From a US viewpoint: exceptional warzone reporting by this Canadian journalist and network
fascist reporting? Got to be honest, first...
You speak for the US?
I have so much respect for Ukraine soldiers. Bravo Ukraine!
*They're losing.*
We must give Ukraine all we can. As a proud Canadian, I am a forever supporter of Ukraine..
Support them in trenches, not on a sofa.
Preacher for peace and dialogue nothing else.

Brave journalists. Put their safety/lives on the line for the reports. Bravo.
i agree... there have been a LOT of journalists killed in the last several years (from what i know mainly in the middle east)
they may be brave but they are not journalists they are propagandists.
I will always support Ukraine. Truly inspiring the world.Crush evil!

you have guts Adrienne! glory to the Ukraine!!! Proud to be a Canadian supporter (from our safe soil).
Theese courageous smiling people, my heart beats for them.

It's crazy to be reminded of the absolute brutal conditions humans live in during war. These men will not break anytime soon, that goes for both sides. RIP to all fallen soldiers
for both sides? morale on the russian side is so low for a myriad of reasons, there is no comparison. the moment Putlers position seems exposed, the whole house of cards comes crashing down
@@embreis2257 In reality there have already been mutinies by Ukrainian soldiers, but they keep men behind the frontline to deal with anyone who mutinies or tries to desert.

If it wasn't for the press reporter to risk their lives go with the guidance of the Ukraine soldiers glory to Ukraine.
3:57 the soldiers tag on his vest, I can't stop laughing, it's small things like this that get you through tough times at war.
The Citizen Army of Ukraine from all walks of life defending their homeland. That's awesome and unbeatable. God bless them all.
Sure lol.
not the first time people have had to do that and not the last time. What about those citizens from all walks of life defending their homeland in Yeman?
Lol
Russia and Russians will pay Ukraine massive war compensation. One can laugh about that but it would hurt Russians when inevitably Russia will be forced to pay Ukraine massive war reparations. Don't cry for your Mother Russia. Just laugh about it when you feel the pain.
Great report CBC! Much respect to your crews over there.
That was a really good report, you have my upmost respect🤙
My heart breaks for all who have died from this war. It’s crazy to think this stuff is literally going on in the world as I sip my Tim Hortons coffee and the only thing we have to complain about is the snow we have to shovel. It really upsets me to know some people take this life for granted. I wish there was something I could do to help, I know there’s nothing I can do.
you're paying attention. that's something. it bothers me that in my daily life, i seem to be the only one who is.
Pick up a gun and head over lol we should send the p.m.s over lol
Lol.. as long as you acknowledge it goes way back to 2014 and before.
What about the crimes comited by USA in Irak??? Your heart was happy?
you can help, they can use more boots on the ground. Drop the Tim Hortons and grab a goddamn assault rifle.
Respect to these men and the journalist
勇敢深入前沿火线采访的美丽女记者让人敬佩！💖💖💖🎉🎉🎉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
LMAO!!!
Thank You, kind People of the World! Without your help, we possibly lost. God bless You!
first of all, I DON'T SUPPORT ANY WAR, and for these hypocritical productions, why didn't they film like this when the fascists from the AZOV battalion locked the entire building and burned 83 children alive in Odessa? why . Finally, I do not support any war. but this war is unfortunately not fought by Ukrainians, but only cannon fodder.
Good Job!
Take care, Lady.
Slava Ukraina

That was some damn fine reporting.
Brave soldiers, God bless you guys and all the crew... love you forever 💓 💛 💗 ❤...God speed victory ..🇦🇺🏴☠️🏴☠️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇦🇺
Instead of Israel attacking Russians directly, Israel has tricked Ukrainian soldiers into doing the fighting and dying for them. American taxpayers have been duped into happily paying for it.
Why? Because the motto of the Israeli Mossad is: "By way of deception thou shall do war".
First, Israel had hired an Al-Qaeda mercenary army to conquer Israel's neighbor Syria for them.
But in 2013 Russia helped to protect Syria from the bully Israel.
So in 2014 agents of Israel in our USA government arranged for a military coup in Ukraine to overthrow the pro-Russian government in Ukraine.
Agents of Israel also monopolize Google, CZcams, and the main stream media thereby making it as easy as taking candy from a baby to fool everyone.
The invasion of Iraq was not so long ago, yet no one seems to remember that it was Israel who tricked the USA into conquering Iraq for the benefit of Israel using the lie of "weapons of mass destruction".
The gullible sheep just don't get it, and that's why this simple trick works every time.

