This week, the Ukrainian military launched an anti-terrorist operation to quell the pro-Russia violence and unrest that has swept eastern Ukraine. VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky interviewed troops deployed in the operation at the border between Kharkiv and Donetsk, and then traveled to Kramatorsk, where pro-Russia protesters were attempting to take over an airfield. When Simon arrived, it seemed that the airfield was still under Ukrainian control, but the pro-Russia protesters were outside preparing to seize it. Once the head of the anti-terror operation appeared outside the base, the commander was accosted by the protesters until he retreated back inside - so much for his anti-terror operation.

The general's expression when he was being dragged away and pushed around. "I'm too old for this shite..."
No, it was more like: -please give me an order to shoot, please...

after he refuses to provide any evidence of his position, after bringing in Ukrainian Special forces into the picture, they have already threatened their own people enough. Just fuck off already.
***** Military of the state has the right to protect thier bases lol...

Sure, to shoot innocent civilians? What about the complete ignorance of the propaganda which Vice sent out at the end of the last dispatch which was proved to be false by almost all major news networks, even they apologized for their mistake, that shows how little Vice really cares for objectivity
*****
So why do you keep watching/commenting on Vice videos? Just watch RT or some other bs if you prefer that.

What about Crimea its fully Russian populated hmm ? NOBODY CARES RIGHT. No one cares only the poor fucking Ruskys.
Simon Ostrovsky should win multiple awards for this reporting, especially considering he was kidnapped and beaten at one point. Great stuff Simon and Vice !
Especially for that chin im amazed he can buckle his helmet

Side note, but important.
In my opinion, this has to be the
"best TH-cam video series" here by Vice that has ever been made/presented since the birth of such technology as TH-cam.
Being that in almost real-time, daily videos of actual "history in the making" can be viewed by a guy from Detroit, Michigan, USA, me. And how I'm able to follow such information through these videos that it makes one feel so invested and informed on this "history in the making" that's happening on the other side of the world is incredible.
It's a beautiful thing how far us humans have come.
PS. Thank you Vice for making that happen.
whats with eastern Europeans and track pants?
Dude you have no idea how fresh our swag is.
Yolo swag
Slavadidas doing the slavsquat

ITS CALLED ADIDAS
God, you guys are recording history in the making. It's a shame each of these episodes don't have a million views each
this is one-sided pro-western propaganda for morons like you
Alexander Lujkov I didn't see anything that was biased, the real propaganda are the idiots on CNN reading a script and not doing real journalism. I think the only real moron here is yourself who seems to think that everything is propaganda.
Alexander Lujkov Uhmmmmmm so the terrorists are acting normal, I wonder what would happen if cecenistan, cerkezistan etc etc wanna join Turkey and do the same shit what the Russians are doing in Ukraine. Would Putin shoot with flowers?

