- The eastern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol is just 30 kilometers from the Russian border, and was previously controlled by the Donetsk People’s Republic. The Ukrainian military has done its best to fortify the industrial hub after winning it back, but many believe that the pro-Russia separatists plan to seize control of it once again.
In this dispatch from Ukraine, VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky discovers the strategic significance of Mariupol in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, and learns how the city is preparing for the possibility of falling under siege from pro-Russia separatist forces.

Been here since dispatch one :)
Same
Same
SirVixIsVexed That's because the Kremlin bots actually disbelieve reality.
Still ridin with ur day ones?
***** those were not Nazi party logos
Thanks vice for giving us 100 videos of unbiased actual NEWS which is what the world really lacks today. In a dangerous unclear situation like Ukraine, its really a privilege to have indepent sources like Vice for real news
Rupert Murdoch owns a 5 percent stake in Vice worth 70 million dollars. Who knows who owns the rest! With that said 'unbiased' isnt a word that should be leaving your lips when talking about Vice.
Emcee Sick Vice is still one of the only media organisations to have its reporters embedded on both sides of the conflict and covered in equal measure. They may not be 'unbiased' in the pure sense (because nothing ever is) but the Russian Roulette series has been a damn sight more credible than everyone else simply by the merit of representation of the warring parties.
Emcee Sick Hell of a lot better than the Kremlin owned RT.
Correct. But there are idiots who claim it is American biased.
***** source? you do realize that vice unlike fox is anti war, relatively anti gun, tells the truth about global warming, etc.
7 years later, the mayor said what was impossible has became reality. So sorry about the ordinary people who are the victims of this senseless war.
Now you know why there were so many Russian army losses
Not in Mariupol, in North and Centre . Slow move in Mariupol with plenty supply
The hole thing so god damn stupid. The east wanted one thing: federalisation or something like that.
The new (nazi-supported)government sent tanks instead of negotiators and everyone got a civil war followed by invasion. In other words: no one got what they wanted.
@pettahify I disagree. They eradicated A3OB AZOV between them. Now Ukraine can do easy arms deals, join EU and Russia can take back territory given away by Lenin. USA and Israel own Ukraine and no one is left to complain.
@@johnmac4094 Sure whatever. But the people in Donetsk never wanted any kind of war, and I'm guessing that neither most people in the rest of Ukraine wanted war.
The only ones who wanted war to begin with was the Blood and Soil, one nation, one people, one language, Slava Ukraine Heroim Slava, Bandera Nazis.
Weird watching this knowing that steel factory is in ruins
If they only could see 7 years into future...
Well... This video didn't age very well. The mayor if he is still the mayor of Mariupol was right about the massive amount of men and hardware needed to take the City, but obviously the city wasn't impossible..
It fell very quickly lol
@it's also completely flattened if you have seen the pictures.
Glad to see more episodes with Simon in. I don't see how people think he's bias. He barely ever even states his opinion.
Simon is awesome. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just jealous of his mad skills and swag!
titaniumdiveknife LEL
titaniumdiveknife he has 360 no scope headshot triple kill swag skills >.>
titaniumdiveknife Dat chest hair, oh man!
He actually is bias! That is cause he fills in what supposed to be silent moments with his opinions!
it feels strange to see this again knowing that mariupol and the azovstal is being attacked by russian forces in 2022
True
The soldier in flecktarn nodding his head towards the end gave me a worrying impression that he didn't fully agree with the man giving saying the strengthening words.
I'm sure that Mariupol, will be of strategic importance. My fear is that eventually it may be gravely hit before it falls to either hands. Scorched earth isn't a method only left to history books.
Oh look it's Diplex, you should really make a video bringing some light to this war in Ukraine, to your fans of course. (The one's who don't know :P)
Sup Diplex
DiplexHeated its called being a little paranoid by just being in front of a camera.
Diplex watches vice?!?! :000
Why so much Simon hate? VICE did a decent job of getting both sides' views regarding this conflict. There were a couple where they went to the bombed out airport and talked to some of the [pro]Russian guys/soldiers.