I want to see one of our Leopards blast a T72 bits
they will be facing T-80 upgrades, and T-90's they will not have a chance. they will be in a scenario where the opposing force has all assets and air superiority, it is suicide. i was an anti tank specialist in usmc . just the artillery will annihilate them . and the pentagon knows it.the leopards are nice tanks, don't get me wrong, we were against them in war games in norway. god, they ARE QUIET, a norwiegan snuck right up on our nightcamp in one and they didnt hear it until it was right on top of the sentries. good tanks if used correctly.
Go drive one
It’s becoming more and more worth it by the minute.
big thank you to the reporter and glory to ukrainian 🇺🇦💪
I m an European citizen and i really hope most Europeans wake up and do what need to be done...we need to help Ukraine win this against the russian invaders....if putin had managed to take Ukraine he would divide Europe...we need to stay together and strong!!!

Well as an American, i am glad to hear that, All Ukraine wants is its freedom.
Your a fool
Yeah let them do whatever they want but they do not need 30 billion to defeat clown Russia army full of prisoners and lack ammo
I’m wondering if Texas started a war against another state. Would Europeans be sending us billions to help? Or would they say, that’s a America problem?
@@bac8730 of course they wouldn't lmao
MUCH LOVE TO UKRAINE. ✌️
that drone operator is wearing some serious armor
Good to see the CBC in the Ukraine instead of having the American the view all the time. Alot less drama and a calm report
Amazing reporting.
GREAT video report! Thanks. Go Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Yes
My heart go out for Ukraine. Victory to Ukraine 🇺🇦✌️. Love from USA 🇺🇸🇺🇦🎊

So where did the 100 billion go that US gave alone?

Incredibly brave men. I wish them well and pray they will all safely return to their families once they win this war! Slava Ukraini - Heroyam Slava!!!!!!!!
Jakie to smutne tyle ludzi cierpi przez jednego szaleńca .Sława Ukrainie Chwała Bohaterom ❣️
Thank you for sharing. God Bless the Ukrainian People! What's most scary to me is look at these men who are fighting; just one year ago they all held regular jobs just like you and I. Today they are war combatants, fighting to protect their lands, families, friends, pets, and property. With the world situation what it is today, this could very easily be you and I in one year. People scoff, but things are getting dicey. We are no longer the Apex Predator of the World, and there are two major nations wishing to take that role.
This war wouldn't have happened, if not for an egoistic guy.
💛💙🙏
You are 100% correct. People laugh at this idea, but if Ukraine Falls, then the rest of the Free World will be fighting directly.
Its not enough, come and fight for ukraina! Haill Ukraina!
i feel china and russia will team up. its just a question of will they publicly do so. once and if they do, china will attack taiwan and invoke a response from the us.
All there uniforms are sooooo pristine!!!
Good show 👏 👍 Paul

Thank you Ladies, for your courageous reporting! Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! Stay strong, take care, brave Ukranian heroes! We stand with you !
God bless you all! Praying 🙏 for your safety.
The press can get into a command center.. Then think how easily the opposition could...o.o
Why is not one news agency calling for peace?
Because that's not part of the script...?
Come on man... Just go with the propaganda 🤣
An excellent report. Thank you for telling the world what is going on at the front line.
What did they say? Something actual?
We didn't see the frontline apart from a bit of drone footage.
Huge credit to those journalists and the camera person. Being able to go there to film and document all these in the hopes for a support for peaceful country that just wants to have control of their destiny and protect their country.
Finally, some actual journalism by CBC.
i wanna see more!!! more more more!!!! please!!!
Bravo CBC News reporter.Cheers🍻🍺🍺🍻
Thank you for your report. We need all the international help we can get, this is not some local war, it has the potential to spill all over the West if Russia is not stopped.
VICTORY TO UKRAINE ✌✌✌✌✌
2:54 senator is an mrap not a 'carrier' (it can be used to carry relaively small amts of ppl or things) thats not a military term
Thank you for bringing this critical report from th4 battlefield-please stay safe.
You GO Adrienne Arsenault A Canadian Woman news reporter going that close to the
front line fighting 👍stay safe 🙏 from Vancouver B C
She has almost as much courage as a single Ukrainian man 👍
It's unfortunate that gender equality is so far away as we stay silent on drafting women tho 🤷♀️
Glanced over to see this soldiers at 3:39 and my guy has a patch of the hub...
Hshshs now I saw thanks
What did they blur out on that tank?????
Great reporting!
Personal is never good in war except in a fight itself, but I think the Ukrainians saw the developing break between WPMC and the regular army and Bakhmut is causing this!
Brilliant report!
Hahaha toje prevara oni su zajedno,toje ista vojska
Its hard for me to believe she was 1 km away from the front. She didn't look very frightened and i think the roads going in there are very dangerous.
because its a km? lmfao
Nice reporter....😊
Excellent reporting from what is an extremely dangerous war zone.
These men aren't laughing at the support. They are laughing at words. Words are words. Actions are actions. GET THEM THISE TANKS ASAP
they know the tanks are not coming to them as other equipment hasn't come to them, thats why they don't think tanks are coming, so that begs the question what has happened to the billions upon billions of equipment that has been sent to them by multiple countries
@@cplcabs the front is huge, it's longer than the borders of some EU countries, and there are different priorities. But that doesn't exclude all sorts of corruption and sabotage, also from the govt, that still has plenty of pro-russian elements in it, even on the highest levels. Ukraine desperately needs Western control over the money and help it receives. As it needs Western help to push through with proper lustration and the much needed democratic reforms.
tanks have already started arriving.
@@sokiel6663 indeed the front is huge, but there are places that have a lot of strategic value and that is where the priorities should be. My understanding Bakhmut is of strategic value, hence the Russians putting a lot of effort into taking the place and as such the Ukrainians should be giving these guys as much as possible but from that guys reaction it seems not the case.
Without doubt the equipment, money and help Ukraine receives needs to be accounted for otherwise a lot of it is going into politicians pockets and some even to Russia. I don't think it will be long before we see a Leopard or Challenger tank in Russian hands.
@@cplcabs Well, yes, but I doubt about the part where the Werstern tanks end up in ru hands. That sort of equipment is used seriously. We haven't seen M777, Himars or western MRAPS or IFVs in enemy hands. So no. But things do need to be controlled.
Just some Men doing Gods work
It's fun ,, I wanna join too
From all Ukrainians, a huge human thank you for your support! Now it’s not easy for everyone, but nevertheless you continue to help us. We really appreciate it!💛💙🙏

