Conflict between Kiev’s forces and Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine’s east has been escalating.
There have been repeated violations by both sides of the ceasefire agreement signed 6 years ago.
On Monday talks were held to help end fighting between Kyiv’s forces and Russian-backed separatists.
And as military conflict escalates and Russian forces amass, fears and anxiety grow in frontier Ukrainian towns.
Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports from the frontlines in eastern Ukraine.

#Ukraine #EasternUkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineTensions
One planet we bleed same blood 🩸 we should be united
Ya united,that’s what Putin said.
but your haircut is not the same
Just digging graves!
No war ….I want both Russia and Ukraine to be safe ….Russia is the largest country in the world why Russia need more lands …
Go 🇺🇦
Support for Russia
❌Jesus Christ please stop WAR! ❌
The war never changes 😢
Joe Biden cause this
Stay safe stay bless Ukraine
I’m confused if they have been fighting all this time and people have been dying why we only hearing about this now
Because of Biden. He is too hostile to Putin and Zelenskiy thinks he got support from Americans (maybe he did, secretly), so he claimed to attack pro-Russia separatists in eastern area and try to join NATO again (Russia would not accept that), escalating the situation.
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
Mamacita
Without NATO backing, It’s just a matter of time Ukraine fall in the hand of Putin.
i dont think so … more i thing the nato backing will be the reason why it will fall into the hands of russians …. i think it woud be the best if the usa just accepts the existence of russia and stop occupieing every place around russia … if the usa would care about the usa instead of every other country the europeans woud not feel the need to disturb russia or ukraine and so russians would leave the ukraine alone
The world’s people don’t want war anymore.
I think you’ll find a lot of people do. Millions don’t join the army to sit in their pants all day. Big companies don’t make bullets, bombs and protective equipment to gather dust.
@Lee Shepherd Trading Then why dont they just go kill each other without any involvement of innocent people? Rather selfish don’t they?
People should help that kid and mother get to safety
Love to Ukraine 🇺🇦 my favourite bloodline goes back to the country form my grandpas side.
It’s YOU again AMERICA, why don’t you just SUPPORT California free then…
God bless ukraine
We all support Ukraine 🇺🇦 only Shia Muslim serbia grece Iran Afghanistan hate Ukraine and love rusia
It’s a answer to European Union and American’s, because they think only they got the rights but time is changing and also Asian got the right and now it’s time to get rights by force,,,,
NATO insanity going to get these people killed ! Stop telling Russian what to do inside their own country !
Idicracy ! What else ? You can called war ! … If NATO get involved Putin was saying on RT TV full nuclear war !
Did the Russian military went into Ukraine? No! Is Russian any how provoking? No! Is there an official statement from Russia that it will go inside the borders? No. At this moment Ukraine wants to kill their own people, that’s all. Even separatist who does not want to join is their own blood. Who is putting tension on the border? It is Ukraine. The Eastern separatist did not advanced in any way. They are protecting only what belongs to them and preventing a massacre which will happen if those Ukrainian unprofessional mercenaries going in. All is in a dead lock because Kiev did not implemented the Minsk agreement which was a plan to create peace. Anyhow Donbas will never join Ukraine anymore, that’s a fact.
seems so… very sad
Crimea people wanted to join Russia. Ukrain please leave them. Do not try to take back. They live in peace
21st century, still stupid conflicts, rasism, no respect, its sad…
Were with RUSSIA
what possible reason ukranians feel that crimean peninsula belongs to them ?.
chrushov the Ussr leader at that time in 1950,s or there abouts ; proclaimed it to be part of ukraine
otherwise it has always was part the Tzar Russia the Soviet Russia and now R Federation Russia.
and should referendum of 95 % vote count for something? the citizens of crimea have decided.
7000 years ago russia not the soviets did exist … what possible reason russians feel that russia belongs to them ?
brainless tool
@wukawuka goobagooba to brainless troll your analogy can be reversed to every nation that claims that it is theirs ,,,,,,,,,,,, so where do we start
@wukawuka goobagooba that’s the most retarded argument I’ve ever read
Trenches in 2021 ??
Indonesia will support Russia because we hate EU n their black campaign
The world is full of suffering and struggles regardless of your birth place..
I know what you mean bro, my McDonald’s was cold.
@Lee Shepherd Trading more like my toilet seat is cold
@Cika Gaming I’ve got a self warming loo seat. It didn’t get up to temperature yesterday and I had a bit of a breakdown because of it. Luckily my therapist got me an emergency appointment.
Old men starts wars younger men dies
What if the greatest trick the devil ever played was that young babies were in reality sending old men to die.