This isn't right. Protests shouldn't be grabbing the man and throwing him into an angry mob because he is supposed to protect the base that is meant to defend the people..
No. He supposed to suppress the protests of this people.
So this men mustn`t to love him.
***** Bullshit.
***** No, you are wrong. I followed the situation in Ukraine a few months, and I know what I'm saying. So you are or lier or fool.
mfedemap Protests like beating the police officer who is accused of killing the man? What if he didn't? They don't know and they want to kill him. Protests aren't breaking into a police station, breaking everything in it, and beating the people inside.
*****
Yes, he did it. I mean the police officer. And yes, some of those people wanted to kill him. But they didn`t. Realize that people want a referendum.
This conflict is just so interesting, even 5 years later. Amazing series.
Crazy how many things come from Ukraine
Это Высший состав ?!! Который по образованию и спец.ообучению обасрался! Позор !
imma translate this
Getting tired of these "peaceful" pro-Russian protestors
Not as "peaceful" as Ukranian.
they want peace and they don't want to be western puppets or under the puppet regime/illegitimate regime.
Haha the fucking shit government just called their own people terrorist, lucky Crimea get out of this
justify the shooting then
@@tumainiellyimo4657 they want to join a facist dictatorship instead. Russia is just taking advantage to get territory once the tides turn and russia is in problems. The world should be merciless against them
My thoughts and prayers are with you Simon. I hope everything will be okay with you and your colleagues.
Вот это припекает блакитных ))) ну и как, сдобули перемогу?
4:33 "General, remember, we are peaceful people." So why are you being aggressive against him?
+Brigadier Grammar Nazi ... Er.....he came there with a...tank lol
Who got ripped apart ???
GAZ Black They pulled him and pushed him around. What did he do? Nothing.
nothing that YOU know of
GAZ Black And you know better than me how?
"We are peaceful people" Oh really? C'mon, honestly, really? Are you fucking kidding me? Fucking absurd.
Again Maiden was doing the same crap. They went as far to where the Right sector took over the Communist Party HQ building, wrote a bunch of crap on the wall, and torched cops in Kiev with molotovs.
It's crazy to call their own people terrorists..
They think that there are Russian solders helping them.They are not calling all of the civilians just the dangerous ones that could be Russian solders.And i am not saying there are Russian solders but there can be.
Seth Rogen Who would do stuff like that without support from a super power? Why planting the Russian flag if you are not Russian?
There are white supremacists such as Neo-Nazis in my country and many consider them terrorists. I agree with the label.
И украинцы считают что они правы?!😂, покажите эти ролики каждому украинцу!!! КАЖДОМУ!!!
А в чому неправі? В тому, що військові діяли максимально лояльно по відношенню до мітингувальників? Можливо й неправі.
Crazy the difference just a decade can make. Look at the troops and equipment Ukraine has then compared to now.
4:35 - General, Remember, We are peaceful people.
- - - - - ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ?????? - - - -
lol exactly what I was thinking.
"We are peaceful people" [proceeds to engage in mob violence]
They are indeed peaceful people! If they were not that silly general would have been hanging from that tree behind him!!
That general called local people terrorists , how else they suppose to treat him ?!
@@babayaga6321
Maybe not act like what he just called them?? Put politics aside. A guy calls you “violent”, & you beat the crap out of him, you’ve just proved him right. If that guy also happens to be an authority figure, you’ve just justified a whole mess of retaliation.
Can't get enough of these updates.

It seems like there is no public support for the Ukrainian/IMF/US/EU/NATO government in this part of the country.
I don't even see much support in western countries
they only support the side they can benefit of, that`s why these are "terrorists" and the maidan activists were "peaceful protesters"
Ya FUCK Ukrainian/IMF/US/EU/NATO all those stupid organizations and countries are simple trying to take advantage of that damn situation and trying to stick their noses to Completely not their business ! IMF/US/EU/NATO Go fuck your self and solve your problems !
Nikolay Jr. Kinda like russia
Nikolay Jr. i smell fear...so whole west wants to take advantage? On what? Not getting there gas anymore? Your stupid...
The crowd dragging the general and him looking hopeless reminded me of Gaddafi's last moments!
this is good reporting well done
What an awesome closing shot.
This is old news. We've known for the last month that Ukraine and Kiev are not in control anymore and Ukraine is in a state of decay, meaning in splitting up into smaller, more or less independent regions. There is nothing that Kiev can do about it. If the ukrainian police and authorities cannot be in control, then that part of the country is lost. And if the lack of action is a political decision, then it tells something about Ukraine. They keep telling that Ukraine is a sovereign state etc, but it seems that if the law and order is lost by their command or by lack of obeing command, then these areas are no longer any part of sovereign ukraine. I don't undestand why there was a need for a military operation and why they had to call it "anti-terrorist operation" as it's clearly internal matter and should have been handled by the police.
At this point, ukriane should raise their hands up and make the call that if different regions want to vote, let them vote and then just go with the flow.
Kiev has lost it's control and authority.
Ukraine was promised its land when it gave up nukes. It was promised to not have to fight a conflict, making it unready for a conflict.
times change
3:50 LOL that guy put the flag right on his face
We should remember this times…how many people were to have friendly relationship with Russia? And they were mistreated by the ukranian government!
And the beat goes on!
I'm hoping that Simon finally gets something to show for all of his creative reporting over there. He definitely deserves it, lots of it.
The red moon at the end was a nice touch. Vice, you have a great series here, keep it up!

If they did something like that in Russia, they would've been in body bags already.
lanciadr sadly. Wish such actions wouldn’t be taken on the actions on the part of the crowd. And no violence on the side of the government. Wish everyone could try to use words rather than violence.

