With the Ukrainian army struggling to contain the grab for power by the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) in the Donetsk Oblast, armed pro-Ukrainian militias have been quietly taking matters into their own hands.
One of these groups, the Donbas Battalion, has been attacking DPR checkpoints and occupied buildings. After two weeks of careful negotiations they finally agreed for VICE News to visit their clandestine base in what used to be a children's summer camp in the neighboring Dnipropetrovsk region. They were cautious about revealing their location as their last HQ was discovered and attacked by pro-Russia forces, forcing them to find an alternative.
We watched them train and interviewed their leader, Semyan, before being invited on an operation the following day. In the town of Velyka Novosilka, the Donbas Battalion tore down the DPR flag and replaced it with Ukraine's colors, reinstalled the pro-Ukrainian administrator, and lectured the local police on loyalty and duty - all at gunpoint. We then left Velyka Novosilka quickly, as there were reports of armed pro-Russia groups heading our way.
The Ukrainian army's "anti-terror" operation has so far failed to dislodge separatists from their strongholds in Sloviansk and Donetsk. But the flexibility of the Donbas Battalion, and other groups like it, could help turn the tide in Kiev's favor. Equally, they could help further destabilize an already volatile region. Yet with the Ukrainian presidential elections taking place on May 25, it's likely that Semyan and his men will be busy in the days ahead - and we'll soon find out.

Pro russian : GET THAT CAMERA OF ME OR I BEAT U
Yep.... sums it up perfectly mate! Gotta hide the Russian wankers
The Ukrainians seem pretty open about the issue and will tell you what you need or want to know, the Pro-Russians are just shady and kinda hard to trust and will say very little.
@@raphuscucullatus7845
That is not true.
Problem is witch press or media want to speak with them.
Pro-Russians know that 90% of western media speak lies and speak against them, just becouse American-Russian "cold war".

Western media call them terorists?!
But people screaming "thank you"; "hero"; "we will not forget you" and also womans crying becouse of hes death...
@@Dantes-jb9pp He was indeed a terrorist. He chose side which started this war, and because of Russia and Novorussia about 10 thousand people died. Givi beat his prisooners despite them being common soldiers who were sent there and followed their superior officers orders. Russian tv news called Ukraine people fascist and neo-nazi, when those same people lived together for so long. Both people from western and eastern ukraine regions were living together in Soviet Union and were almost the same. When this war started they became nazis murdering poor people. This is bullshit.
@@benaskutko4737
Yes, they are nazis. They have nazis flags in theyr battalions,.
You tink that Russian leaders are so stupid when they create Novorusija? Dont be funny, they have informations from FSB that we will never know. They was informed by FSB and they was ready and faster then NATo.

if these guys are civilians there not allowed to have weapons, but if they are a militia, they can? I know that the guys in europe and near there have strict gun laws. So is that true?
+Devin Gutierrez There was no rule of law there at all - it was essentially a civil war situation so who did and did not have guns was pretty moot. There are more guns floating around in Eastern Europe though, in Western Europe gun laws are VERY strict (in the UK its virtually impossible to own a gun, and only a shotgun IF you own land, are well off, know a local judge or police officers, have a wall safe etc.).

Anyone else watching this to get some history for the current situation?
Yes
When the war in Donbas broke out It didn’t get a lot of attention, even before Crimea and the euro maiden, it only really got attention after MH17,
Long story short Ukraine wanted Viktor Yanukovych out of office, and then the riots happened, Russia invades Crimea, Donetsk and the Luhansk regions wanted to be independent and started taking over government buildings and arming themselves, then the first skirmishes happened with the donbass battalion and I think the national guard, the skirmishes became proper battles Russia started supplying the separatists and then helped them with taking Iloviask and Debaltseve, and the war pretty much just became trench warfare with shelling and shooting at the enemy lines, until now when Russia invaded Ukraine.
@@george.1405 My relatives live in Donbas where those scumbags have been shelling innocent people for 8 years.
A piece of shrapnel from a Motar grenade almost ripped my aunts face off while she was cooking in her kitchen.
Azov has been shelling, raping and killing over 14.000 native Russians in the east of Ukraine for over 8 years.
They were a huge part of Maidan protests, even BEFORE Crimea voted for independence.
(You can guess why they did that, 87% of Crimea are Russians, that are terrified of Azov)
One of their chants are that they will kill all Russians in Crimea and move to Kuban (Russian territory)
This is all documented, don't take my word for it, look it up. That's it.
@@george.1405 but now Ukraine has a much stronger army, and Russia is headed by an old dictator-marasmic. We want to be free from Russia's occupying forces. Russian propaganda for the last 8 years has created in Russia something similar to fasc1sm. They absolutely believe in TV, they hate Ukrainians and even threaten with nuclear weapons. They said they won fasc1sm in World War II and everyone believed in them, but it seems they did not destroy it, but only took over its role.
Its S.T.A.L.K.E.R. all over again
I’m assuming the Donetsk Battalion got their stuff from Sidrovich basement.
After posting on Facebook, there were 600 enlistees. Facebook brings people together.

