“Why do you need this? Why do you need thousands of deaths again?”
Fighting between the Ukrainian government and Russian-backed separatists in Donbas has increased during 2021, and there are now fears that Moscow is planning a large-scale invasion. With tens of thousands of Russian troops newly deployed to the border, #FlyOnTheWall speaks to the Ukrainian men and women on the front line readying themselves for invasion.

These ppl are warmongers
Peace must be maintained, Putin may be responsible for this bloodshed and establishment of peace with bold heart 🙏🙏🙏
Ukraine to the people of Ukraine my name is Steve Allen Brewer I’m from the USA and if I had away there or the funds I’d join you id fight for you
You can join as volunteer, if you want to. US does not care if you would
Russia hasn’t learned a tough enough lesson from when they picked a fight with the Germans. I guess Russia really is a suicidal country. I guess the Russians constantly need a reminder of how bad wars go for them.
If the west can’t send soldiers to Ukraine then more money should send for Ukraine to recruit his own people to defend the land
Ukraine! God is with you…God Bless! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
Al Jazeera is biased. I’m not Ukrainian or Russian, but isn’t FAIR and IMPARTIAL journalism about telling the stories from both side? Why just visit the Ukrainian side and make the other side as if they’re an unknown alien species that can’t be reached?
This is so stupid – I’d rather play Call of Duty on my console than be there for real – it sucks!
If you don’t have a house there, why do you call it ‘your territory’ ????- this is such primitive thinking…
Vice versa — it’s primitive to think that you have to protect only your house while you live in a City in a Country. If everybody in your country thought the same way you do, even a very small invasion force would be enough to win a war against your country. And as the saying goes: woe to the conquered.
They are defending their country, Ukraine. Are you a primitive thinker?
funny thing that i find your thinking pretty primitive
@Yuriy Seliuk the feeling is mutual. I don’t care what you think, troll. Why are you wasting your time and replying?
Frontline is a dangerous lines
Never forget the starvation of Ukraine that the soviets did back when they were in control. Keep fighting the good fight! and stomp out communism, along with Putin’s regime of returning to that Soviet era, 👊
“Never forget the starvation of Ukraine that the soviets did back when they were in control.”
Wtf are you talking about you historically illiterate moron?
Was Stalin Russian? No he was Georgan…
Was Vlas Chubar the one who personally committed Holodomor Russian?
No he was UKRANIAN…
The Stalins inncer circle aka 17th politburo was filled with Gerogans, Russians, Ukranians and even a Pole.
Its makes sense for a fascist reactionary to defend Ukraine and to be illiterate when it comes to history.
@Great Dude nitpick all you want; the soviets starved ukraine to eliminate all free thinkers. Pretty much all communist dictatorships do this, doesn’t matter his ethical background. He is a communist leading the russians; a evil stain on human history.
@Дядя Федя Russians also collaborated with Nazis, check РОА (Russian freedom army), Nazis were the only choice to fight agains bolsheviks. But later on Wester Ukraine did fought both USSR and Nazis. so shut your mouth kid
@Great Dude Check golodomor 32-33 big history professor and check up with psychologist mate
@Yuriy Seliuk
“Check golodomor 32-33 big history professor and check up with psychologist mate
”
Yeah you have no facts.
Stalin was Georgan, Vlas Chubar was Ukranian so deal with it.. It was Ukranian people killing Ukranian people on the orders of Georgan man.
Allah bless the Ukrainians fighting to protect their way of life, people, and distinct culture.
Protect their country
We, Ukrainians, here hope that someday we can give the autonomy to Crimean Tatar in the liberated Crimea
Excellent Coverage. Thank you. 🙏
The old man is right your rulers are wrong by obeying the lizards USA and fight against your brothers in the end they will run and live you alone. Don’t matter the difference you should have sit down and talk for peace always so you’ll have better live with your families…
Another world war on the horizon. I think its plausible once the first domino is tipped in either Ukraine or Taiwan.
that cat is brave
The most that can be done is verbal threatening, economic sanctions, sports and status isolation….
