The standoff in eastern Ukraine is making it more difficult for people to access basic services.
Trips that used to take less than an hour can now take an entire day or longer.

Always the innocent who suffer
The only that not suffer in Russians Mir are Putins innercircle.
@Rich elites is courupted in all eastern Europe only Serbia is not corupted Hungary.
@ Greenpoloboy3
Sad, but true. 🙁
@Here_We_Go_Again2 🙁
If you asked USA they are the one suffering for their own aggression and it’s their victims fault!
Well, if USSR was still around, Ukraine SSR be a thriving industrial power, but now its nothing but a NATO puppet trying to flare up war with Russia just so the world powers can balkanise it and create huge profit margins.
No surprise here. US meddling brings only blood, poverty and misery. Look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya or Ukraine.
Al jazeera del comments 😂
I don’t think channels can delete comments. The YouTube algorithm does if it deems comments as spam.
Blame russia,no one else.

That 80 years old men I feel sry for him. He live through out the Soviet days and saw the USSR failed in the 90s and now see his country Ukraine might become part of Russia again
@al rent it’s trying to build a new Soviet union
@makeyyyy7890 if the people in those former Soviet countries are willing to be under the Russian federation. That’s there business! The u.s. has no business meddling!
@makeyyyy7890 the u.s. has been in several dozen conflicts/ wars. With about 70 bases around the world. The u.s. politicians have a lot of blood on their hands. You see Russia doing that! Can’t compare!!
If you asked people in Ukraine how they had lived in the Soviet Union most of them (dumb nationalists excluded of course) would say that these were their best times. I mean 50-70 period. Ukraine was the wealthiest of all Soviet republics. Look what it turned into now. Extreme nationalists are in power and break every human right. Ukraine became independent in 1991 but lost national sovereignty becoming an American colony. The population of the country, which is rapidly diminishing, is split into national and social groups their interests in conflict. As if it’s not enough, the USA is pushing Ukraine to war against Russia. This would be a real tragedy, incomparable to what we have now.
@200ரூ கீழ் ஜாதி உபி’s Muttal
Pore people always stuck in the middle! My heart break to see 80 year old man crying 😢 Man what survived 2Nd ward war brutal Stalin and Soviet communism and now again Russian aggression ! Horrible!
US agression, do not confuse!
US aggression, US and UK always destroying other countries and leave them when nothing to take from them. Only now they using others countries hands to put them against each other, don’t forget Ukraine and Russia slavic and have relatives on both sides
It will be better if Ukraine surrender to Russia, soo many lives will be saved. NATO is using Ukraine
Why are they making it so hard for old people to cross. Stupid they aren’t a threat to anybody.
Because of spies
…hypocrite Putin said that he came to protect Russian population!…that’s what he has done – make people to live in caves again with no infrastructure and no economy – a region sent into ruble in negative temperature!…can’t imagine anything more cruel!…
I only like the kid on the luggage taking a ride. Smart mother she is.
thank USA and NATO for this
@zorendj borrow some of his rubbels and rent a brain
@zorendj
try education kid, helps in life
@zorendj ur so clueless 😂
@Talion Who care about the russian trolls ?
May a good therapist help you
Free Ukraine!
Russia will respond if western interfere or ukrain do something foolish preach peace and let people lives a happy life russia feels threat so de-escalate tension as quick as you can to avoid huge loss in both sides keep your ego away and think of your citizen first
Russia will bla bla bla. Russia is a terrorstate. Putins rates are droping day by day, because russians are tired of his mafia regime. And now he push this war because he has got insane. Shut up troll
@zorendj
you forgot to use words “kremlin, bot, dictator, novichok” xDD you wont get a raise like that xD
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Doomsday🔥🔥🔥
Ukraine is to be blame. Because they have to think about the economic growth and provide standards living for the citizens and stop going to white house for seeking for money. They have to create jobs for Ukraine citizens. Ukraine is the poorer country among forma soviet union. Those who are talking about Crimea should take a flight to Crimea and see the wonderful life the people are enjoying .free health care , free education from child school to university level.
@hemligsnubbe I visited Odessa, Ukraine three times in 2009-2010. The u.s. does propaganda through proxies and it doesn’t invest in those countries! It’s total chaos and destruction with the u.s. those former Soviet countries and it’s people need to work it out. Ukraine been wanting to be in NATO and e.u. but the government needs to accomplish things. For which they haven’t!