@@Rvh1 NA I

It's simply untrue that they're holding onto Bakhmut out of stubbornness and sunk cost. That's a cheap human-interest angle that undermines confidence in Ukraine's strategic thinking.
Foreign military analysts such as ISW and Michael Kofman say that Bakhmut is a sound strategy: to defend in a favorable location while elsewhere preparing an offensive.
This is the first war on the internet! We just made history people!
R.i.p to to all the good people who lost their life in this war.
Umm Afghanistan and Iraq 🤷🏻♂️
actually its not. Syria, Lybia, Iraq, Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Georgia, Somalia, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Niger, Chechnya, Yemen, Ivory Coast, Azerbaijan, Armenia. yes this is the largest combined arms war since at least the Iranian-Iraqi war of the 90s, and probably the largest combined arms war since World War II. but there have been plenty of wars on the internet, and I limited my scope to the past 15 years, since the advent of social media
I'm so proud of all these men!!! They are so brave and strong 💪 and they keep there moral really high! And that's called an army that's taking care of Ukraine takes good care of these men!

Ukraine on fire By oliver stone
I like this report much better to comprehend that other news.
2:06 depends which ones, it is possible but at the same time the advances by ru aren't that meaningful when it omes to being able to take the city itself, a lot of bleeding out
Ukrainians thank us for stuff support. We should thank Ukrain as they have skin in the game. All we do is send over stuff.
🇺🇸🇺🇦
So sad for the innocent people caught in the middle of this
It's confusing, sounds like there is a conflict of bad people and there are some innocent bystanders.. Did you watch the video? All these people are innocent people that went to defend their country against the invasion. Ukraine didn't bring it on itself.
If you have time to ask questions in a warzone, you have time to grab that semi auto and lay suppressing fire
Canada and the US are blessed to have favorable geography and limited hostile threats near their population centers.
Well, they fought bravely to have that, and by bravely I mean they had the chance to come with better technology and they slaughtered all the Indians and took their land. So the word "blessed" is probably not the best way to call that.
I'm no soldier but the angles on those mortars look super steep.
It's called "high angle" it drops the round closer but rather than striking a target at a lateral angle it lands more from above, much better for use against trenches and buildings. If at a lower angle, there would be buildings, trees, high ground in the projectiles path, these are considered "crests" which the round may detonate upon before reaching its target. Same theory for all indirect weapons - artillery, rockets etc. The closer the target is the steeper the barrel would be, or if in "Low Angle" the more horizontal it would be. Think of throwing a ball at a 1ft square 40m away, you could throw straight towards it, with a little elevation to take gravity into account, or lob it up high at a steep angle so it would drop onto it from above.
stop
Some of the best fighters
i feel a mix of appreciation and fear for compromising the safety of these soldiers even further by this amazing bit of journalism
To reporters, do not film the entrance to the Ukraine HQ.
very brave going to bahkmut with it on the verge of encirclement!
The speaker says Ukraine lost too many people to give up Bakhmut. All along, the western propaganda machine was saying Ukranians have inflicted heavy casualties on Russians in Bakhmut. Now as Bakhmut is slipping away, the west says Bahkmut is not important.
Ukraine lost many people, Russia lost more. Or technically Wagner, since they are mercenaries.
@@fabik805 Russia lost more people than Ukraine ? Who told you ? The western media. How reliable are they ? They said Putin has a hand tremor, a mysterious illness, Russia has run out of missiles, run out of officers and soldiers. They said Russians have low morale, and then they tell you they are sending human waves, which means they are fearless.
Ukraine is staring down the barrel of the long Russian gun. It does not have a future with its confrontational course.
@@fabik805 Russia lost more according to Ukraine. Whats the truth?
@@gepettosplaylists agreed