How can you capture something guarded by armed people without having a weapon?
0:13 Clearly, sober as hell!
Pro-Russians and Pro-US people can talk all they want, but at the end of the day, it's not you guys that will determine anything. All, I can say is Ukraine should be split in half, once and for all. People in the East aren't just going to leave their homes that they have been living in for centuries.
tobby tob Not really. The US stuck their noses into this conflict as well as the EU. Today's Ukraine is quite frankly, non-existent (at the moment).
the problem is, that Donezk, Charkow and Lugansk are the main industrial regions, the so-called government can't risk to lose those.
If all these people don't want to be "ukrainians" why all you guys force them to? Is it a "freedom" you talking about all the time? Freedom from stable job, freedom from native language, freedom from dignity? Why did you supported people of maidan but forbid these people struggling for their rights today? WTF?
That is not exactly how the world works. Do you really expect a government to just let people take half of the country? Just how naive are you?
If they don't want to be Ukrainians, they should get the fuck out of Ukrainian territory.
@@c0p13dn4m3 But in 1992 they actually did the same. Why are they surprised when boomerang returns?
But it is not Ukrainian territory, it's THEIR territory. Ooops.
You can't use army against your own people just because they don't share your political views. You also can not call them terrorists and separatists for that either.
Но почему мы не можем использовать против них армию, если они убивают наших солдат?
Максим Уляновский
они зашишаются. армия пришла с оружием к ним дамой. твой аргумент не обоснован.
Именно так-же считаю. На предыдущем видео (Dispatch 26) было показано как "про русские" хотели убить того милиционера но это не правильно, так же и здесь эмоции взяли контроль над людьми, что они разумного командира начали рассталкивать. Этим не передашь ведь на самом деле свои намерения и этим пользуется именно вся эта пропаганда чтобы заключать такие основания как "that crowd was about to tear that man appart" или "they told him to climb over the fence".

interesting how this content has been sort of burried for 7 years apparently
Это местные жители прогоняют украинскую армию, что вы пишите!
Interesting how their uniforms have changed
They need to make a perimeter around the bases.
Sand bag it and place APC etc. around these areas.
Have your soldiers dig in.
The goal is to keep them from even getting near the area of the bases.
Also can they not afford less than lethal means?
Such a bean bag rounds or rubber bullets.
Hell paintball guns would even help.
timm2020
Нашим людям не страшны резиновые пули и газ. У нас даже женщины останавливают колоны бронетехники руками.
timm2020 police were throwing stun grenades at one point. But its true, they need to do something to make the civilians think twice.
By president do you mean Putin?
Agree with you mate. If that crowd moves any further, they'll be shot up by the Ukrainians within the base, and there'll be a massive outcry over the shooting when it was the crowds fault.

dude your reports are awesome vice is doing great work and the war zone reporting is so informative.simon and the dudes in the middle east are really great reporters
"Amazing.."
sounds like every cs:go match i had so far
"General remember, we are peaceful people." As you have people dragging him and mobs of hands reaching out to get to him.
I can't stop stressing what an amazing job VICE is doing on this series. Best documentary journalism I've ever seen, probably.
***** I didn't even know who Murdoch was before you mentioned him. Any way, it's obvious to most but the really thick that VICE went there with the intent of showing how the bloodthirsty Russkies rebuild the USSR, but that's not what I was praising. I'm simply enjoying the great footage regardless of its purpose. By the way, it's still as close as it gets to objective reporting, believe me, I've caught more than enough glimpses of what's aired on both the Russian and the American TV right now, prolonged watching must surely cause severe diarrhoeia in anyone with basic brain functions.
@Nicholas Conundrum If this isn't a rhetorical question and you're genuinely interested, please care to specify what exact statements of mine do you think I might be inclined to disagree with right now, and preferrably what makes you think so.
Imagine if Vice compiled all of this into a documentary.
Simon Ostrovsky: War.
Support for this reporting
If you guys were like the US Mil, if you such as step a foot on post without clearance to do so, you will be shot. Secondly, if he's a General Where the FUCK is his protection detail????
That's the difference, you step in russian base and they will shoot, you step in USA base and they wil shoot.
This generals, they care about the people they don't want to shoot at civilians.
And what do they get for that?
Nothing.
When Crimea got occupied, TV crew and unarmed Ukranian soldiers approached russian soldiers by slowly walking in order to make peace, to agree on some terms, russian soldiers fired in the air as soon as they saw them.
Double standards, I wish those men try to "occupy" a russian base and count how many bullets they recive before they die.
The Dominion Network fuck! thank you! there isnt enough people like you to state this..i was going to but you took the words right out of my mouth. RT today totally manipulated the situation where Ukraininan soldiers got stopped by a crowed...they Rt today said that they defected..which was bullshit...ukrainians dont want to shoot their own people and i think these soldiers need more kudos than anyone is giving them!
The general was locked out, can't you see? His own soldiers wouldn't let him in. He was appointed by the Nazi Junta, which is not held in high regard, to say the least.
spartaknumerouno Good job, 50 Putincoins have been deposited into your account.
That's not completely true, we have soldiers who care now. But if you give us a reason to not care like shooting at us or blow our shit up, then your gonna get back what your giving.
It's official. That place is fucking crazy. Law and order are out the window.