I just want to ask a quick question (I know YouTube is probably not the best place). Any who. From little what I read: Ukraine after separation wanted to voluntarily join NATO, but Putin interprets this as security risk to Russia. Putin probably tries to persuade Ukraine to not join NATO. But that didn’t work so Putin then creates a separatist group within Ukraine and are trying to take Ukraine back to Russia. Is this about right? Does any one care to give further explanation?
Crimea was never an original.part of Ukraine, soviet gave it to Ukraine. Upon independence agreement was to allow continuous lease of the ONLY seaport access of Russia into Mediterranean. All was good, until a coup backed by CiA/NATO unsurp the then Govermrnt.
Crimea voted in referendum preferring autonomous governance within Ukraine..
Ukraine should stop trying to be NATO. or EU . Just be oneself, Neutral , Non Aligned Nation. Would hv solved the headache.
Its about money. Tjhernohiv hase shurelie have to do some thing with it. What could be strategic position..now in strategic cyber crime. Youre all having one foot at the grave yard.

A little about the region where the war with Russia.
1) In late 2013 and early 2014, the then President of Ukraine Yanukovych sold to Putin and canceled plans for European integration of Ukraine.
2) In protest against these actions in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, young people, students, boys and girls came to the square (Independence Square) with the flags of Ukraine and the European Union to encourage President Yanukovych to return to Ukraine’s European integration.
3) Students are brutally dispersed from the square by the police, which causes great anger among residents of Kyiv and other regions.
4) With each passing day, more young and politically active people come to Kyiv and they set up tents on the square and want to stay there until Yanukovych returns to European integration.
5) Constant attempts of the authorities to disperse the Maidan with the use of force and provocations begin.
6) People on the square start building barricades and repel police attacks.
7) Hundreds of thousands and sometimes more than a million people come to the voluntary rally on the Maidan to show that they are against President Yanukovych’s government.
8) The authorities are beginning to bring to Mariinsky Park as if people in power, (a small explanation, the vast majority of these people were brought with promises of money and free food and alcohol).
9) The first killings on Independence Square begin.
10) People are not leaving the square and are already demanding the release of Yanukovych and his government.
11) The government adopts dictatorial laws that restrict the possibility of free movement.
12) Mass executions of people by Yanukovych’s government begin.
13) The people begin to seize administrations in central and western Ukraine, demanding that Yanukovych and his government resign and appear in court.
14) Yanukovych makes some concessions to opponents. but Yanukovych at the same time begins to export their own property to Russia, it was dozens of trucks. Gold, jewelry, works of art, secret and corrupt documents, black accounting and cash ….
15) Yanukovych flees to Russia and asks Russia to deploy troops to quell the protest.
16) There are changes in the government and parliament, it becomes known that along with Yanukovych, almost all the leadership of the security forces fled to Russia. Many paper and electronic data on government crimes against Maidan protesters were also destroyed.
17) The struggle for seats in the new parliament and the restoration of the power vertical begins.
18) Russia holds protests in Crimea and begins to incite the population of Crimea against Ukraine.
19) The new government is still disorganized and does not know what to do with it.
20) Russia captures the administration in the Crimea with its military who removed from the uniform all insignia, thus destroys the lines of communication with Ukraine. (Crimea is peninsula) besieges Ukrainian military bases. Putin said at length that it was local but later confirmed that it was indeed Russian troops.
21) Under the muzzles of machine guns, the Crimean parliament votes for a referendum.
22) Kyiv does not want a war with Russia and calls on Western countries to intervene and stop Russia, Western leaders will only express in the media that they are concerned.
23) The population of Crimea that supports Ukraine is severely punished, thrown behind bars, maimed, confiscated property, and killed and evicted from the peninsula.
24) A pseudo-referendum is being held in Crimea, in which representatives of official European countries as well as Ukraine are not allowed.
25) Ukraine constantly appeals to the signatories of the Budapest Memorandum (the Treaty under which Ukraine renounces its nuclear arsenal and provides it with security guarantees and home-based protection of territorial integrity), the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Russia.
