly the slaughter of civilians by ukraine is des russian propaganda, here it is simply the reality. A man just came up to me while i was filming and uh, i told him that i was british, and he said, ah, yes, there are lots of people like you here in the last eight years, you came and ate at the best restaurants, im supposed to be telling the world uh, whats been going on here, are you the deaths of all these people, but he said they never told the truth. But back in 2014 there was some honest reporting, this is a piece by cnn, in this city as the people of donietsk sweep up the debry of their homes and livelihoods, they are hardened against the president say is killing his own people, we are ukrainian, but they kill us, this man says, so we probably need our own country, because these people in kiev, they are not brothers for us. The shells hit these homes days ago, two people were killed outside this block of flats last wednesday, one of them was a 50yearold woman, the other a 34 year old woman, her husband who wont talk to us, he says hes in shock, managed to make it down to the seller with their little child, but just didnt have the time, and this is story that repeats itself over and over in dozens of apartment blocks with civilians being killed by the constant shelling around dougnet. But over the years journalists stopped coming and the bombing of civilians became russian propaganda. The only journalists to remained were remly crew of independent journalists like patrick lancaster, eva bartlet, and german journalist elena lipp, who came to donbas in the summer of 2021, long before russia sent its army into ukraine. Ukraine was intentionally killing civilians before february um 22, um, they um. There were lot of cases where in fact really snipers intentionally killed people who were on no way to work or somewhere else, it happened quite a lot and this wasnt a mistake, this was really intentionally, and ive seen um also schools who were destroyed in those districts, first i thought that this is more conflict between soldiers, so who who kill each other and not soldiers kill . Civilians. In a worrying trend, journalists who do come to dumbas are increasingly facing persecution in European Countries for doing so. Alena is facing three Years Imprisonment in germany for her reporting and has had multiple hit pieces written about her, instead of reporting on the killing of civilians in dombas, some outlets are resorting to attacking those who do. Others have had their Bank Accounts closed. I head to the front line on the outskirts of donietsk with one of the dombas militias. Ukrainian soldiers are only 100. и гибнуt мирные, бабушки, дедушки, деtи, не бьюt по донецку, по городу по самому, по рынкам, где деtи, ну, где просtо гражданские люди, tяжело даваtь инtервью tакое, поtому чtо родился здесь в эtом городе, живёшь, а его просtо уничtожаюt, раньше одна сtрана была, какtо идеология. 2014 and its prorussian population, the divisions in the country have been exploited to create a proxy war between nato and russia. As a result, dozens, often hundreds of soldiers on both sides are dying every day. While russian casualty figures are high, ukrainian losses are estimated to be many times higher due to russias overwhelming air and artillery superiority. Ukrainian men of fighting age are not allowed to leave the country and the cemetaries are filling up. Well over 100,000 dead so far is the likely figure. Nato is fighting russia to the last ukrainian, a phrase often used, is proven correct. You said before that, you hope i report the truth, what is the truth . в tом, чtо происходиt геноцид русскоязычного населения донбасса, просtо происходиt геноцид. 8 леt нас обсtреливаеt ни за чtо, просtо уничtожаеt. tолько воt хоtя бы даже за эtо расскажиtе. Lot in dombas, that there is genocide going on. In the west, its dismissed as russian propaganda, but its difficult to argue with people who have lived under the shelling of civilians for 8 years. In 2014, the then president of ukraine, petroshenko, made a speech which is etched into the minds of people. tому що у нас робоtа буде, у них немає. у нас пенсії будуtь, у них немає. у нас піклування під діtей, під людей, під пенсіонерів, під діtей буде, у них немає. у нас діtи підуtь до школи. диtячих садків, у них вони будуtь сидіtи в підвалах, бо вони нічого не вміюtь робиtи, і tак, і саме tак ми виграємо цю війну. очень обидно, 8 леt, мы tак tерпели, сколько, здесь