In the second agreed corridor, the village of Buhas was expecting to receive people from the city of Volnovakha fleeing the war.
However, residents are hunkering down in bomb shelters as fighting continues all around them, making humanitarian evacuations nearly impossible.
The area is now under the control of Russian-backed rebel forces from Donetsk – just a few kilometres from the latest front line.
Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith reports from Donbas, Ukraine.

They are lucky to take over without strong presence of Ukrainian solider. Soon or later their dead body will go back where they belong.
This is basically like Russia invading the US during the civil war to support the south.
It wouldn’t have been supported than it ain’t supported now.
Z= zero = loosers.
Nice! Keep going!
NOTHING NEW. ALL ARE SHOWING OLD CLIPS AGAIN AND AGAIN. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IS THE ACTUAL SITUATION NOW.
Separatist ??? WTF Al Jazeera, you’re showing you’re real colors !?
You don’t separate with tanks, but with a referendum.
I think Russia wants Russian favoring people to stay, and get the ones that love the west to leave. I also think the ones favoring the west will never get to come back thus in Putins mind they got what they wanted admittance into the EU.
Zelensky doesn’t speak about civilians crisis. He just wants Nato & US on his side.
He is a clown. The US is playing him and he is playing the people.
putin is now puting people in prison for simply saying the word war.
For those who do not know what love is the Bible describes it for you, but of course being human we will never be able to love like this, but gives us something to strive to be.
1 Corinthians 13:4–8a (ESV)
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. I would say pick one at a time and work on being that one thing then move to the next maybe one day we will be able to love as the Bible describes.
Well done Russia
I’m hopeful these separatists are humane and decent enough human beings that they won’t attack innocent Ukrainian civilians, unlike the Russian military that’s supporting them.
No peace when dealing with Russia
Separatists are actually Russian soldiers in disguise….. Bloodymere RasPutin scheme….
Русские мамашки. бабушки, сёстры и братья когда вы получите весточку ”ПРОПАЛ Без Вести” задайте вопросс военкому – зачем в ешелонах с танками на Украину едут
армейские спецмашины-КРЕМАТОРИЙ
РАШИСТЫ ЗДОХНИТЕ ВСЕ а пока убито 10,000 , уничтожено 39 AirCraft, 40 helicopters, 269tanks
KILL ALL PUTLERS
Dont talk about humanity, the western are silence when Israel attack Palestine. Uraaaaaaaaa
ZZZZZZZZZZ
Good job Al Jazeera! Just make the reporter stand in the middle of the road with a car coming behind him. Standing a few feet to the side must have been impossible, right?
Zelensky and Sarkozy love wars because NATO and American weapons makers make billions by selling them arms. Those two war mongers have a common religion which treats Palestinians as less than humans.
Go Russia Go! 💪
An rare honest report in the MSM!
God Bless the people of Donbass
The fiery coloured horse is riding…
No country has ever survived NATO “assistance”.
NATO cares for no one.
NATO is basically USA’s tool for it’s imperialist empire
Always good to see how the fascists manipulate 2nd tier media, who haven’t a clue. Al Jazeera – even handed death to the Ukrainians. Disgusting.
this people are forced to stay at home by Ukrainian soldiers just to take shelters of women & children’s as a human shields against Russian army.
Shame on western propaganda, millions & millions of people were killed by US & it’s allies across the world like Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestinian but the civilized society & social media were silent on crimes done by western countries
today is the 8th of march, the WOMENS DAY in the ex- ussr…nice celebration for the women on the both sides of this stupid war…
Love Al Jazeera 👌Real News !
Can’t said the same about BBC and CNN …..All lies !
russian hiring mercenaries’ will create a more destabilized and uncontrollable region.
It will be a spinning vortex inviting a land grab of clans that may not like russians.
The USA may also buy mercenaries and when these ideologically different groups clash Russia will bare the burden on their border.
Russia depends on their Rail system to mobilize. If they focus too many resources on the west their ability to defend elsewhere is limited
Also Russia showed their hand
USA can sit back and take notes and experiment without sending troops.
Russia might have a terrorist problem shortly if they dont have strong boarders
Russian sport…india
But if they want to be free, let them free.
The West welcomes the courageous, hard working, brilliant people from everywhere especially those Pootin’ tosses away with his lies, while the Russian population declines under the tyrant.