@hemligsnubbe
take first 15 biggest russian cities and you will see people live there better than in Europe now and it will be 75% of Russian population! Russia invest in Crimea heavily cause Ukraine didnt! Imagine a country which is 1/9 of world land with only 120mln popultion, which was ruined just 75 years ago and lost 1/4 of its men. So in order to put a plant somewhere in far east you have to build whole infrastructure where with police, post, hospitals, shops, roads and so on in order to attract people there while being under heavy pressure of the 1st economy and its sanctions as well!
Ukranians had a bad economy before the civil war, Russia has nothing to do with that! Eu never planned to accept Ukraine. And if you want to talk about soviet former states check their economies before collapse of USSR, the situation all former soviet states now are thanks to US politics
@idi m So much wrong information in one comment
@hemligsnubbe
sure kid xD information you want is on cnn
Hey bud, how much did the Kremlin pay you to write that.
Their countries their rules.
your watching news from a qatar news company that does not tell of the deaths that have happened building building world cup stadiums , it will be the most bloodiest world cup ever , and that before the 1st game ,,,,,,, is this allahs will is this what islam preaches ?
This is such unnecessary suffering for innocent civilians and all bcoz of the expansionist EU and NATO.
Nice try troll.
@zorendj
lol, try harder bot!
Yeah yes,it’s not like Russia literally annex land.
Those evil leaders always look after their interest. They don’t consider the welfare of the civilians especially the elderly.
They will send the young men to war, to die for their leaders ego. The wealthy and powerful are cowards who use us as pawns.
Your referring to zelinsky! He doesn’t provide for his people. Ukraine is very corrupt.
God bless
Russia always need imaginary opponents to prop its own policy and oligarchs. All based on creating fear to control its people
Country ruled by despots for centuries cant allow for freedom.
Terrible always poor people pay for crazy politicals
Do those politicians in Brussel ever thinking about them?
The EU and Putin should
arrange referendums in
these areas. There are
a lot of ethnic Russians
in eastern Ukraine. If
the area voted to leave
Ukraine then aid should
be given to those who
do not want to be part
of Russia to move west.
It is all George Sor** planning and funding these, to fulfill his own dream of replacing the Soviet. He is the one behind all EU and former Soviet Unions’ wars & conflicts, spending billions on that.
Have a look at my recent report on Blinken for details.
The Ukraine has a huge problem with poverty yet can buy weapons that they don’t need
corruption is bigger!
Idiot they need weapons. What’s point of having a country if you can’t defend it
@ವರುಣ್ ರಾಜು
they are not having it yet, so you better start having a country and then weapons
call it as it is – Us-Ukraine tensions against Russia xD
Putin invaded Crimea and lied when asked about it. He said Russian troupes were not involved. Same with Donetsk. This conflict would not exist if not for Putin’s greed.
Now we are to believe he is innocently massing troupes along the Ukraine border?
Russia is not under threat. Let’s face it, No one from the west is interested in anything Russian….
Well the people can be very nice. Everybody likes Russian people. Putin and his criminal empire that has control of the government, not so much.
STOP wasting time and don’t allow the devil to deceive you. REPENT AND TURN TO GOD. No human government can solve any problems. It will only get worse. The ruler of this world is satan, this is why there is so much suffering. Salvation is through Yeshua, the son of the only true God, Yahuah who is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. FOCUS MORE ON SPIRITUAL THINGS.
Nope
Russia must help the Russian people living in Ukraine!!!? Ukrainian government is a NATO puppet and the West wants to have its nuclear arsenals on Russian doorstep. This is the plan, Mr Putin I respect you for having nerves of steel with this evil terrorists groups. Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸
Putin is a coward, invading a peaceful land. There was no danger in Ukraine until he started this war. This is a war of cowards and creeps.
Wars and rumours of wars continue..We are in the last days ..in the end of end times..Believe in the Lord and be saved says the Word of God..Now is the acceptable time and today is the day . Repent says the Lord,for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The second coming of Lord Jesus is near.
With sin rampant and increased wickedness all over, the judgement day is coming near.
Papers, please
I felt bad for the old man, you can tell he has had a hard life and just wants some peace.
A build-up of troops can be quite intimidating…
Until that is, you become aware of the capabilities of the US ‘daisycutter’
Then it just becomes an opportunity…
I never heard of US jet pilots being suicide bombers.