At least VICE is continuing the reportage. Ukraine has sort of been shoved under the carpet in US media. I only hear/see snippets now and then but for the most part, the crisis doesn't seem to get much coverage on the air.
Seven years later and it’s happening again, so sad 🇺🇦
Even if Russia would stop supporting the rebels tomorrow, it has already isolated itself internationally. And scared and antagonized the former Soviet republics like Kazakhstan and Belarus.
*****. No, comrade. Future is with vodka! All hail vodka! :D
SirVixIsVexed The future is in Africa
7 of the fastest growing economy is in Africa
speak for yourself, in case you havent noticed there is a new economic union between Russia, Berolus and Kazahstan
***** Do you deny the rapid decline in the population of russia? Do you deny that there is a large consumption of alcohol that has led to the degradation of a proportion of society? And have you not seen how china is taking advantage of russia by signing exclusive very very smart and beneficial trade agreements?
I'm so glad to see the Ukraine coverage up to 100 dispatches, and to see Simon back in the Ukraine. Simon, you're a big inspiration to me, and I hope to see even more Ukraine coverage to come!
Been in Ukraine physicaly since 2012 and this is the most open and true reporting I have seen
The same steel factory where the azov battalion made their last stand
It is a bit ironic to hear somebody saying how great Ukrainian language is in Russian language.
She was making an effort for Simon. I don't think he speaks Ukrainian.
Tom Hess
Maybe, but Vice had translated Ukrainian before.
Tom Hess He speaks Russian, it's quite enough to understand Ukrainian.
***** Hire someone who speaks Ukrainian Dummy what news agency sends someone to UKRAINE to speak about Ukraine with Ukrainian people and not have that person know ukrainian. Its bad because first of either Vice is incompetent or the language spoken is completely dominated by RUssian
*****
Oh yeah, I understand how this came to be, it just turned out awkward and absurd.
And 7 years later the same factory Azovstal is now turned into rubble
And it's clear that all those terrorist separatists were backed by Putler's regime
+VICE News Please WORK MORE WITH GEOGRAPHICAL MAPS. I think it´s easier to understand military behaviour by explaining it with maps.
Everytime when Simon is at a new place, I look up at google maps where he actually is.
All in all - Simon and you guys form Vice News are making a good job, because you do not cut the interviews with the citizens (weather it be pro-russian, pro-ukraine or neutreal people) and show the situation in most a objective way as possible. Thank you guys!
Greetings from Germany.
And now they have it, hopefully Ukraine takes it back!
Thank you, Simon, you are really doing a great and consistent work!
Thank you VICE! I have litteraly been watching from Dispatch One, you always helped me keep Track of whats happening.
Man, it is so interesting (and sad) to see this news in retroperspective.
Vice made it to dispatch 100, unreal. Thank you Vice for keeping everyone updated. Although this conflict should not have gone on this long, I thank you for your relentless coverage on the matter. You are the best news source out there. Never change.
In VICE News' 100th dispatch on the conflict in Ukraine, Simon Ostrovsky investigates the strategic significance of the eastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
Your female journalists are so brave. The one about devils breathe, crazy. Keep spreading the knowledge.
I really have to give Simon mad respect for his testicular fortitude in the war zone. He gets scared shitless like everyone else, but for some reason, his stubborn nerdy ass just keeps going back for more. That kidnapping didn't even phase him. Big props to a true professional! - former USMC vet
ZChenJ В Мариуполе еще нет боевых действий. Так что Ваш репортер ничем не рискует.
Russians got it and bulk of Azov battalion is inside Azovstal steel works ! Once for hopefully this ends with no more War ! That Mayor was too cocksure of Azov 4 line of defence of the City and Putin not coming in with regular troops 🙄 😳 🤔
Thanks Simon Ostrovky for showing some of the more implicit factors that play along in this conflict. If I could I would give it an additional like; also to celebrate the 100th dispatch. Vice News & Simon Ostrovsky have managed to provide news that goes beyond traditional borders.