@Dakota Browning 💚
2:10 Hello there! I do hope that the cameraman waved back.
Ohh yes I really do hope
Who is watching this in 2022?
What I'm asking myself: Pro Russians - "Take the camera away!" vs. pro Ukrainians - "sure let me show you around."
Why is it that way?
most pro-russians are local gangsters or rusia soldiers. so it's obvious they do not want to show faces, etc...
Thats because Vice show it that way. When they go to Ukrainians they film with prior permission, while they go to the pro-Russians they don't bother to ask and film provocatively to cause a reaction. Its an old trick for journalists to portray one side as evil. Thats what vice is trying to do, show the pro-Russian guys as the bad guys, if vice were unbiased they would show that both sides are evil really.
They're filming public places, why would you need to ask for permission to film what's happening and what the thugs are doing? Who gave them the permission to go around waving with guns and claiming control, taking over buildings and ordering not to film? They boast about democracy, yet they ignore the core principals and are as far away from democracy as it's possible. Stop deluding yourself, people who have nothing to hide are not afraid of cameras, these scum on the other hand are criminals and they don't want to be seen.
Aaidas2 Try to go near a US base in Afghanistan and start filming without permission, you will be lucky if you get away with just a warning shot. You can't film in a war zone wherever and whenever you want. How do they know you are not just an enemy scout who is filming their position and locations the passing it on to their opponents? You have no idea what real warzones are like, its nothing like in the movies or computer games.
Bob Smith
Astan is a war zone and filming a military instalation is not comparable to filming a public place. Here are just a bunch of thugs and criminals who have decided by themselves to join russia. It is a public place, it's not a military base and it's not a military operation, it's criminal activity and these people clearly don't want ot be seen by any outsiders.
Being a Police Officer must be really hard now a days there
There is no police over there right now. They all have been bought or bribed.
TommyAngello85 Isn't, bought and bribed the same thing?
ufortunately, most of them can't be considered as officers, at least at the East
Mack Bradley
It is, indeed.
I bet half of the police sit at home and watch tv while getting paid. Things are so messed up right now it is sad.
They're quite.. friendly. Lol
they seem to be good people that just want fairness, peace, and order.
I’d be friendly too if what I wanted was to show a journalist how my beloved nation is being held hostage by another country.

7:04 What the hell kind of weapon does homeboy have. Some kind of pipe bomb or a improvised rocket launcher?
That would be Yuri, he kept shooting himself in the foot so they gave him a piece of pipe when on “missions” so he could still be involved xD

Even better - many of pro-Russian comments are just automated. No wonder - Russia spends huge amounts of budget in propaganda instead of making their statements true.
Yea its not like there are Russians who feel for there fellow statesmen when thy see them oppressed by other nations, and think its right to point out the stupidity, errors and bias in these videos.

Are you gonna report how western Ukrainian forces have reigned down artillery on eastern Ukraine for 8 years ?
are you gonna report they've started doing that after uncle vlad took their land? or is history for you only mattering after 2014 onwards? And Georgia in 2008? And flattening out the whole Chechenya? yeah 'Vladmiri Putin' is the good guy? please.
Yeah because Vladolf Putler invaded Donbas and try to take it from them with violence, they have a right to defend themselves. Are you ok with me coming to you and taking your house and then you get arrested by police because you defend your property?