Kamala Harris a woman of Indian descent is our vice president. One step away from president. She is one of the most powerful people on earth. Sundar Pichai born in India is the CEO of Google. Satya Narayana Nadella born in India is the CEO of Microsoft. Thousands of Indian and other immigrants from all over are becoming wealthy business people, here, and all have the right to vote in America. They all now grow and promote American policies. Ukrainian people may also join us and bring their courage and brilliance. This is democracy at work and the people with democracy will defeat totalitarianism because of this. People over tyrants, truth over propaganda and lies.
its only matter of time when Donbass rebels take all DNR/LNR territory back and ukrianian shelling will stop. Shelling/killing of innocent civilians by ukranian nationalists is the main reason why Russia has stepped in, 14000 people died since 2014 but NOBODY cared yet..they were “only” ethnic Russians.
I`m a Japanese citizen who lives faraway from Ukraine, so I tend to see this tragic situation as a military confrontation between Russia and Ukraine or a good buy VS a bad guy. But the Ukrainian situation is not so simple when I hear what is going on at the Village of Buhas. But one thing is clear that a lot of innocent civilians are victimized by this awful war, and those who are responsible should cease warfare immediately. Peace is the only justice everybody needs.
@Military Blog NATO wants its empire. Putin is defending its borders. Zelensky is being used. The weakest link must go first. NATO doesn’t care for Ukraine, just wants to expand its borders further
@S.A. u dimwit they were fighting ISIS when no one was doing anything. But Russia and the Kurdish
@Russell bumak Whether they are Russians, Americans or anybody else, it is a heinous crime if they kill innocnent civilians. But one thing is different. Iraq, Syria and Vietnam are despotic regimes which persecute their own people while the Ukrainian government was chosen by Ukrainian people in a democratic way, and Russia attempts to overthrow the legitimate government and slaughter Ukrainian noncombatant. The United States and Russia are not in the same shoes.
@PatTheRiot Which are the 1st and the 2nd most contries on earth?
@PatTheRiot I apologize, wasn’t meant as an insult
Billige Propaganda
The use of tanks is a reminder of the blitz krieg but logistics have changed including global awareness of the situation.
Nice piece seems so much better than BBC ABC CBC coverage Keep up the good work
No one ever speaks of the intolerance of the Ukraine against it’s pro Russian populace. They get treated worse than Trump supporters.
12345
Putin needs cannabis sativa or indica maybe indica will do him better no he should take sativa first and inhale a big cloud of it until he starts coughing hard it’ll make him rethink of what all he done
Traitors in my opinion. Anyone siding with Putin sides with evil in my opinion
Good Job Russia, liberate them from those Neo Nazis..
Not bad, I didn’t pick up on any explicit propaganda or bias, points of view, yes, but that is part of reporting. Good to see. I feel bad for the people of the Dunbas region though, they have been used as pawns. They have been fed nothing but propaganda, from the Kremlin and the west. The reasons that they believe they are fighting probably aren’t even true.
Ukraine is winning on social media while Russia is winning on battle field.
Russia – Putin STOP 👎👎👎
It seems that the Ukrainians are not afraid of Russian soldiers. They are ready to protest and stop the Russian soldiers. It’s not like in iraq,syria where people stay away from American soldiers because welcoming them can be bullets and gun . 😅
Now journalists are know where to get the truth now.
The fault lies with American troops withdrawn from Afghanistan. Someone said: we do not do nation building in non European countries like Afghanistan. Do it without making any such sweeping statements. It generates bad luck and unnecessary wars elsewhere.
Free Kashmir now
No country has the right to invade another.
Go tell that to US, England ,Australia, France. For no one will ever here from you again
Stop the war that best sulotion of this we don’t care who rigth or wrong the world care only the people life,,
*The US government finally achieved its objective. They have led Ukraine down the primrose path. The end result is clear to see, Ukraine will get wrecked. They ignored the win-win policy to NEUTRALISE Ukraine by building it up ECONOMICALLY and getting it out of competition between Russia and NATO which is the BEST thing that could ever happen to the Ukrainians.*
*Ask the Firefighters, they’ll tell you this, “You can NOT fight fire with fire.*
*You need a SOOTHING element!*
*If this war could not be stopped by sitting round the table, it will never stop!*
Zelensky is fighting a losing war.
Matter of time the whole of Ukraine will be under separatist control.
But according to Russian propaganda people are killed in that region even women and children for 8 years then how come still so many people are left?
Rocket Mass Heaters can be built to give them a lot of heat with very little wood.