Yeah there's an interesting thought, what if Russia makes this war official.
It's about as realistic a thought as aliens officially landing on Earth.
If it would be official, Kiev would fall within hours. But the political goals on the international arena would not be achieved.
Not gonna happen. Implications are too heavy.
If any thing happens it wont be Russia to declare war it will be a NATO army backed by the USA. And yes a NATO army, it wont be various armies from different countries, it will be one united, the operations you see in the baltic are exactly that, they are training.
Ok, good question.
1) Russia's minuscule economy gets worse, driving Russians to threaten Putin's dominance.
2) Russia's struggling birthrates, especially the low male birthrates, would crawl to a stop and those old enough to fight will die in short order.
3) Ukraine will get help, Americans will force Putin to deep throat Obama till his eyes water and he throws up.
4) Russia loses, even if it goes nuclear.
There is no prize for Russia, stay home and fix your own goddam problems you nincompoops.
Thanks for continuing your coverage VICE, these dispatches have become my go-to for updates on this situation. Props to the reporters as well.
Thanks, Simon.
I'm really glad simon made it out of captivity with his life and being unharmed
7:58 I literally have the same map of Ukraine in my American school. I love this.
Good to see Simon back again! Very special: 100th dispatch by Vice and by Simon.
This is the land bridge to Crimea that he mentions at 8:00 in the film. As of April 2022, the city is mostly destroyed but about to fall into Russian hands. A tragedy for everyone, all have lost.
Happy 100th dispatch, Vice News! Good luck out there in this very dangerous area!
And as always - fuck the comment section!
oh yes
Why? This is entertaining.
Pușcașu Marin Sometimes it feels offensive, as the level of ignorance and stupidity can be very, very high.
I've never imagined Russian Roulette would hit 100 dispatches. It is unfortunate that this conflict would escalate so much...I'm here since the first one. Thank you Vice.
any way to find out when this footage was actually recorded.
Congrats VICE 100 dispatches ! seen every last one
4:39 Well.. never say never
"I love ukranian language"
*Speaks russian*
hm...
Андрей Джорджевич Why do you write in English? you do not like the Russian language?
Ivan Salenko I didn't say that. I'm on the English-speaking website. So, writing something in Russian is 1) useless 2) disrespectfully
But this girl lives in Ukraine, ukranians around her. Speaking Russian is just...strange
Андрей Джорджевич You know that wonderful it is not strange. maybe she really can not speak ukrainian perfectly. but so what? your fucking language is used only because that the entire territory of the USSR were forced russification and resettlement of russian. but the knowledge of the russian language does not make anyone russian. do not worry, the next generation will be know our language and history perfectly.
Ivan Salenko Well, no doubt about that, man.
Best of luck to your homeland.
peace to all
Its ridicously disappointing that the normal news landscape dont even show a fraction of this footage
Simon is the shit! Thanks for 100 episodes VICE
Where are your videos about right sektor, svoboda, that instigated the violent coup in Ukraine!?
shit do they have to pump out pro russian propaganda for you to be satisfied with their work?
go back to the earlier Maidan dispatches
Monsignor
it's not a pro Russian propaganda, it's a fact. Right sector and Svoboda are still the most popular organizations in Ukraine. I'm not talking about seats in parliament, they are simply adored as "heroes".
You mean where the government was violent to the people and shot a hundred of t hem? And the uprising afterwards was completely unarmed of course... I saw no AK 47s and combat gear, RPGs or Russian Howizers flown in
Tarilian Righthand If it's a fact please present evidence.
***** Unarmed, yeah. Cool fairy tale, as always. /watch?v=yeQ-uM0NEv8
Well that mayors speech aged like milk
The guys in the thermal/silver suits reminded me of the greatest american movie ever made, "the deer hunter", if you haven't seen it - watch it, young DeNiro & Walken play in it - Deniro always notes that it is his most memorable film
Interview at 3:24, why the cut? Seems like he was still speaking...? Love your work VICE!
so the dpr wants self-determination in places, where it has a majority and mariupol with estimated 49% ukrainians and 44% russians has not such right? in a fair and even vote mariupol would quite surely choose staying in ukraine. what about dprs’ often called „wE wAnT tHe PeOpLe‘S wIlL, wHy NoT lEt ThEm ChOoSe?“ russian politics and dirty tricks are the cancer of modern times.