Think about it 🤔🪓
Those Russian are Olson Russian citizens will be wise for these people on the border to move to secure site’s Russian will not attack but if Ukrainians start it will be a problem in towns are Ukrainian as well Russian about 500,000 Russian with Russia citizenship. Will be wise to do things peacefully in Minks who needs the war.
All People there Are russians, go back to kyiev… Cry to NATO
send the feminist to the front lines
(A VERY SAD AND HEARTFELT… (STORY!!!)….
Let’s Say The Lords Prayer!!!
Together!…(SHALL WE?)…AND….
(LOVE FOREVER!!!)
Because praying will help when bombs are dropping. 🤦♂️
Russia is trying to start WW3 👎
Europe does not want to take responsibility for Ukraine and invest money in it. Why are you climbing?… Ukraine is a small Russia. The Russians have allowed Germany to be united, why does Germany not want to reunite the fraternal peoples and punish the Nazis?…
why should germany or even russians decive over the life of ukrainians? dont you think the ukrainians are mature enough to decide them self how or where they want to life?
@wukawuka goobagooba This country is not able to exist independently. For 30 years, the Ukrainian authorities have been robbing their people and taking out loans.
Ukraine has debts of more than $ 100 billion, they are not able to pay them, and this continues. The population of Ukraine for 30 years of independence has decreased by 20 million. Industry, factories that worked in cooperation with Russia-closed. People do not have jobs, they are not even able to pay for utilities.
Those who rule this country today are destroying it. This is all done with the tacit consent of Europeans and Americans. They will ruin their reputation for many generations to come, doing harm to the Slavic peoples.
@Непобедимое Добро no country is independent .. not even russia … some days ago i did listen to putin .. he told why the sanctions were good for russia .. because russia could invent theyr oen tech .. he also said it would be better without sanctions because states could deal directly .. he said because of the sanctions they have to deal indirectly .. in that way the eu is loosing a lot of money and russia too and the usa less but still … the point is not who is loosing and how much .. the point is .. even russia is not independent and has to deal with other states … so whyt is the point of your argument?
looks how the elite in the usa is living while theyr citizens are homeless … look how the elites in europe live while ohers go to the street kitchen … all the elites are robbing theyr slaves … do you honestly think there are no elites in russia?
any way the capitalistik system will not last for ever because it is in its nature to fail so what do you or any care about the reputation of others … the usa is bankrupt since decades and no one cares
Just put your leaders on the ring MMA.
Don’t jump into war!
It would end then with Russia winning every match due tl Putin skills from former KGB and Spetsnaz
Because this is too good of an idea
Well said😂
Is Putin under orders from Xi Jinping to start a war on the Western Front so that China can start its invasion of Taiwan?
Biden start the war
Canada here, wake up America, its time for us to go to work.
It’s just one sided narrative. Where’s the Russian perspective? So hypocrital smh.
Ehhh … its the ukraine and not russia … still today … if you want to hear about the russian narrative you shoud ask the russians about how life is in russia
End time is nare. I can feel it. (allahu alam)
Indeed. The Ummah can feel it!
Who is the person u r waiting for?
In ur name waiting for someone? Who is he?
@Talha Masood i am waiting for imam Mahdi as
Ukraine is ruined country thanks to EU and USA!
Free Ukraine. Love from Mexico and America
I don’t understand how much land Russia need? They are already the biggest country in the world.
What need us and nato in Ukraine? That is question
Russia is already involved, the “separatists” are just a front. Moscow should grant self-determination to Adyghs, Balkars, Bashkirs, Chechens, Cherkess, Ingush, Kabardins, Karachay, Tatars, Udmurts, Chuvash, Ossetians, Buryats, Mordvins, Yakuts and other peoples colonised by it.
Я осетин , и я не хочу не куда ити, нахуй мне это надо??
it’s 150,000 Russian troops
Would you believe me if I told you that it’s because Donald Trump is no longer president. The Russia’s aren’t afraid of intervention in another land grab just like when Obama was in office
Ukraine soldiers will be killed like bugs,
trenches of the first world war come to mind…
Stop the War 🙁
Maybe if they stop poking the bear nothing will happen
Cmon America, time to do the right thing and support our Ukrainian brothers and sisters
Lord have mercy on us all
oh man.. world war is coming is it? west ukrainian/russia, here east China/Taiwan *sigh*
Slava Ukraini!
You know all it would take is NATO staging 100K troops in Western Ukraine. I seriously doubt Russia would invade then.
It doesn’t matter China will seize land from Russia in the east. Just as Chairman Mao Zedong did long ago.