Cosssack where there long before Russians
Onio Woess
it's a next russian lie. these cities were built by Ukrainians.and did you forget that Ukrainians were the part of russian army? :)
Cossacks where never Russians, Russians where dirt poor slaves to the tsar
Onio Woess Wrong bucko, under a 1994 agreement between Ukraine and Russia that saw Ukraine voluntarily give it's inherited nuclear weapons back to Russia, Russia reaffirmed it's acknowledgement that Ukraine is a sovereign nation by becoming one of it's guarantee's of Ukraine's territorial integrity. The USA is also a guarantee of this integrity among other countries, thus the reason the USA is involved in Ukraine right now. Russia is currently breaking it's agreement while the USA is upholding theirs.
Craziest game ever of capture the flag.

I'm sorry. Wasn't the EU voted down by the people?!
Who can blame Russia for not wanting the EU/NATO/Western Interests on it's doorstep...
Remind me again, what was the Cuban crisis about?
whats wrong with them wanting the western style? what if the west gains also? look at other nations like Germany japan etc the west always had their best interest when dealing with them and look at them now. the west takes but gives more than plenty in return. Russia on the other hand is beyond corrupt to the point were its blatant and nothing can be done about it. that kind of govn. always turns on the people sooner or later. something that cant be said about the states in any way. conspiracies are nothing more than that. so spare me with them. if Russia would have supported Ukraine instead of hoping and finaly trying to destroy them, who knows what they could have become. Russia is stealing their futures as free men and women.
freespeechordeath691 I totally and utterly agree with you. furthermore I think that the U.S should act least send food and clothing ( if their not doing it already) to the pro Ukrainian party's and to the civilians in general.
freespeechordeath691 has their best interest?
dropping two nucler bombs on Japan and impeeding German unification in order to intice west germany to join NATO...
freespeechordeath691
i didnt read your long and horrible comment about greed ans so on; just the beginning: "country seeking to destroy you" you said.
What country is that? You mean Japan? Japan wanted to dominate the South Pacific: Korean Peninsula, Indonesia, China...
Plus, two nuclear bombs against a non nuclear defeated power.
The original goal for the Manhattan project was to beat the Germans in the Physics race... Japan became a target for this weapon arbitrarily basically.
Best interests he said.. it's funny, didn't the U.S strip japan of its culture,autonomy and way of life for some resources the japanese rightfully didn't share?
Все бойцы русскоязычные. Так кто там говорил что русских обижают и они просят помощи?
Конечно же просят. Просят больше поддержки от Украины в таком нелегком деле, как отстрел рашистских террористов
При том, что у нас большинство газет на русском. Как же бесят обвинения в ксенофобии. Это как «Не разговаривайте на украинском, это ж нацизм!». А называть нацизмом использование украинского языка - не нацизм?

@@kk0170 Everyone become so cushioned that they can't handle the smallest of issues. Place them on a fucking island for a week and they might get a taste of what life's really about..
5:50 lol
Hey look Ukrainians protecting their land 39 episodes later! Right on
aged like fine wine
Coming back to this, now that the war has broke out is surreal
I am only wondered, that the war didn't break out earlier. While watching this madness
Конец зачетный!))) - "сепаратистов наблюдаем. Поехали... поехали скорей!"))) Вояки..)))
молодое говно
И больше они не вернулись
"Поехали" говорили журналистам.
Fantastic! You guys keep it up and fight for your country and your freedom!
*****
One who is compelled to live under oppression is also not free and must do what is necessary to free HIMSELF! To hell with what the Oligarchy/Zionist trash say!
Every country, person, has an agenda. but the American people honestly want to help. We, as a nation, give the most of everything to the world.
Just because our Politicians are a bunch of assholes, doesn't mean the people are and frankly the world hating us because we 'put our sticky fingers in everything' is so incredibly self centered that it boarders on a psychosis.
But we know we can't change people overnight, but we try to show them that there are better options. The US isn't perfect, not even by a long shot, but you know what? A lot of our people are idiots BECAUSE our government is so well organized, at least for now. The traitorous politicians like Pelosi, Reed and Obama are trying their best to ruin it. but if we actually followed the principles laid out in the Constitution, it would be a lot better.
So think what you will, but the American people do honestly care about the Ukrainian people, the Iraqi people, the Iranian people, even though we might disagree with their governments, but only because they repress the people.
I'm not trying to sway your opinions, just telling you what an American feels, not my Politicians.
Mitchell Tuckness You have a lot right in your comment. We need to fix our own country before we can actually help others. You're 100% correct that the government needs to follow the Constitution. However, neither Republicans nor Democrats want that. The whole DC system is corrupt and only works to make politicians and their friend's rich. Time to reset back to 1776.
Philip Keys Douche-bag, these are entire stretches of the country that don't support the Western-Financed, Fascist coup that overthrew their Democratically Elected Government with violence, preserved chaos, and murder... and did it with absolutely NO REGARD (as it continues to do) for Human Lives.
Also, I'm glad to know that if multiple foreign countries decide to overthrow the US govt. that you will tell your fellow countrymen to move to Canada if they don't like it. You must not think about anything before you speak or post opinions, huh?