Mariupol took part in the referendum, and it took place after the horrible events of 9 May 2014 in Mariupol, when the Ukrainian army came in to get rid of the local police, and while they were doing that people started protesting against their presence in town. Protesters wanted the army to get out and of course, the army shot some civilians while they were at it.
Everything is documented, see episode 7 in the docu-series "Roses have thorns". The referendum follows in episode 8.
Here is a link to the documentary playlist:
czcams.com/play/PLPXDAOv6gXa3Xsx-rKLYd0W1LvhjlwCTk.html
And of course, after Mariupol was taken over by Ukraine again they(military, Azov, SBU) started to arrest and torture random people who's only crime was to organise a referendum. This happened all over Ukraine and is documented by OSCE.
The ethnicity question you raised is a weird one, because it's just something someone say they are, not a question about real differences. Up until a couple of years ago there weren't many Ukrainian-speakers in Mariupol, only 10%, and even they also spoke russian. Thus, you may conclude that a lot of those who answered that they were Ukrainian just as easily could have answered they were russian and vice versa.
@@pettahify You are very well informed. But should read about the Holodomor to understand the distinction between Russians and Ukrainians, and how Russian families came to be in modern Ukraine to begin with.
@@SO-SOgood let's kill the myth that the Holodomor "replaced" Ukrainians with Russians.
Source: soviet and Russian empire census.
At the end of the 18th century, the Russian Empire captured large uninhabited steppe territories from the former Crimean Khanate. The systematic colonization of lands in what became known as Novorossiya (mainly Crimea, Taurida and around Odesa) began.Nearly all of the major cities of southern and eastern Ukraine were established in this period: Aleksandrovsk (now Zaporizhzhia; 1770), Yekaterinoslav (now Dnipro; 1776), Kherson and Mariupol (1778), Sevastopol (1783), Simferopol and Novoaleksandrovka (Melitopol) (1784), Nikolayev (Mykolaiv; 1789), Odesa (1794), Lugansk (Luhansk; foundation of Luhansk plant in 1795)
.In the beginning of the 20th century, Russians were the largest ethnic group in the following cities: Kiev (54.2%), Kharkov (63.1%), Odesa (49.09%), Mykolaiv (66.33%), Mariupol (63.22%), Luhansk (68.16%), Berdyansk (66.05%), Kherson (47.21%), Melitopol (42.8%), Yekaterinoslav (41.78%), Kropyvnytskyi (34.64%), Pavlohrad (34.36%), Simferopol (45.64%), Feodosiya (46.84%), Yalta (66.17%), Kerch (57.8%), Sevastopol (63.46%), Chuhuiv (86%). As you can see Russians were already a majority.
Moreover the Holodomor was aimed at collectivization of Kulaks, and it didn't kill only Ukrainians, but also Russians, it mainly targeted Ukraine because it was the most agricultural region.
Crazy that Mariupol is just in ruins now….
What is clear now is that all those terrorist separatists were backed by Putler's regime
@@DieGo-fc6dp
Its rather divided on that aspect.
If you looked towards the Russian Imperialist Movement and "The Other Russia" party you would see lots of anti-putin supporters.
These groups are national-socialist and National-Bolshevik respectively.
Yet these nationalist groups decided to send volunteers to Ukraine to fight for the seperatists on behalf of Russian nationalist objectives.
This isnt just Putin - this is a nationalist offensive on Ukraine. So much so that anti-Putin nationalists joined forces with Ukrainian nationalists forming their own respective volunteer corps on the allegiance of Ukraine.
