The regions in eastern Ukraine recognised by Russia as independent extend far beyond areas under rebel control.
This is creating more uncertainty for those living near the frontline of the country’s long-running separatist conflict.
With the Minsk agreement now in tatters – Ukraine has declared Avdiivka and other towns and villages along the frontline, restricted areas.
Al Jazeera’s Hoda Abdel-Hamid reports from Avdiivka, one of the frontline towns in eastern Ukraine, where the threat of invasion is now exposing social divides.

What if this is a distraction, and the real target is Odessa.
The real real target is Taiwan.
They will move to odessa in the coming months
Aljazeera English sounds like a spokesperson for the US president, i mean, come on, seriously! you call this a news headline from an unbiased news network!
Jazera is western tool. They will report news according to western methods
@Random videos how can israel kill its own people terrorist. Funny they are israel tools
@Random videos all international human rights organization have agreed that it’s Israel terrorizing Palestine and I want to assure you they have referred Israel to as the new apethaid. So it’s the terrorists Israel killing the natives of the land
@Umar Bbosa Hahaha human rights?? What a joke !!! they are just puppies 😂 😂
We need them in Myanmar but they are not available because they don’t get any benefits from Myanmar…
You need some education please go to school..
@Random videos so what benefits are they getting from Gaza or Palestinian territories???🤣🤣
You are such a joke if you think that the innocent HAMAS bribes the UN😂
𝚄𝚔𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎 is our true angel! 🇰🇷💖🇺🇦
@Alecx Peso you dont have any knowledge about middle east. Who created isis, al nusra and other terrorist organisation. It was usa with its allies israel. Do your research well. Your problem you are listening to western media. Use your head to research u will get to know usa and its allies who really are?
@Alecx Peso the way they are doing actions in weak nation especially middle east
@Alecx Peso dont be fool middle east doesnt like usa
@LEGEND middle east and eastern Ukraine is two different things!!! Ukranians has the right to defend itself from agressor occupying their territory. Its simple logic. bro even there are separatists in the some regions of Ukraine, it doesnt justify that Russia took over them. also them joining NATO was their last resort cause Russia occupied Crimea.
@mustache gurl dont forget who started that war it was ukraine maidan revolution which was organised by usa. Dont complain. Russia will defend ethnic russians speaking in eastern ukraine
Due to Covid, war will be held online
My wife is Russian. Tonight I’m going to give it to her. You get my drift?
Full support Ukraine my brothers! Thank you for helping against Iran! 🇦🇿❤🇺🇦
Withdraw sanctions – Suspend NATO objectives – Demilitarize the area – Go back to negotiations.
Or be arrogant and risk peoples’ lives.
Either way, you will be judged accordingly and will not gain sympathy through biased propaganda and finger-pointing.
Good luck!
Funny how western news ignores Israels invasión and stealing of land
Fake news. Russia tried for 8 years but they kept on hunting Russian speaking people. They looked for it.
Aljazeera stop spreading sedition
4 sure Ukraine government will be a loser with all supporters in behind. We know that who’s putin 👍
Russia is the aggressor and wants to bring back its evil empire back ! Putin leave Ukrain alone !
Reclaiming historical land eh, in that case Buryad Republic, Kalmyk Republic, Tararstan, Yakutia and all the republics should also reclaim their historical land/independence from Russia.
They can try.
That’s what China does too. The 9 dash Fake Line in South China Sea. They claim historical right. They even build military bases next to our islands in a Fake sandpit.
They lost in Hague Arbitral Ruling. Ukraine should bring Russia to Court.
As a Kalmyk I can’t agree with you. If our Buryad brothers keep living on their old land , we invaded and conquered land between rivers Volga and Don about 250 years ago . So if we would ever claim our own land that land will be far east in Xinjiang region of China and Western Mongolia and Eastern Kazakhstan. Not in Eastern Europe.
I fully support Russia, a true friend of Africa.
You are mistaken Russians have only one friend fellow slavs from Europe
@LEGEND Putin is just emulating his hero… Stalin. How many people did Stalin kill ? If Putin starts bombing Kiev he will be killing Russians as well as Ukrainians but hang on Putin says Ukraine is Russian soil …. so how many Russians will he kill?
@Adam Said You are wrong. Look what they did to Turkic people, Chechens and Circissians. They didn’t just enslave and genocided them, they even erased their culture and changed their identity into Russian. The West, Russia, India, China are all the same evil because they think they are racially superior and they are fighting against the System of the Almighty God. Islam and Sharia. So stop your nonsense.
@Tahsin Kaya I’m Muslim my self by the way.
@Tahsin Kaya
Good answer.
By the way, I don’t care if Russia invades Ukraine.
It’s not our business.