26) Ukraine is blocking the supply of water to Crimea through an artificial channel and electricity.
27) Russia begins provocations in eastern Ukraine.
28) Kyiv begins to actively oppose provocations in the east.
29) The first armed clashes between the authorities of Ukraine and Russian mercenaries begin under the chairmanship of former Russian General Intelligence Officer Girkin and traitors in the city of Slavyansk.
30) Girkin loses the city of Sloviansk and Russia begins to saturate eastern Ukraine with its armed forces and mercenaries from the local population offering money or threatening terrible consequences for them or their loved ones if they refuse to cooperate.
31) The Ukrainian army at that time was almost 90% incompetent, but due to the huge support of the population of Ukraine who provided almost everything from laces to armor for the military, the Ukrainian army is beginning to repel Russia in eastern Ukraine.
32) The territories occupied by Russia in the east are shrinking and Russia is beginning to introduce more of its permanent military units to fight the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian volunteers.
33) Ukraine constantly provides the world with evidence of Russia’s direct aggression and in response hears that they are very concerned. Then begins the supply of non-military aid such as medicine, tent blankets ….
34) A positional war against Russia is being established in eastern Ukraine.
I can tell you a lot more if you want …
@Роман Коваль please. Do. Tjernohiv. How is the water running. From the capital.
@Роман Коваль ive seen piktures. At a scene. I know what they Mean.
Like a shooting game
Mir ljudi mir boze daj mir
Go Ukraine go! Keep up the journalism Al Jazeera on places the UAE doesn’t go to.
Peace.. Peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Isn’t “news” without balance just propaganda? There’s always 2 sides and I want the opportunity to see the other view, to judge for myself who I think is right and who wrong. I don’t want Aljazeera, or RT, deciding for me. It’s a pity news channels act like propaganda channels.
For Ukrainians, America is using your country to surround Russia, and this means war in your lands…you can make peace with Russia if you become neutral and send all US and Nato troops away. I wish there is no war but Russia will not let US missles to be on Ukraine border and if you let this happen then you must be prepared to lose, NATO or US have already told many times they dont want to go to war with Russia, they want others to fight with RUssia as they watch your lands destroy and lives lost. Wake up!
Ukrainians are brave people. Lots of support and respect to 🇺🇦 from a 🇩🇪🇹🇷
And Russia 🇷🇺
lol
May god be with you all I pray for peace my heart aches for this to end it doesn’t need to happen just live in peace enough is enough god is with you all
Dear Ukrainians, NATO & EU doesn’t do anything for the wellbeing of others!!
It’s a sad situation for sure. However, Ukraine’s government is in shambles. Ukraine did some shady things. Those consequences are why they’re like they are now. They only way for that government to prop itself back up again is by accepting NATO/American aid in the form of cash, weapons, military bases. Those military bases WILL house missile systems that are a direct threat to Russia. Russia has no choice, especially at this point, but to take over. This can only do good for the people and bring them a better quality of life than they have now. The people of Ukraine have nothing to fear from Russia just the shady scum politicians (very Biden like people) of Ukraine.
Is it possible for foreigners to volunteer to fight with the Ukrainians? I’ll be DAMNED if I’m gonna sit back and let the Ruskis take the rest of Ukraine without a fight!!! 👍😎
Brothers vs Brothers isn’t good!
I thought this was VICE with the journalist that went straight to it
After covid , famine and war machines started
So an ex Russian state, full of RUSSIANS, were tricked into hating Russia, by the Americans, and the world is supposed to feel bad for them???? If you’re weak enough to allow Americans from 7000 miles away to talk you into a civil war with your own kin, then you probably shouldn’t be your own independent country. You’re nothing but a potential puppet state and a threat to your bigger brother.
With economy in ruins and corruption on every level,with no jobs prospects Uktanian men go fight getting paid for it . Eight years shelling and killing people of Donbas.
Ok, this is getting out of hand. We need a new insult to the intelligence of mankind.