@@prophetcitrus9638 wow someone who gets it and isnt a smooth brain. Youre amazing sir, carry on
Almost makes me cry
I'm german and it makes me angry to see this militiaman at 4:55 wearing one of our old uniforms with a german flag in combination with a wolfsangel which was the symbol of some ss-divisions in nazi-germany.
"I love language"... Then WHY are you speaking Russian, and NOT Ukrainian?
Why that guy in charge of facility haven't finished his speech, and was caught off, VICE NEWS?
So because she picked a favorite language she's obligated to speak Ukrainian only and nothing else? Some strange logic you have there. Simon doesn't know Ukrainian, and in Ukraine you speak whatever language is being spoken to you. Ukrainians know both languages...
( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º) "Ukrainians know both languages" No.
Kipia Neko Yes.
Kipia Neko Why do you write in English? you do not like the Russian language?
Ivan Salenko Могу писать и на русском.... またはこの... But this chanell is for english-speaking, therefore....
Only reason Russia started this was because Ukraine was going to join the EU and if that happened they would lose their last satellite state and their last buffer between Russia and the rest of Europe. The east took up arms alarmingly fast and organized themselves within only a few weeks after the Kiev protests ended. But I guess this is to be expected when your head of state was a colonel in the KGB. That's the equivalent of Angela Merkel being a colonel in the SS or Gestapo. Not someone you want running your country.
the DPR is little more than a puppet for Russia to hide behind as the DPR fights Russia's war of conquest against Ukraine.
I wish the Ukrainians luck, from the U.S.
Always gotta keep it 💯
2:25 "they look like some weird space religion" lol
In this dispatch from Ukraine, VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky discovers the strategic significance of Mariupol in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, and learns how the city is preparing for the possibility of falling under siege from pro-Russia separatist forces.
Watch “Mariupol: The Final Line of Defense - Russian Roulette (Dispatch 99)" - bit.ly/1E5EZow
People from the whole former eastern bloc are watching vice reports with profound fear of being invaded by russia once again! That is priceless
Typical of that useless dumbfuck shill Ostrovsky to be too thick to mention that most of that steel produced is exported to Russia and the rest of the CIS. Surely worth a strong mention. No doubt this useless prick will pretend that there are no pro-Russians/anti-Kiev in Mariupol....even though they make up a large part of the city
The "land bridge" theory is more thick horseshit as they still have a couple of other oblasts stretching several miles to get through after that
Reg Varney Actually just in the last segment he interviewed a pro-Russian resident.
Reg Varney
That is lie. There is minority of steel production exported in Russia. Russia has own Giant steel munufactures and they compete which each other. That is why Russia putted trade protection on most Ukraine production since movement to Europin Union. Today those countries has small trade balance with each other.
Actually what did you says just in your Russian dream.
What does western media always forgot to mention is the fact that those separatists are not only pro-russian but also anti-Kiev USA marionette government, and which trend is stronger is under question.
Happy 100 anniversary!
By the way, the major was openly pro-Russian and when the DNR had basic control over the city he was openly declaring support for the DNR. Then the Ukrainian army came in and look how much of a patriot he has become. LOL.
People should follow conflict reporter on Twitter to see maps on what actually happening in Ukraine.
for example ?
twitter.com/conflict_report
Игорь Левченко Wow this is a really bad conflict reporter
liveuamap.com/
Oleksii Kolesnikov that's cool
4:55 the symbol on the soldiers chest is called 'wolfsangel". It was used by a couple of SS divisions in WW2 and is still widely spread among neo-fascist groups.
true. but it is also an old symbol still in use by more than 15 cities in Germany. And even Football clubs such as Frankfurt are using it... So, yeah, fascists use it, but so do normal cities and people...
I got a message on my phone saying it was uploaded just now on April the 6?
Last bit of the video is prophetic…
Mariupol no longer exists!
I'm viewing this video on the 01/10/2022 and i want to leave a comment explaining what happened after this reporting.
On the 20/05/2022 after a long and bloody siege Mariupol fell to Russia.