Just who are you blaming and for what?
Let me give you a little advice, if you want to influence people and make them see your side or opinion; you don't start out and continue to use name calling. Once someone has dropped to name calling the debate is over because it simply means that person has no honest facts to argue on and does personal attacks to force their beliefs on others.
Just saying. As for multiple government overthrowing our government. I think you underestimate the American people and our resolve and patriotism. All I can say to that is, good luck.
03:05 on single shot; never forget how many bullets you got left!
could have also been dead primer
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS REPORT.
La Viva La Free Ukraine !
These people seem not to be trained to handle serious situations or trained in ethics. They have a few weeks of training, that is not enough to train them in handling people and about ethics.
I have to say that they seem better at it than the Pro-Russians though.
But, this "operation" was nothing more than a show for the press.
Idk, I might be wrong.
***** Lier
what the fuck do you just told?
True but they are doing a more 'ethical' job than the current authorities at the moment. They obviously care a great deal about their country and are determined. That passion makes them stronger despite their poor training..
I really hope these guys are alright
i like how the editor put the clip at 2:20 - "some have had military training before, some haven't." _guy struggles to orient his magazine_
(he did flip the rifle though!)
So is Simon not doing this series anymore at all? I totally understand why and this new guy is half-bad but Simon was really the perfect guy for this situation.
Hope he comes back!
new guy looks like he has better perception of danger. not that Simon was bad in that area, but he had trouble mincing words regardless of the situation
Maybe, but maybe that's what made Simon's journalism so great. He risked himself! And now that without diplomacy an ethnic civil war may break out, I think Simon would be great covering the news on the pseudo-front lines.
But again the new guy is doing a great job. Maybe I just miss Simon but hell, why don't they both cover the situation at the same time?
simon spoke russian so he was perfect but they brought this guy in from the venuzula protests cuz simon was being watched
sure seems like his kidnapping was enough for him to permanently step down.
Simon was annoyingly bias. This guy too, but in lesser terms
Слава Украине! Бездействие власти, толкает людей на защиту своей страны и достойные для подражания поступки!
Вася, простой ты человек...даже обижать не хочется.
Александр Скунс даже непривычно, обычно маты и сплошная агрессия! Обидеть человека порой трудней чем убить. Можете показать своё лицо, не стесняйтесь.
Василий Простый Будучи памяркоуным беларусо-украинцем, я немогу оскорблять такого интеллегентного человека как Вы. Но в тоже время, хочу обратить Ваше внимание, что человек пишущий "Слава Украине" и выражающий симпатии "героям" данного репортажа, забывает о том, что именно под вышеупомянутым лозунгом и подобные "люди ставшие на защиту своей страны" жгли людей в Одессе, убивали на 9 мая в Мариуполе и по сей день продолжают это делать на Донбасе. Украины больше нет. Примите это и смиритесь.
HeavenFragment Как и Крым - это Украина? :))))))
HeavenFragmentИ вот еще что.... недавно было массовое дезертирство из Житомерской бригады.... аж целых 102 человека...однако ни одного не поймали, но в тоже время, в одессе дезертировало трое и их поймали довольно быстро...и тут возникает вопрос в отношении 102 дезертиров, а не "убитые в любом городе" они уже ополченцами?
I just realized this is from 2014.
Glory to Heroes.
Ребята реально круты! Сказали ментам как есть!
***** Если на тебя бежит свора бешенных собак, лучше отступить. Перегрупировка, такой термин тебе о чем то говорит, а военная тактика? Или стоит вступать в бой с превосходящим тебя противником, надо было лечь там? Я бы не хотел чтобы даже хоть один из этих ребят пострадал от руки той сволочи, которую поодиночке только и истреблять.
***** Он не говорил что приближаются, а наблюдаются где то, и я так понял они выехали за ними.
Хм, а ведь реально, они че там 2их своих оставили? Реально поехали их щемить походу. Потому что отступать при этом оставив охрану нелогично...