We need to work out a strategy of who would respond and how if and when USA attacks mainland China considering US troops have been multiplying in Taiwan, threatening to invade mainland China.
We are seeing what is “balancing” aka “great power competition” or “pushing back” in geo political terms . US invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya. West put West supporting government in Ukraine which resulted in “balancing” so Russia and China can’t just sit their waiting to be conquered this would create too much imbalance so Putin invaded Crimes and Putin supported Assad to balance things in middle east. Putin and China will tell middle east countries you can’t depend on US and they should normalize with Assad and Putin will tell middle east countries they must tell US to leave Syria so middle east countries can invest in and rebuild Syria. China also balancing by militarizing South China Sea and investing in artificial intelligence and hypersonic weapons and China may join Russia and send troops to middle east to counter Turkey because Turkey supports Uighurs. Chess on global scale being played.
Ukraine is not fighting separatists, they are fighting Russian mercenaries, see Wagner.
I don’t get it, why do the Ukranians allow freaking grandmothers to be on the front line larping as soldiers? What good is that 60 year old woman going to be in combat?
I’m a little confused. The people in the video are Ukrainians, right? But the civilians spoke Russian, even the soldier who went home spoke Russian, and the rest spoke Ukrainian. I do not get it .
so now you get how “opressed” russian speaking ukrainians, so they decided to fight russia
I AM 100 PERCENT PRO RUSSIA AND PRO DONBASS, NOW SUCK ON THAT BOI
Russia 🇷🇺 #1 Not Nato
Well done Al Jazeera!
Would you please make some reports like this in Syria ?
Terror and horror what they going through, and snipers are shooting . That war has just started days ago and the world is just watching. Where is Un / NATO forces?
***SLAVĂ UKRAINEI !***EROILOR SLAVĂ !***
If I could afford it I would be over fighting for Ukraine
Keep yr head up USA got yr BACk
🙏
I’ve never seen a granny soldier. That was surprising.
-When i see this and other video from that war i undustand how hard it was for our grandparents , not only that , it make me undustand how easy and beautiful life we the rest enjoy in our homes beds and walking safety on aleee front of our house . How we don t must afraid of a bullet flying can hit us …..we are so lucky …
-I was so sorry for that old woman feeding animal, they need peace they are old , can t relocate ca n t run away ……..i pray for them
This war will destroy the world 🌎
It dosen’t matter how bad you think yakunuich was he was elected under the international election committee. Forcing him out is breaking democracy. 2014 keiv overturned the pro Russian goverment. Shortly after this pro russian Ukrainians took over their government in thier respective areas(donbas). Every word of these video’s is bs but even if you believe this you must admit that solving the problem of the separatists takes all of putin leverage away.
Yet..noone is even trying
Ukraine fight for your country and your futfuture!! Be strong, be smart and fight with all your have, it’s your country!!
Make little king Puti pay for every Ukrainian that dies.
Americans are behind you even if the politicians wont stand for your right.
🇷🇺 let’s go
Ukraine have nuks
🇺🇸❤🇺🇦
Even with the help of NATO, they will not win against Russia.
Ukraine escalated the situation along the contact lines again, once Nord Stream 2 was completed. Ukraine doesn’t want to lose billions of dollars from transit fees for Russian gas. The separatist would benefit more from rebuilding than to engage in a prolonged war! Think about my dear brainwashed sheep!
the time to end war has long passed. truth defeats the lawless man.
Which companies should I invest in to make money in this war?
its disgusting how USA are trying to achieve their goals 🤢🤮
Ukraine will retake its territory DonbassRegion from Russia just like Azerbaijan took back NagornoKarabakh and the Zengezur Region from Armenia.
Soon Georgian will retake back Ossetia, Palestianian the whole of Palestine and the Kashmiri the whole of Kashmir and Jammu Region from India.
Where would Azerbaijan be without isrealy weapons or did you forget how they stole Christian land.
Very humane report, this is how actually our frontline looks today. This is our country, our soldiers, our reality today.