At the end of the siege Mariupol was basically 100 percent destroyed. I'm not exaggerating when I say Mariupol has been completely wiped of the map...
God bless all the people who lost their lives in that city!
RIP....🇺🇦
Mariupol Mayor Yuri Khotlubey's comment that Mariupol is impregnable to Russian invasion because ''No that's impossible...The situation is that the city has been fortified. It's a fortress that has a lot of lines of defense''....well, that hasn't aged well in the context of the war in late April 2022. Too bad we didn't have an Azov Division to eliminate these Barbarians. They're at the gate and they just can't have Odessa!!!....Period!!!....Slava Ukrainii!!!
Well Ukraine did have Azov in Mariupol. They are now dead or POWs. The mere existence of Azov and the other right wing extremist paramilitary groups is one of the many reasons for this war.
Of course, the Ukrainian regular army isn't that much better. Have a look at when they shoot unarmed civilians in Mariupol 2014. You can find it in Episode 7 of the documentary series "Roses have Thorns":
czcams.com/play/PLPXDAOv6gXa3Xsx-rKLYd0W1LvhjlwCTk.html
@@pettahify have you heard of Dmitry Rogozin, Dmitry Utkin and all the other nazis in the Kremlin? Looks like Putin has no problem with the nazis whatsoever
So, is it okay to start watching now?
It's nice that vice is still giving us ongoing coverage of events in Ukraine when most media outlets have moved on. Thanks.
wow amazing to see the inside of the factory where azov made their last stand
I agree. Intresting to say the least.
"I really want this city to remain a part of Ukraine because i love my country, and i want to live in Ukrainian territory bacause i love the language, and i love the traditions of Ukraine" says the frightened girl in clear Russian. That's basically all there is to understand about southeasterners. They are so frightened that they have nothing to remember except the language they don't speak.
Most young people are bilingual and if asked in Russian, they politely answer in the same language. Probably they will reconsider now. The girl didn't seem frightened at all, just the opposite.
Russians obsess over their fucking language so hard it’s pathetic.
What are you think about symbol at 8.30? It's reason of this war.
we had drills like this during the gulf war, except i think they called them earthquake drills
"I love this language", while speaking Russian. ???
Thats what i SAID!!! then people were like oh shes speaking because simon is speaking russian. Then your telling me that VICE NEWS could not find anyone that speak ukrainian to go to Ukraine and speak to Ukrainians. TOTAL BS SOMETHINGS VERY FISHY
***** Lol fyi I was born in Kherson and have many friends from the area. The funny thing is that my Ukrainian friends before this situation happened openly expressed that speaking Ukrainian was (gay) No offense to homosexuals but thats the term they used so srry. And the fact i was born in ukraine and speak perfect russian, spanish, and engllish while i know nothing of the ukrainian language should show u something
***** In Ukraine they have the option to speak Ukrainian no one does it except the far far west. Even in these videos the ukrainian soldiers or what not r still speaking russian in the back round. I mean the soldiers that hate russians to the CORE. Very interesting isnt it. They can speak the Ukrainian language but they simply choose not.
It's just strange, if you love the language so much as you claim, why aren't you speaking it?
tkvsevolod it is not strange. it is typical for all countries of the former USSR. she probably just does not speak ukrainian well. but that does not stop loving that language. after the start of the Russian aggression, many local residents began to finally come to love our common country. maybe you do not know, but in the USSR forced russification conducted in all regions. and specially settled everywhere by russians. but 23 years after the collapse of the USSR a new generation has come. those for whom Ukraine has become home. and no matter who you are by nationality - ukrainian is the one who loves Ukraine - your country. I myself half russian, but as we now say - ukrainian is not the one who has ancestors ukrainians, but those who have children ukrainians.
The workers are the industry. Not the buildings.
100th video starring Simon. Thank you Vice.
I just think it's so funny and ironic that the Azov Battalion soldiers have a Germany flag patch on, and the battalions insignia is soo closely modeled after the 2nd SS-Panzer-Division insignia.
Они нацисты ...