Why don’t they go to their homeland Russia if they want to live a Russian way of life? This is not their land and putins abuses and uses them to justify his massacre in Ukraine. Like Hitler did in Poland and other neighbour lands. With that mentality every evil dictator can invade other countries and kill people.
Because it’s their lands don’t you know history that those lands belonged to Russia they were transferred to Ukrainian control after the countries signed an agreement
Most people in Buhas village was already a “Pro-Separatist” for 8 years
I hope Ukraine will be fine , also screw u for cancelling NAS daily
We support russia
Putin is more evil than you think… Almost all of this year’s 18 yo conscripts were sent into Ukraine and slaughtered, without even a mission briefing. Putin is literally killing off all the young males in Russia, because young males cause revolutions. So yeah…
God Bless the people of Donbass & Russia
Yh
SOUTIEN TOTAL A LA RUSSIE ET AU PRESIDENT POUTINE … MORT AUX NEONAZIS !!!!!!!
This is what called unbiased media coverage…
Do you think so? This wasn’t staged in any way? The reporter just happened to be there by complete coincidence or are the separatists just giving masses of flowers all over the place?
1,7 million people are fleeing the country because of pollen allergy I guess…
I’m all for unbiased and both sides, and that’s one of the reasons I watch Aljazeera but I think all the questions I put there are quite legitimate.
And personally I think not addressing them is also a bias but that’s just opinion
@Olivier Coen people are fleeing bcoz a comedian has made fun of its people by supporting the poking act of people who now have let you to die alone…..btw some are not only allergic to pollan but also to independent….they trusted the one that has a history of disloyalty war crime destruction of economy…..and i dont think its staged and biased…atleast they are not saying people fleeing have blonde hair blue eyes they are more like us….this situation is not like syria n afganistan…they are civilised n blah blah…bcoz that a racist and discriminated and very ill covered news
@Sam Fizz I see you are completely unbiased 😅
@Olivier Coen appreciate your understanding..😊
Russian no good
putin=hitler
I like your reporter.. the age is good..
ale propaganda!
that z is the new swastika and russia as a fascist creation.who will eventually be left alone and spit on by the whole world
Today we have Ukrainians fighting Russians. Tomorrow we have Chinese fighting Taiwanese. What’s next? Left cultists vs conservative? Im in. 😃
The price on Putin’s head is rising significantly daily.
Remember humans: In War, there is no VICTORY! Only DEFEAT! Learned your LESSONS!
both side perspective…. Only shown by aljazeera news… 😊😊😊…
USA and China Country Friendship is Safety World
USA and NATO support china safety World and safety Human rights
USA and China friends
Ukraine regime should stop using civilians as human shields
They didn’t
@Dundoril lol, who says that, CNN? Hahah is on video you dumbass
@Dundoril let me guess Iraq had massive destruction weapons too 😂
Z on russian equipment= Zombies, future of russian solidiers
Peace peace ✌️✌️
Shame on Putin Shame on the Russian government war crimes genocide killing innocent citizens evil god bless Ukraine 🇺🇦
Sad future for these people.
Opponents? Not Brother’s and Sister’s… Wow
Aljazira showing their true color
Not only Russia but also all the others underestimated the bravery of the Ucanians. They are utterly stunned all.
Getting brainwashed by Russia makes a rebel.
1.7 million fugitives to Europe… All because of the flowers from the separatists 🤔
After the war, take the separatist and dump them across the russian border.
Permanent peace soon to save lives. All sides have to step back and negotiate.
It’s time that woman of middle East start working… because most of them they are house wives when they lost their husbands they are stuck with children not knowing what to do…just find something to do…women!!!
러시아는 철군하라! 우크라이나는 러시아 영토가 아니며 무력으로 굴복시킬 수 없다. 독재자의 끝이 다가오고 있다.
Surely we are no bullies will not stop until they are stopped specially evil ones
dear gentlemen, lovers of nationalism FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Los Ucranianos están viajando al más allá. Ahí todos tienen mucho espacio
they are 100% going to get annexed by Russia and Putin is going to claim that they wanted to join Russian Federation
well done Aj reporting on the side other news channels can not see here Russia is liberating the people
Bagaimana dengan palestina dan israel apakah tidak termasuk kejahatan perang ketika warga sipil dibunuh?
Zomberrno tanks
We done Donesik Repeplic
When your country attacked just because you want to be part of EU
You should consider alternative to safe your country
Russia pushed Ukraine towards NATO
NATO in return using Ukraine for their cold war pressure tactics
But history know that attack in pretext of defence is always trademark of warmongers