For good peace better Ukraine to melt in Russia ❤️
So go to Russia. Siberia is waiting for you
Interesting
Russia has interests in many parts of the world. My strategy would be to eliminate the Russian presence in those countries. An example would be Syria which Putin cannot claim is Russian territory so has no right to be there.
@Sergei Kharin Russia may have been invited by a murderous Assad to help him suppress his people and defeatcan uprising. But Russia has a larfe contingent of warships in Syrian ports… its Med outpost… but not for long.
@Grumble Wharfcastle I’m freaking out how the US propaganda is brainwashing people ! Your evil regime will fall one day !
@Sergei Kharin probably… and one day the sun will ballon into a red giant and swallow the Earth…. something to look farward to.
@Ambotsa Imo Ukraine is a corrupt government backed by American government that doesn’t care one bit about civilians in any country
@Cool Mark
Which country has no corrupt government?
My country is worst but we the people do our own thing. In times of War we are 1 united. We are divided by the vast Pacific ocean, 100+ languages, 200+ ethnic tribes. We have fanatics both sides Islam and pro China. We have rebels hiding their skin in the mountains and government supported and armed by Russiaand China. The big difference majority don’t support them Commies and we will fight to the end. We cut off the balls of Magellan in his circumcision/circumnavigation fantasy.
Ukraine must live peaceful between NATO n Russian 🙏 last option 🇮🇳
Russia and China need to be boycotted complete cut off from the rest of the free world
Thanks for reporting with integrity. Real people at risk.
they clearly said it at the end, there biggest problem is winning over the hearts of the civilians, if the civilians want RUSSIA let them have it, or does democracy only count when it is for what you want ?
So not definitely the people living in far away west, who were escalating non stop for war with powerful Nuclear Russia.
You can see the evil oozing out of Putin
Russia will bring peace to twin bros ..drink vodka 🍾 🥂 🎉
I guess all this free time Ukraine had to join the capitalist world they just sat around waiting for Putin to show back up, this is biden country Hunter bidens buddies, well corruption follows acceptance of a take-over so, I don’t feel so bad the people are OK with this in Ukraine…
Why didn’t they evacuate
How long?
Humanity At Disparate !
that is not rocket attack, stupid reporer…
“And you, Russia, don’t you fly like a fiery troika that no one could cross? The road smokes beneath you, the bridges rumble, everything falls behind and nothing overtakes you. “Did the lightning fall from heaven? What does this frightening, frightening chase mean?”
If we were to believe Gogol, Russia needs neither modernization nor the adaptation of the mujic to the free election regime. He needs to be punched. With words or with a whip. So he needs an iron fist. That’s what Gogol thinks, we realize from the second volume of Dead Souls.
Western are suffering from Stockholm syndrome…. They don’t want to upset Russia because they think there is a chance Putin might change. ….And, Putin always leave some crumbs (hopes) for Western countries. …. Western leadership is weak and no future plan. …. West has no principles to fight and die for. Just hiding behind article 5……Authoritisum is the biggest threat to Democracy.
So sad! 😰😥 Stand united Ukraine! 💪🙏 Say NO to BULLIE$!!! ⛔❌
You mean usa war monger
@LEGEND You Never Say Anything.
But Ukraine isn’t united to begin with… payed or not the separatists are there and they are Ukrainian citizens.
Who is the bully, the one who wants to break-up a relationship on the one who locks their spouse in the basement so they can’t?
Russia has the right to defend itself
On Ukrainian territory… 😀
And who attacked them? Nobody… Russia wants one thing: a new USSR (size, not the political system)
lol they do but attacking and bullying Ukraine for years is NOT IT. Ukraine joining the NATO is their last resort but yeah Putin occupied the Crimea Region. What do u expect Ukranians do? DO NOTHING? u r stupid if u think like that!
@Joris Thijs yo lo llamaría, un Neo imperio ruso
Yeah, eastern Ukraine is full of brainwashed imbeciles. Muscovite propaganda goes through Muscovite language, exactly why Muscovy is so protective to its speakers, ten thousand of whom Muscovy has already killed in attempt.
রাশিয়া জিতে যাক,আমেরিকা নিপাত যাক।। আমেরিকা ও ইজরায়েল মুসলমানদের নির্মূল করার প্রচেষ্টা চালিয়ে যাচ্ছে। আমি মুসলিম হিসেবে আমেরিকা ও ইজরায়েল এর ধ্বংস কামনা করি মহান আল্লাহর কাছে।।আমিন
Don’t Afraid Russia. You go Russia. Live long Russia..
My father’s second wife is Ukrainian, from Zaporizhzhia. She and her whole family, are mad at the Ukrainian government for the current situation. Her son, a 36-year-old Ukrainian, even said to me: “I can’t wait to be done with this madness from Kyiv, and I hope that Zaporizhia will become part of Russia also.” I was so confused since he is not Russian. But from the talk, I figured out that many Ukrainians do not support Ukrainian EU-Nato politics and would rather be a part of Russia. Crazy. o.O
Both governments suck balllllls
Your second mother
@Dubious Tale It is very clever to believe in polls in a country that is not a democracy, where the opposite position is punished with imprisonment.
