On Tuesday morning the Ukrainian government announced it had ordered the halting of flights at Donetsk airport and the closure of the airspace across the region. The airport was almost completely empty, except for a few stranded travelers.
Later in the day, VICE News visited a Ukrainian regional military college where pro-Russia rebels had set up a perimeter surrounding the entrance to the building, blocking the road of any traffic. A Donetsk People's Republic spokesperson said they heard that the Ukrainian ultra-nationalist group Right Sector was going to seize the academy and use it as a base.
In a sign of increased escalation, the militia in Donetsk was well equipped with AK-47s, RPGs, and even anti-tank missile launchers.

so this pro-russian people know how to stand in military order, use rpgs and guns? this "ordinary" people are even holding guns like real soldiers, this arenot pro-russian ukraines, this is russian army, and at 3:00 you can clearly see that he is chechen, look at his head :))))))))
@tigermunky 10 років тому
Ukrainians have several years compulsory military service in which they are trained to use all kinds of such weapons. Are you suggesting that they would forget all their training instantly upon leaving the military? I'm pretty sure that they would still know how to use guns, even several years after leaving the army. My friend was in the army 6 or 7 years ago, but he still knows the training.
@GiorgiBitadZe 10 років тому
tigermunky you cant shot down 2 helis with rpg if you dont have full training course in army turst me, rpgs are so hard to use and what you can say about that chechen at 3:00? look at his logo on forehead, i know how military stuff works and i gotta say i can see more things in this video than others....... this is just too obvious that there are russian troopers among separatist noobs.

About 1/3rd of Russians have family in Ukraine and most Russians hate fascists so of cause there will be Russians but there not fsb or army or anything like that .

My point was more that journalists should use vague, but correct terms to avoid sounding stupid, since if you make a little mistake like that, people can ultimately question the validity of your statements even more. It's a shame that Simon got into some shit and had to be replaced, while I didn't agree with some points he'd make, it was reassuring he knew the language and was knowledgeable about the general situation among other things.

jakatom but it wasn't caused by ukrainian nationalists (or how you call them "fascists". At least they are under some government control, but prorussians are under russia control.). everything started from ukrainian march which was then attacked by prorussian armed people. and they had not only baseball bats, but guns and machine guns. and the most terrible is that they were covered and protected by local corrupted police. and then was the massacre.

Crimea was quite clear, the first protests in Donetsk, etc. were quite understandable, but now it's the real deal, where the claims and the fights are so large, that it's getting really complicated and necessary for a daring reporter like Simon. No offense to the exchance reporter for his important job, but i miss Simon in this particular moment.
@joeyglasses4448 10 років тому
These Vice Russian Roulette Dispatches have been (and continue to be) absolutely fascinating - an amazing running series of on-the-ground front-line interviews and footage. These journalists/journalist-cameramen put themselves directly in the middle of an evolving whirlwind of a situation that has - week by week - seen the para-military mobilization of thousands of ordinary citizens. A right-there look at an extremely complicated economic and societal situation that's been exacerbated by external, opportunistic, surprise Russian military, FSB/military-intelligence operations. A situation that seems to be heading towards open clashes of heavily armed soldiers and militia and possibly a larger civil war. Watch as it happens - see the fire being lit. The footage, and its masterful editing, is fantastic. Watch it all to see amazing slices of the evolution of what's really happening on the ground. The series seems to be refreshingly neutral. For months they've been talking to everyone who is willing to speak on camera - all sides are represented. See what it's like. Great journalism.

I've been watching these Ukrainian reports for a while and I haven't seen one of these pro-Russian separatists folks carrying an AK-47. That seems really weird to me as there are plenty of people in the States that would choose an Ak-47 over an AR-15 or M4 or AK74. I'm not sure what that means about the supplies the separatists have. It seems fishy
@NixNihilistEsquire 10 років тому
The AK 74M is the Ukrainian and Russian service rifle and IE what they seize most often. If I seized arms from a British military base for instance I'd expect to see LA85's and no SLR's. Like the British did with the SLR's, the Russians sold off or destroyed most of their old rifles a long time ago. The AK47 is so popular in the states because of the readily available quantities of steel surplus ammo and discount AK derivatives imported from former eastern bloc countries such as Romania and Belarus.
@KBKriechbaum 10 років тому
The ukrainian people that i know say, that most of their friends (part of the well educated ukrainians) are already too afraid to go out on the streets for any kind of protest. That could be the reason for the actual "protests" looking so pro russian. 1. You must be a really narrow minded person, to actually hope for russia to help you with your pitiable life. 2. When you look at the "protesters" in Odessa or anywhere in eastern Ukraine, you see people, that seem to have nothing to lose really. Educated people wont try to argue with gun carrying mobs of people, they rather stay in a safe place.

Actually they look a lot diffrent and have diffrent caliblre, too. It's also not about using the wrong term I guess. It's more about using a catch word like "AK-47", wich in public perception sounds dangerous or otherwise "deviant". Instead of using the wrong term/name, saying assault rifle or even AK-74 derivate would suggest proper knowledge and a more differentiated professional opinion.

As an outsider, I get all sides of this situation. No one is really right or wrong. On one side , these pro russian rebels are like a step child. Displaced by their own government in a nation that doesnt embrace their cultural differences. You can take the land but you cant expect people to give up values or language. On the other hand, Ukraine has every right to enforce integration at every part of its jurisdiction. Including reintroduction with the West. Russia stole what it gave away years ago in the disguise of "the will of the people " They didnt care about the people then, they certainly dont care about the people now. All Russia cares about is increasing the distance between Moscow and their border. Its a vulnerability to them. Naturally they will protect such interests by encroaching Belarus and Ukraine. But make no mistake..this is not about the people. If it were, i think the most appropriate action would be for Crimea to become its own slavic state.
@rodricksteal1729 2 роки тому
Crimeans are very happy to be with russia. None of us want to go back to Ukraine, we remember these days as a nightmare. To become a slavic state would be to ask ukrainian fascist to invade so no thank you. We democratically (cause that's the western value? do you understand that people have a right to decide for themselves?) want to be with russia. Mind your business, you can have your western Ukraine, but Novorossia is with Russia, because people want it so)

Instead of saying pro-russian, could you say anti-Kiev illegal Government? From my understanding most of these people do not want to join Russia but are more so opposed to the illegal Government that has taken control of Kiev.

@Troublesome2008 10 років тому
jacob skidan History is very clear about Eastern Europe during the cold war. People were trying to get the hell out of there. It's no coincidence that Eastern Europe is poorer than Western Europe. The iron curtain was not put in place to keep people out, it was put in place to keep people in. Look at East-Germany and compare it to West-Germany.
@jacobskidan1609 10 років тому
Eastern Ukraine was doing much better in Soviet times than it is now anyone from there will tell you that .
@Troublesome2008 10 років тому
jacob skidan The majorityf the population of Eastern Ukraine voted for independence back in 1991. Three weeks after the Ukraine succeeded, the USSR collapsed. Life was no picknick back than. Did you know that millions of Ukranian people staved to death under Stalin? They call it The Holodomor. Google it. As far as I can see, the only people who want to go back to Russia are the ethnic Russians...