*****
Это не крутые, это просто гопники, бандиты. Приехали, напугали, еще больше настроили против себя местное население и милицию и уехали. Это показывает, кто сейчас в Киеве у власти и их методы воздействия на население. В следующий раз их встретят достойно, корреспондент сними их последнее хрюканье в канаве. Так называемый батальон донбасс - это трусливые шакалы, нападающие на заведомо более слабого и малочисленного противника, как эти милиционеры.
Something tells me these people really don't have local support
Most of these dudes dead now lol
1:03 cheeki breeki. ENEMY SPOTTED
yes Ukraine!
STALKER sequel looks to be shaping up nicely :)
It’s reshresh to watching some good old honest journalism , it’s rare in this day and age.
This is the best thing I've ever seen, thank you so much!
It's nice to finally see the pro Ukrainian point of view
Unbelieveble that the policemen still come to thier office in the middle of this mess..
😅
@7.07 at the ready with his firework motar launcher and his lighter, this is the guy you should be worried about! 🤣😂🤣😂
Слава Україні! Героям слава!
И Вам тоже сала.
Maksim Morokhovets
А Вам желаю добра, счастья, новенький автомобиль, красивую жену и много сала.
UKRAINE FOREVER!!!!
***** Этот вопрос российскому вождю надо задавать. А вообще нас уже посорили и очень надолго
***** Тираны сидят в Московии, а не в Киеве. В Киеве, как и в остальной части Украины - нет власти! Выборы 25 мая, вот как пройдут выборы, тогда можно что-то говорить по решениям грядущей власти. Но рашисты своё лицо показали. В новостях, в политике, даже на тех-же форумах и комментариях к новостям, во всём...
FINALLY! people with balls to stand up to the pro russians, when the army and police wouldnt
Balls? They ran up when they heared that pro-Russian coming, cowards :)
Hong Kong King
dude they rather be smart than being stupid and dead there wasn't enough of them so they have to leave so yeahh...
Complete their mission and withdraw without casualties? How dare they.
@@hongkongking406 Well technically they were but they armed militias to try to retake Ukraine the only problem is the state runs in a bureaucratic way that it almost have little to no progress due to Russia's scary aggression to Ukraine
Army and police don't trust Ukraine after the Odessa massacre and I don't blame them.
Respect
It's funny how Ukraine trusts Vice with their location
"It's a fight between freedom and tyranny." I don't think he understand the irony of his statement.
Being a Ukrainian police officer is suffering.
And why would this by irony?
Because he thinks he's fighting on the side of freedom and he's not even from Donbas (I might be wrong about the last part, but I don't want to rewatch the video just to confirm it).
***** The problem is that Ukraine west and east is really different, like north ans south in US.
Sergey Zolotykh Lol, nothing like this. The North and South may seem very different to foreigners, but they're not THAT different. It's not the 1850s anymore lol.
9:24 had me rollin
True brave men. Were ever they come from.
what a time to watch this
These small groups are doing more than the Ukranian military. This is what they need
"Здесь будет украинская власть" - кричит вооружённый мужик с чёрным чулком на голове. Но законность так не восстанавливается. Все мародёры ходят с такими же чулками на голове и вооружены. Как вас отличить друг от друга???
Установление законности выглядит примерно так:
1) вооружённые люди с чулками на головах кладут ментов
2) входит мужик БЕЗ чулка на голове в сопровождении обычных граждан, ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЕТСЯ ВСЕМ по имени и проводит собрание по восстановлению законности и порядка
А это - очередные мародёры.
точно. только обычных местных (!) граждан (а не из Львова и Днепропетровски и т.д.) согласных "идти за батальоном Донбасс" вряд ли можно найти.
Ну надо с чего-то начинать! :)
Мотивационная речь для ментов была просто отменной! ;)))
Good reporting
Litrerly just captured the start of azov 😱
This is Donbass battalion not Azov battalion.
5:49 ukrainian forces from the future
Where are they now 😂😂
@@jahvaults6500 You have any info?