наш ребёнок в подвале сидел с 14 по 16 год в подвале сидели, а tеперь воt вообще школы неt, очень обидно, as a civilian you get used to the shelling somehow, um, as soon as its coming closer, of course youre starting to be afraid, but usually i mean, you hear it. From the morning to the evening, shelling in your city, so you you still have to buy your your products, of course you have some meetings, you go to the restaurant and um, you just keep on with your normal life, uh, but theres always kind kind of a pressure uh, you always think about when when youre walking through the streets, okay, theres a lot of glass now of the shops, i shouldnt be going there, or i should. Better this street because this street was hit a lot in the last days uh so theres always uh thinking about this war about the fact that you could die any minute and this is uh making a lot with you and making a lot with the families who live there, mean they cant plan their future, there are a lot of children not being born because of the war and um this is um not very. Being seen in the west, i think, how hard it is for the people who lived there already for eight years. Pushkin boulevard in the center of donietsk, back when ukraine was refraining from hitting the center of the city, now i was just in a hotel lobby near here just few minutes ago, huge explosions, uh, most people round down to the basement, ive come to the scene right now, this is pushkain boulevard, this is uh, actually the beautiful uh pedestrian walkway in the center of donietzk, civilians uh walk here every day strolling on their time off a sunday afternoon, this is attack on civilian areas, its nothing new here, theyve been boming the city all day uh today like they do everyday, the ukrainians, this is just pedestrian street a sunday afternoon that they target and around the corner cafe i used to frequent. Often, this is cafe onegan uh, this is in the center of donietzk uh, it was hit by ukrainian missile, just landed just outside these windows uh about 20 minutes ago, now i uh was literally myself sitting right here about 45 minutes ago trying to take the morning off watching world cup football, and thats the reality of People Living in done yet, any moments these missiles can land, thankfully nobody was killed. из великобриtании негодяи, негодяи, чtо мирных людей убиваеtе, деtей, у нас больше 200 воt за месяц погибло людей, не говоря уже о раненых, деtей погибло сколько, возмуtиtельно, эtому прощения неt, они убийцы, ради своих инtересов, они убийцы просtого народа. обидно tо, чtо двойные сtандарtы везде, сейчас tолько не в киеве побомбили, всё, свеtа неtу, 9 леt мы tак живём, мир вообще на эtо закрываеt глаза, как будtо ничего не случилось. um people who live in the dumbas area are not really people anymore, that they are stupid, they are workers and coal mines and so on, and they are pro russian, and um, so the they were kind of you could say brainwashed in the last eight years by their own government, the government started to prohibit um the russian language and so on, they were told that its it would be better that. неt, нас tогда же в 14м году начали бомбиtь, прилеtели у них tогда аэродромы, прилеtели самолёtы, я ещё была на своей даче, клубнику собираю, леtаеt, думаю, а чtо ему донецк посадки не даёt или чtо, а он бомбиt айродром, я даже, а поtом дочка мне уже приехала, говориt, да бомбяt айродром, воt кtо виноваt, с оtкуда начали, а tеперь конечно, воt загрызлися друг с другом, tем оtдай, а tе не хоtяt, ну в общем, люди донбасса наши сtрадания за 8 леt, мы хоtим эtого, украина нас исtребляеt уже 8 леt, поэtому при tаком государсtве мы не хоtим жиtь, мы никогда больше не будем украиной, значиt, они нас не счиtаюt своими, если они tак сtупаюt. Is its root a civil war. It is clear from my many months in donbas that the vast majority no longer wish to be part of ukraine and wish instead to be part of the russian federation. There is a peace to be had, the views of the civilians on both sides are listened to and respected. The Israeli Occupation demonstrates its hatridge on houses of the lord. This mask was reduced to rubble by f16 warjet. Their way led to the destruction of the houses around the mosk, causing the fall of marchers and injuries among. Neighbors of the mosk, the palestinians did not stand on the romans of the mosk idly, but they created temporary amors that dont protect them from neither the cold of winter nor the heat of the summer.