@Dubious Tale Even due to polls showing it, I think people have to decide on a referendum. We (Norway) voted twice on the EU referendum, and both times we voted not to enter the union. I can’t say the same for NATO. We have been founding members since 1949.
@Smokedout33 yup !! They are delusional like their mr. poutine
1:51 Ukrainian army is in a difficult situation because many civilians don’t support it and they welcome the separatists and continue to support Russia? 🙄 How is that possible? 🤨 Aren’t EVERYBODY in Ukraine anti-Putin, EVERYBODY is ready to take a rifle in his/her arms and fight the invading Russians and if necessary dies for the idea of Ukraine joining NATO? I’m so surprised!!!! 😁 😆 😅
That’s revelling so the locals support the separissts
🇺🇦🙏🏼🇺🇦
Would it be that big of a deal if the Ukraine just makes a deal with the separatists? Give them the Eastern land they want? Or am I just being naive here?
Hi, can I have a part of your house & money, otherwise I will use violence, what is the big deal?
If they did NATO had no more interest in Ukraine and both east and west would abandon them.
If they do that, then 8 years from now they will do the same thing and get more land – communists are mean bullies.
@Teresa Areces You have a point. I am just being naïve.
@Teresa Areces American imperialism about to fall down
Russians do something about your Hitler.
Putin is more Dangerous than ( Covid-19 Viruses ) for Europe and European economy ! NATO must get tough on Putin , European Leaders must get United to Sanction all Russian banks, airlines, Russian companies , ban all Russian MPs from Traveling to EU , block their access to $,€ and £ , sanction and block all Putin’s oligarchs from accessing funds in Europe..and ( Freeze Their Bank Accounts ) Get tough on Putin and force him to get down on his knees and beg for mercy and talk with EU leaders ..!..!
For four letters Ukraine has to lost Four region 😶
Fire russia
You can brace for a russia invasion but do not forget, the killing shot will be the one coming from behind you.
No One can win The war?
NATO expansion is the reason for this crisis
No it aint, in fact as a Lithuanian i thank god every day that we are in NATO, we have a right to join any alliances we want to, we should not be sacrificed to Russia to appease them, we live in the 21st century, that nutjob shouldn’t just be given a green light to rebuilt his empire. While we looking at Ukraine, he is now officially incorporating, Belarus, they have a fake referendum over it this week, they didn’t plan to join Russia, yet people there have to suffer a dictator because of the Russian support he gets and most Belarussians I know who participated in the protests were afraid to do anything because there was a constant fear of Lukashenko calling Russian troops for help, we all understand it in countries bordering Russia, Putin went nuts. You cant imagine how scary it is to see opinions like yours.
F. Russia and their dictator putin!
Al Jazeera support the West war junkies because Qatari gas will be alternative for Russian gas to Europe !!
I am from a country neighbouring Russia and our views on Russias imperialism is worse than you even see on Western media, this conflict is real and we have a right to defend our countries from a crazy imperialist like Puin who now even openly claims that we shouldn’t exist
@P well welcoming NATO is not a good defend strategy ! if u think your puppet president & west war junkies going to save you then you are mistaken ! look in this way that west is already invaded your country !
@01017400 1st we are not a presidential republic, he is just a representative figure, we could end our conversation here after this assement of you knowledge, but i can continue, we are a parliamentary democracy, we had a variety of different political powers with different political views over the years, i have observed elections in different parts of the country several times, i trust our system (we have several volunteer observing organisations, mostly attended by university students, but anyone can register 🙂. We would mostly do prevention of vote buying, we used to have a big problems with for ex. local politicians in smaller towns bribing alchoholics and similar thing, but i am happy to say that this practice is dying out more and more🙂. Also how exactly did this invasion happen? What changed? Russia is still our main trade partner and our views towards Russia has always been more strict and alert than the rest of the NATO as it is in all of the states neighbouring Russia in Europe. Especially after he gave that speech couple days ago about how our existence is just a mistake made at times when Russian empire/USSR was weak.
@P All i can say NATO & Zionist war party are not the solution they are the cause of every war ! they never really care about us except their money !
If you like Russia soo much take your Russian passport and move to Russia 🇷🇺
I fully agree go and join Putin and fellow killers
I literally thought the same thing if those people want to be a part of Russia so bad why don’t they just move to Russia why encourage the invasion of a nation?! How does no one see anything wrong with that like if you want to go to Russia so bad just move to Russia!! I don’t get it. But I’m from the US and I’m watching this unfold from a screen, I don’t understand the politics or why so many people want it to happen and obviously why some people don’t want it to happen.