If US and UK stopped sticking their nose in other countries, the world would be a safer place
Unfortunately the innocents will suffer.
All the world should pressure Russia to give back the control of Ukrainian land. Dont you dare blame Ukraine for Russian invasion. Peale suffering and you are doing propaganda.
Media propaganda!!!
america brings you hope and peace of course
*Theory proves some countries want to expand their territory. Like Russia annexed Crimea, Israel annexed East Jerusalem and West Bank & Golan, Morocco annexed Western Sahara, China annexed Paracels & Spratly Islands in South China sea.*
O Allah please help these Elderly who are suffering😢😢🤲🏼so sad to see them suffer💔
The profit of the righteous is for life,
the income of the wicked is for sin.
The blame is not on Russia but the US evil Zionist regime who overthrew the former president of Ukraine and now look how life is be coming very hard
Why are people so certain that their side is morally right? Maybe they are wrong, maybe they should sacrifice.
If the first two world wars started in Europe, why not the third?
Germany ain’t ready yet. You know world wars are their main flex
I think the WWII started in Africa especially the Horn of Africa
Very sad for poor people but especially the elderly they need rest at this age not this type of trouble.
USA has another idea
The Russian border is a wall, against which NATO is trapping civilians. Russia hasn’t moved, NATO has, how is this Russia’s fault?
There is no such thing as a separate Ukrainian people. The state of Ukraine is an artificial creation and a fluke of history that should be grateful to Russia for allowing it to exist.
Russia waits for hard freeze so tanks don’t sink into Ukraine fields Russia will conquer Ukraine before spring thaw …weak and senile US President makes world unstable
ITS VERY BAD WHICH TYPES OF PEOPLE ARE RULING SEE HOW OLD PEOPLE SUFFERING AND CRYING MAKES ME CRY PLEASE ALREADY MANY MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES DESTROYED BY INHUMAN AND CRUELS RULERS ATLEAST FROM NOW THINK OF INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS PLEASE PLEASE 😢 😢😢😢😢.
Run away
God help that man’s wife. So sad on both sides
Ukraine needs to build a border wall (between Ukraine and Russia), the way Israel built their border wall. That is the only thing that will dramatically increase the levels of peace in Ukraine.
Ukrainians should be more pragmatic, Russians and Ukrainians have so much in common: They both are Slavic, Christian Nation’s, follow the same Orthodox Christian Church, same Culture & Traditions, have been living millenniums together peacefully, etccc – SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM NOW ???.
Why distance yourselves from your very own Slavic Christian brethren ?. Why fall prey to the greed of the Power hungry Power’s ?.
Moreover do the Ukrainians really think that NATO/USA will really actively join hands with them to confront the Russians if a War breaks out ?. If they are thinking they will then they are living in a Dreamland, USA will never be a part of this as China will use this opportunity to immediately invade Taiwan and USA will never ever risk such a scenario and futher more nobody want’s to participate in a definite loosing War. It’s for the Ukrainians to think wisely and take a long lasting decision for their own future good.
It has been dangerously gambled to bring NATO to Russia’s doorstep, obviously the Russians are not to sit idly by
These social constructs are disgusting.
War is always a losing game, no matter who reaches out to the end alive. Suffering wins.
Russia doesn’t like Biden and gang using Ukraine as a laundering Destination. Go Putin
💔
Don’t russians have enough land why more greediness
*Muscovy (so-called “russia”), which has roots from Golden Horde, is an eternal aggressor! Since the ancient time the ancient Ukrainian state protects the eastern borders of Europe from enemies, including Muscovites! Europe needs to help to protect together!*
War hasn’t even started
Look at the people in Ukraine. Slums, hardship, men leave the country for better prospects, woman had to sell their honors. Now look to Crimea, life is good. So dont worry, soon the Russian will liberate you from the lies and hardship. Good life will come back again. Ukrainians had been lie that after uprising their lives will be better and they can join EU. How many years had past. Time to wake up.
West pretend care refugee human right biggest lier they have made riot chaos in middeast made million people of middeast exit from their home
Separatists are always rebels against the legitimate government. The victims are always innocent people. Some imperialist fuel these separatists with dollars simply for the sake of individual idealism.