***** Yeah, shooting people dead is much more humane than throwing molotovs which give you light burns if you actually manage to directly hit somebody.
Im confused why/how the proRussian supporters found their way out to the military base? Political buildings, I understand, maybe even the police station, but the military base is obviously outside of the city. What is the motive here?
This part seems orchestrated.
Daniel Joyner My city's highway goes right up to the base, simple ID check point and you're in.
Daniel Joyner I was a marine and I was on a base and everybody knows it is there. I live in a different city now and there is a base and everyone knows it is there. actually there are bases ive never seen, only head of, and guess what..... I know, and so does everyone else, that they are there. so what's the motive here?
I am aware that they can physically get there, I'm curious why they would think to do it.
I also live next to a base, but if I were to go to an anti-government protest I would go to a state house or some public space.

Well that worked out well...
I like this reporter, he goes places no other reporter will go.
After reading so many comments that call for blood I felt compelled to create an account and give my modest contribution to this group of “tolerant, well informed, people and peace loving individuals”.
It truly scares me that so many of you call for blood and violence. You are so fast to judge without even trying to understand the conflict. And that makes you better than these “drunk Russians” that you are so eager to kill…and all that sitting in your comfy (most likely) USA chairs, drinking your beer and watching like it’s a game something that for so many people could be difference between life and death.
I don’t think you will ever understand that there is a world outside of the one you live in and not necessarily bad…just different. You see the world in your simplistic views. Russians and Ukrainians are whether you like it or not very similar people. They are just exhausted (both Russians and Ukrainians) with centuries of conflicts (not necessarily created by them), luck of jobs, life insecurities, all things that most of you take for granted living in a country that never saw kind of destruction that ravaged Europe many, many times.
No doubt USA is a super power but I don’t see them using peace language here (true representatives of the most “peaceful contributors” to this conversation)…that’s because they don’t care about people. For them it’s all about the money regardless who gets killed in the process. Sorry this is too long. I am just pissed and more so because I believe that you will never change!
Troll detected That does not allow us normal people to have a dialog
minuteofsilence1 Not a troll...just experiencing some issues with my account. I could not see my comments...new to this whole thing.
Typical russian BS.
It is Putin we hate. Not the Russian people.
Crveni Bozur, van mij krijg je een dikke knuffel vriend, het is zo erg wat ze met Givi ab Motorola hebben gedaan, walgelijk! Dat waren goede mensen met hart voor hun volk, enorm Charismatisch, Rusland heeft na 8 jaar met lede ogen toe te hebben moeten kijken eindelijk de stap gezet om de Oostelijke delen te bevrijden van een stel monsters, die zelfs nu nog doorgaan met Burgers te vermoorden!
Why would a military general allow himself to be pushed around like that? They are unarmed but come on, some authority and order would be nice to see, these civilians behaved really cocky, nowhere in the world could they do something like that.
i feel like ukraine should use at least a bit of force. The crowd was attempting to drag him somewhere. Doesn't that mean civilians used violence? Plus aren't the civilians trespassing? Do something Ukraine
Ukrainian government is using military against its own people... people are not happy... they dragged him for a second, but they let him go.
to Daniel M - Si votre armée allait se comporter comme un envahisseur dans votre pays, vous voulez simplement rester à l'écart?
to Daniel M : your conception of democracy poses a problem. Real democracy (not western corporate illusion of democracy) as you've been watching on this film, is by the people & for the people. What you've been watching is democracy in action. Wether you like it or not. Hands off western imperialism !
Why dont it apply on syria?why simon Ostrosky
why does putin support these "russian speakers" who protest in other countries but doesn't allow peaceful protests in his own country? ii keep waiting for someone to comment on this but i haven't heard it.
also, FREE SIMON! everyone was hating on this guy when this series first started. i'm glad everyone can see now that he's a great journalist. i hope everything turns out well with this crazy situation but if anyone could get out of this shit it's him!
Because he is a greedy cunning treacherous manchild. He wants those extra crumbs of land to his territory. And Crimea is of strategic importance. In winter it is the only warm water port for their navy when all the rest of their ports are frozen solid. He has nothing to gain by entertaining Russian protesters in his own country. But if he supports the russian speaking Ukrainians, he gets more goodies!