Because they are Nazis and proud of it
"I love ukrainian language" says the girl speaking in russian LOL
cause most ukrainian use as ukraine lenguage and as russian
I bet the teachers of that school haven't done the bomb shelter drill since some of them were in school. Scary.
That wasn't very professional or even responsible of Simon to ask this girl this type of "provocative" questions. They are on a bombardment drill in a bomb shelter with Azov battalion members in the city where they are the law. What else is she going to say? Not that she might now be sincere, but if she said something disagreeable her, her family and probably Simon would have had an "incident".
This isnt Russia we are talking about.
player276 So you think if she said something along the lines " I know people who have disappeared and killed during the "occupation" of the Mariupl'" that would be ignored or even praised by the Azov?
Вопросы, которые он задает работникам завода,-- подставные. Если кто из них скажет, что он на самом деле думает, то будет в лучшем случае уволен. В худшем-- арест за сепаратизм.
Теперь правда:-- (то, что есть в действительности):-- население Мариуполя ненавидит нынешнюю власть и осуждает действия укр.армии на Донбассе.
80% жителей Мариуполя поддерживают ополченцев и Новороссию.-- Это так, как есть на самом деле.
(Просто они боятся это говорит в эфир. И их понять можно.)
80%... ты сам опрос проводил? Ходил с опросниками, да? А может не 80, а все 146%? Чудак.
а сегодня все стыдятся того что было 6 лет назад и поддерживают укр. власть, забавно скажи?
@@user-pe9gj8jw8h а сегодня?🤣🤣🤣
Согласен,навозовцы быстро бы пришли,не просто так карателями их называли...
What happen to Vice? It use to be very unbiased but now it seems like its becoming more like mainstream media outlets, trying to push a certain point of view. SMH
2:22 I beg to differ, Debaltsevo is VERY important strategic city because it connects Donetsk and Luhansk with railway line and the motorway that connects them throw this city is shorter too.
He probably wanted to say that it is now useless because the railway hub was destroyed (deliberately, by the retreating Ukrainian army). Which is no longer true, since it is already restored by separatists.
Wow its been 100 dispatches and still no peace!
She loves the Ukrainian language but she speaks Russian. That's fuckin awkward!
Simon speaks only eng and rus and she should have answered him in ukrainian? Thats retarted thinking right there. In Ukraine people answer in a language of the speaker
***** Very true
Khakonov UA VICE can translate Ukrainian. It appears more like she CAN'T speak it.
yugine1000
I think Khakanov might be right however. I don't speak either language, but if Simon asked her in Russian, it would make sense if she answered in Russian as well - if nothing else, it's polite.
Kojak0 Well, maybe she is actually bilingual, one can't tell.
But just imagine - you are fond of certain language and consider another one as the language of the invaders. Would you speak it?
Please show how dnr children lives in basements because of bombing, show how ukraine military blockade western regions so no one could mowe out even citizens, that how Poroshenko wants to help civilians.
Ukraine is in the middle of a civil war, and it will only be won until one side is completely destroyed, as such the Ukrainean government wants to destroy the DPR completely, and eliminate any support for it.
welcome to war sir you must be new!
DaHuntsman1
Not necessarily actually. If Ukraine wins the war (and Russia keeps out) they can do a Lincoln and simply forgive the DNR and LNR for trying to secceed. That's how the American confederate states were able to return to the union with as little fuzz as possible, and it didn't take long after the American civil war before a southerner was voted president (ask an American who and when however, I don't remember).
Kojak0 Lincoln forgave the southerners after the Confederacy was pretty much completely destroyed, as he didn't want to spend more time fighting a unpopular war and disagreed with his party. He was then shot in the head and replaced by a radical republican. And for that matter Reconstruction pretty much failed afterwards, and the south has a pretty different culture from the rest of the US, such as those idiots who continue flying the flag of a racist and failed state.
DaHuntsman1
True. But the southern states are still in the union. That they do fly the stars and bars (I think that's what its called?) is as far as I'm aware of more of an expression of "southern pride" than an actual statement of them being racist rebels who still want to secceed from the union.