The widows, the weak, the poor, the desperate… do not be deceived, their tears and hardships have been seen, their prayers received. The Lord Our GOD says Vengeance is MINE. Judgement is at the door. Repent from your wicked ways before its to late….
Howitzer bombarding “get away Russians” is now daily routine for 7 years, and Brusels is expecting with help of eager NATO to persuade the people being shot at to embrace Kyiv with love. Strange politicks assumptions. Now Ukrainian common man expect for his bombardment, that how the jurnalist from the west see it, to be supplied with gas and coal, or straight out electricity, and delivery shoud come out of Russia, the same parts of the world Kyiv is bombarding on daily basis. Al Jazeera is a truth seaking news house, no bis, or it is inspired by BBC or CNN to often,
MIHAILO KUPIT POPIT 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Ukrainians will be impoverished if it didn’t stop the gov. Another sacrificial lamb of the US.
The world is in turmoil and fighting is slowly taking place on earth
Please Russia . Invade Ukraine as soon as possible to help these families so they can visit easily their family members.
USA loves families to suffer.
The Ukrainian government cannot even provide its citizens with adequate health care so people have to go to the rebel side to get medical treatment. All you need to know about the current state of Ukraine and why people want to join Russia.
This is all Zelensky’s Ukraines fault.
Nobody feels safe in Ukraine until Putin is alive , Ukraine must do more to get NATO involved in the fight against Russian aggression , I believe that NATO forces must be ready to defend Ukrainian territory .
@Fuad Basharahil I dont think Ukraine should join NATO now because it will only make the Russians more aggressive. But you have to have 2 braincells to realize that Russia is clearly the aggressor. If Ukraine wants to join the EU or NATO that’s up to them to decide.
@Nas coca its up to them but also they dont disturb people in donets
@Nas coca The big aggressor is nato and united states. Sit down and use your brain how many wars they went and destroy countries
@Fuad Basharahil may a good therapist help you.
@Nas coca also you need to visit brain doctor to heal u
If Ukraine didn’t believe NATO and allow it to start expanding there, it wouldn’t have many of current issues.
You do know that the US toppled the government of Ukraine in 2014. You do know that they installed a Pro US (NATO) regime in Kiev. Right ?
I support Ukrainian Sovereignty. No buts. If Russia invades Ukraine – NATO has to become kinetic with Russia Presumably. But As we speak, hundreds of nuclear tipped missiles on both sides 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 are on 15 minutes launch ready alert.
With the real and terrifying prospect of the use of these weapons…..Do we for the greater good of mankind sacrifice Ukraine to Putin? Avert and avoid direct war which could lead to Armageddon.
Or
do we say this far and no further! If the Russians come then we repel them as per NATO war plans and it’s order of battle which, ultimately calls for the use of – tactical nuclear weapons on advancing Russian tank columns! If you follow that to its logical conclusion, that, I imagine – ends in the 🎈going up and intercontinental thermo nuclear war ☢️
So
I can’t decide – I love the Ukraine and Ukrainian people – I also reluctantly admire and respect Putin.
Do we let Russia walk into Ukraine and do nothing to prevent the potential for nuclear conflict
OR….
Do we fight regardless of what that actually may result in ?
I have no idea what the right thing to do is anymore 🤔
Ready the weapons of massive death
War Is want Russia wants
The problem is not that ukraine doesnt allow people from the “DNR” and “LNR”. The problem is that the DNR and LNR refuse to open checkpoints. Usually, a few thousand people cross the border every day, but because dnr and lnr only allow people with special alloweness to go to ukraine, that number has shrunk to a few hundred. And i think thats funny, because the border with russia has been opened by DNR and LNR for 5 months now, although’ the covid situation there is a lot worse. Means, many people forget that ukraine needs special registration too and than cant go trough.
Its sad that a war brings suffering to these people. God bless them.
Freedom for the Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙌 freedom 🙌 for the Ukraine 🇺🇦 .no war please 🙏 😢 virus are killing people and Russia 🇷🇺 wants a war . So 2022 my be the start of world 🌎 war 3 .????? .
We want a peaceful world.
This all started with the euromaidan coup. The U.S. encouraged it.
They could have had legitimate elections the next year…But no…
All bcoz sociopath and murderer putin
Poor people what a country to live, it’s surprising anyone would want to raise children there
Do you know that on Ukrainian held Donbass, last election 2019 the presidential candidate who came first was BOYKO pro russian