War and killing is NEVER a Solution.
What can you expect from this state-sponsored media? Misinformation, twisted narrative, support of Ukrainian fascist regime. Aljazeera needs to be banned as soon as possible.
What was wrong with this video? They showed that a lot of these people in the east are brainwashed and it is true? How tf is Ukraine fascist? They had two normal elections, pro-russian party is still one of the biggest in parliament, no extremist groups got more than 1%, miss me with that bs
@P What? You must be a comedian. This is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard))) Respect for that)
@fedor novoselzev What exactly was a lie? Ukraines rada does not have a big pro-russian party? In reality right-wing groups dont even poll above 2% do you even know at all what is happening in Ukraine? And ofcourse people in east Ukraine are brainwashed, the rest of Ukraine just moved on and are living normally, including Russian speaking citizens, but these nutjobs are tearing up the country imagining the live in 1940s or smth.
@P I know what’s happening in Ukraine simply because I’m from Ukraine
Join NATO as frontline warzone, or be neutral not provoke your neighbour.
Ukraine Gov is sacrafice civilian for sweet2 NATO money
There is a reason that there is a ukrainian president not a russian one the people said freedom…..freedom from having our heritage destroyed….. just like the americans did to the indians….
congratulation Russia. go and invade the whole Ukraine now & the whole europe will be next.
Shane on you, akJ for putting out lies again. Isn’t there a Koranic condemnation against telling lies?
Kick the USA out from Ukraine and peace comes instantly
Russia💪💪💪 💪💪💪💪✊✊✊✊ I souport great Russia❤❤❤👈👈👈
western👹👹👹👹❌❌❌❌👈👈👈👈
Not easy @ all! When you are surround & hounded by wolves. On all sides. Every mother knows, good medicine might have to be shoved down a childs throat. Whenever they get better, maybe then hopefully they’ll thank latter.
Russian colonized&settled in various countries,now separatist settlers trying to join Russia like they did in crimea
Your sanctions will not deter Russia form protecting our national security with military force Russia has been open to diplomacy from day one as the record will show however Uncle Ma’am and his rainbow flag European zamezex partners who play the submissive role in that relationship foolishly have deluded themselves by believing we will accept western hegemonic policy towards us and agree to NATO expansion into Georgia and Ukraine we fully understand that no matter if it is Democrats or Republicans who are in power this intransigence on their part will not cease because it is the internal nature of the deep state apparatus in the US that is driving this belligerent behaviour towards us we have no choice other than to conduct our diplomacy with the help of our Valiant Armed Forces God bless our beloved leader Vladimir Vladimirovich Puti
Who cares they are the same people. The Slavic people originated in present Belarus and Ukraine. Then expanded West to former Germanic lands (Poland and Czechoslovakia former Prussia and Bohemia), South towards Italian/Latin, Albanian and Greek land (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia and Bulgaria).
And at last East into Northwest Asia (Finno-Ughric and Uralic lands) and onwards into North Asia.
Bulgarians are actually Turks who became gradually Slavic.

Dont forget it was Germany that fed Ukraine to the Russians with nordstream 2
The myopia and cowardice of NATO is depressing. How many refugees will there be? How could anyone trust NATO countries to honor their commitments? Wasn’t the territorial integrity of Ukraine assured by treaty when Ukraine voluntarily handed its nuclear weapons over to Russia? Didn’t the US sign the treaty?
Should they bomb Russia?
Okay it’s between Russia
Wait what’s Pakistan doing there ?
Minsk agreement… US/NATO ignored it
Sad for all, this is a shameful war, we are in 2022 and the stupidity of the communists still don’t know any better.
God help them all 🙏
president is to save his people and country when such trouble things will happen to his people he always has ideas how to escalate the situation. Someone else coat won’t protect you from cold so be prave sit with Putin exchange ideas how to stop this war. Westerners will not help Ukraine rether sweat talk on social media. 1 example, I’m from Somalia 30 years westerners promise us peace,but they were stealing the peice land of Somalia until we got good president Farmajo whom he knows while your enemy is in your home, win over him with Dignity because of his great offer now Somalia is the top 10 Great spy Intelligence in Africa with in 4 years. Live with your enemy, but don’t lay your self for ever.
The man was right. Whom are they fighting for? What are they fighting for?
Shame on The Ukrainian Government who destroyed such a beautiful country Ukraine. Switzerland speak 4 (four languages) and there are no conflicts among the Contons of Switzerland.
You can see in their eyes that they’re terrified
Wars and rumors of wars. Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon 🙏🏼❤️🕊REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
Those Ukrainian soldiers should retreat
Would this have happened if Petro Poroshenko was still in power?
Minsk Treaty
The Donbass region (Lugansk and Donestk) is no longer part of Ukraine since 2015.
It is from the Novarussya Republic
The only trouble maker in this world is USA