I’m Russian and I fully support the will of the people of Ukraine to determine their own future! This whole war is sickening and unjustifiable to me!
traitor
Do also support nato taking over Ukraine
@Aatif Rehman That is a decision for Ukrainian people to make.
Not all russians are bad, you are not the one who invaded.
Слава Україні! Смерть російським наци!
🇺🇦 ❤️ 🇬🇪
USA wants to give “lethal aid” to Ukraine, while Ukraine passes laws that are oppressive to the people of Donbas? If Ukraine’s government never wanted war, there would be no war – just like that famous saying by the old lady Rothschild “if my sons never wanted war there would be no war.”
Cannon fodder in a proxy war
Reading Anti-Russian pro-Nato comments is funny since they are filled with pure geopolitical illiteracy, historical illiteracy and hypocrisy.
1.) Russia didn’t invade Crimea… Russians living in Crimea (Majority) voted to join Russia… Thats it…
“They can’t do that muh Ukranian land”
Well ask US and Nato then about Kosovo, South Vietnam etc..
Funny how pro-US pro-Nato people can leave and secede from the rest of the country while pro-Russian people can’t..
Its almost like we already have a word for that called special pleading fallacy…
2.) “Muh Soviet Union, muh starvation”
Yes Ukranians were starved by Stalin a GEORGAN… Whats funny is that the person personally responsible for the genocide of the Ukranians according to Ukranian court in 2010 besides Stalin was….. Vlas Chubar a UKRANIAN Revolutionary…
So yeah blaming Russians in 2021 for crimes that UKRANIAN thug did on the orders of Georgan dictator is silly.
Its hard to come with the terms that Revolutionary pro-Stalin thugs from Ukraine murdered their own people.
Its much easier to point the finger at someone else…
Ukraine has grandma’s on the front line? Don’t let Putin watch this.
Little by little you guys will loose all. Whatever is lost never will b yours again with out war, real war, all out war
Peace is all they want. Is that to much to yearn for?
🕊
В коментах есть адекватные украинцы? Может скажем им? Видимо никто не знает что случилось в Украине на самом деле
Пустое… Они не понимают кто с кем воюет и за что… 99% гонят чепуху про Путина и возврат СССР.
@Gwyn Bleys я начинаю паниковать от глупости людей и все небыло бы так грустно если бы я сама не была в Украине, хах, но и тут никто не видит, особенно в русофобном Львове
@anasatan Во Львове очень много русскоязычных, было бы ты там, то херни не несла….. Да и россияне уже уебывают с рашки, даже во Львов кстати. Привет новым законам про милицию, вы блять еще немного скоро и вас гордых рашистов начнуть сажать за экстремизм)))) вот тогда и услышите мой громкий смех западенца…..
@Yuriy Seliuk вот примерно таких как вы я имею ввиду
@Yuriy Seliuk проблема как раз именно в такой вот ненависти как у Вас, Юрий)
ANY MAJOR PANDEMIC WILL NOT THE END OF HUMAN….WAR WILL DESTROY LIFE..
Imagine ur country must fight againts country with military power number 2, that really scary u fighting in frontline
I fear that a great many fine young eastern European men are going to die in this coming conflict. I pray that cooler heads prevail.
Ukraine is struggling? good
Why Yemen people are become forgotten nobody talk about them don’t forget they are human beings like us 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 god bless them 😭 I am not from there but I can feel their pain 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Western news won’t report this because then they’d have to tell the truth.
We got your back if Putin does anything stupid !
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 SURE 👌👌👌👌
No they are not separatists they are just fighting to survive under attacks from Ukrainian fascists.
Jeez, wasn’t illegally annexing Crimea enough? Putin is a monster.
US media is just a constant stream of political propaganda have to watch foreign media to see the news.
oh that cat 🙂
It seems like a dystopian movie
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Pink camo guy wimped out.
May those innocent people remain in peaceful again 🙏🙏 war is not a answer at all 🙏🙏🙏 may the war never happen 🙏🙏
Ukraine 🙏🙏❤️
NATO should be held responsible for Ukrainian suffering.
Interview the Russian too
More like a smear on the toilet paper.