You have another example which is more peaceful: Åland is a group of islands between Finland and Sweden. They talk Swedish but belong to Finland, but that hasn't stopped them from adopting their own flag. For all measures though, they are Finns in Finland.
For Ukraine and those rebellious parts, I'd think that if DNR and LNR loose the war and they are returned to Ukraine, that they will do the same, which is expressing their (inoffical) flags, speak Russian and so on - but the oblasts will still be Ukrainian as they were before the outbreak f the civil war.
Those random Simon's jokes always make me laugh.
Wow this is the longest dispatch vice has ever done
If you love your language and tradition, than you should think twice before banning other people language and tradition from your country. Kar seješ to žanješ.
Nobodys banning russian language you fool, im a rus speaker myself
No one hand the Russian language in Ukraine. Sure, Ukrainian is the official language of Ukraine now, guess what Russian is the official language of Russia. You're lying or just ignorant. Either way you're annoying.
Khakonov UA Russian was actually banned from all the official papers and the like. You need MORE LIES.
ויאמר סבבה! Government? Even your fucking school books would be written in Ukrainian completely, in every place, from a cash machine to a shop, from a lavatory to all your documents you'd be OBLIGED to use ONLY Ukrainian. It's a fucking tragedy indeed for a country with a half of its speakers using Russian and a few millions being ethnically Russians.
yugine1000 I haven't heard about anyone forcing such things.
Ukraine is difficult, I don't agree with this law, but they need it to make a distinction between themselfs and the Russians.
No worries though, Ukranian is incredibly similar to Russian, most people won't have a problem reading or understanding Ukranian if thier first language is Russian, so thiers that.
SS emblem everywhere...
No it's not
He ( the Russian Oligarch ) didn't play by the Rules now his plant is Rubble!
It is wise of them to practice.
They should also equip the safety retreat areas with food, water, water purification equipment, meds & medical provisions, lights, batteries, & generators. Cots, blankets & hygiene provisions would also be smart.
Think : "siege" and prepare accordingly.
Now Mariupol has gone back to its rightful owner
Now thanks to Russia its largely rubble.
When will St Petersburg go back to the Swedes, Kaliningrad back to the Germans and everything east of Ural Mountains back to the turkic people?
When will all these places go back to their rightful owners? 😀
Z
No
So what the journalist said at the end of the video finally happened.
The representative from the steel industry is a very professional speaker! impressive.
BTW, ALL THOSE "UKRAINIAINS" without ANy exeptions SPEAK CLEAR RUSSIAN. Mariupol has always spoken Russian, was Russia and most people are ethnic RUSSIANs with Ukrainian passports. when Ukrainiains from the WEST came to conquer them and to force their "ukrainisation" this is when the problem started.
Everyone KNOWS that and just idiots can ignore that.
Gute Arbeit du Leuchte. Wie alt bist du? 14?
Why is Russia so obsessed with ethnicity and language? Just because someone speaks the same language as putin dosnt mean he owns them, just because they share sone DNA dosnt mean they should be forced againat their will to be ruled by the same government.
@@owenthomas5103 They think because they forced them to speak Russian that they are ethnically Russians. Fact is: Ukrainians are closer to Poles than Russians. Its easier for a Polish person to understand Ukrainian than for a Russian.
Russians and pro-Russia people are just massively braindamaged, its in their genes for centuries.
at this moment in time, Simon the propagandist must be swallowing his tongue😁🤣😅😂.
I love simon so much, the way he talks, the way he moves and the questions he ask, hes really affluent and I would like to see him in more stuff
`So, this was in march, now we're in August...
Did the city fall?
You know there's an issue with your country when Vice News makes 100 dispatches on it.
"20,000 people used to work here now it's a ghost town"
Been here since dispatch 12
WOW
Wow. 100 episodes. We've come so far.
What will Ukraine look like in 25, 50 or even 100 more dispatches?
Only time will tell.