What changed in the last two weeks?
No such a country known as “Ukaraine'” in the world! It was fabricated by the West after the demise of the Soviet Union!
The nation of Ukraine during 1919~1920 has no legitimate ground to exist!
Ukraine looks like it never even recovered from the last world war.
Watchout To the 6Million Army Bois
Covid has people stranded in their countries. We are all stuck. Its definitely about to be world war 3 .
Why aren’t you asking the other side of the conflict what they think ? This is not a reporter, you only tell people what Ukranian think, so this is a story of only one side of the conflict.
Kiev started the build-up of troops, encouraged by the increased anti-Russia demonising by the Biden regime. Humanity urgently needs real democracy in the corporate-controlled U.S. fraudulently disguised as ‘democracy’. The corporate-controlled US Empire breaks international laws with impunity. Driven by insatiable greed and with 800+ military installations in 140+ countries so far, the Empire’s relentless agenda is total ownership and control of the world’s natural, financial and human resources. This makes it the main instigator of wars and terrorism worldwide. This makes it everyone’s problem. The world must fight back against The Empire!
Russia will fracture Ukraine and annex a few more pieces of its eastern territory. The US had largely the same vision for Iraq back in 2002.
And China will does same to Russia in the east. When Russian get stuck in Ukraine, China will invade Russia and take eastern territories just like Chairman Mao Zedong.
@Mandarin and the Ten Rings No that’s not going to happen. The mutually beneficial relationship between Russia and China doesn’t make room for such a thing. There is no history of war of conquest from this Chinese govt. Don’t believe in minotaurs and unicorns and whatever other anti-China blah blah blah coming out of the dirt stained media.
@heymisterderp Mutually Beneficial, another bleeding heart liberal. Where do get such “Romantic notions” BOY? You been watching one to many western movies. There is only power, weak is rules over by the strong. And when Russia get bogged down in a war it can’t win. Then we will take territories in the east from Russia, just has HISTORY has shown with Chairman Mao Zedong.
FRANCE should leave NATO … quickly
Hold my Cognac 🥃
Al Jazzera is CNN, same thing
ukraine please just surrender. it will be a massacre. 🙏
What does Russia even want in Ukraine? Is it a port in the Black Sea?

War is a big business. But no will win.
USA take your people for a ride.If war break out between Russia and the USA nothing wil be left of your country.
Fight with sticks and stones only
Millions of women on boths sides should assemble and march to the border lines and make a spectacle of asurd proportion to stop this madness which is nothing more.
NATO need to step in and say not going to happen.
Who know ?
Why Ukrain war with russia ?
Nato is afraid and shamed to tell Ukraine the real truth which is……………They are also afraid of Russia…….kkkkkkk
No matter where I live if I could hear bombs and small-arms fire I move
Ukraine giving up it’s nuclear weapons was their biggest mistake. As a response to continued imperialism all victims should have nuclear bombs, and all nuclear states that won’t give them these weapons shall be held accountable
this is so disgusting the fact that Russia destroyed a small village indiscriminately, imagine how they would affect other cities and small communities.
For no reason
“Mother Russia” is back again!
Biden was right. Putin is a killer.
The US is a killer.
If Russia starts a ground invasion people need to start recording it or live streaming it to the world. Show the world what Russia is really doing to the point that their propaganda is useless.
Why the war …? NATO annexed the Catholic part of Ukraine … Russia CRIMEA and the Orthodox part … They just need to make an agreement in Belgrade, the agreements are signed and WITHDRAW THE BORDERS … Just like beans …
Makes me sad to see kids like that. Breaks my heart!
Give peace a chance and let’s be all as one.🙏
so, when is WW3 starting, getting bored of the covid charade LOL
If you think about it russian battalions are already in Donetsk and Luhansk, almost a 3 rd of post 91 ukraine is already under control of Russia. Not going to be ww3 don’t worry, russia is just sending the world a message. If anything they might gain more ground near the Donetsk airport
So whats changed??
This idiot Joe Biden is in office
making life harder for everybody.
Wait, I thought Russia was the motherland.
A history lesson for NATO members, as in World War I and the first half of World War II, If war breaks out in Europe, the US will watch it on TV thousands of miles away…
poor people, are imprisoned by USA, UK, Ukrainian Nazis.
“In times of peace prepare for war” yet we all forgot about it.
Pray for peace 🙏🙏
the children should move aut there go another contry set up ukrahine ppl to watch the children young girls woman man be ready fight if war start hope no start this time they going to hit midle night prabely if they hit ewning / morning
