  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มี.ค. 2014
  • The blockade by Russia of Ukrainian military installations in Crimea continues. VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky spoke with families of personnel barricaded inside, who complained about the difficulty of getting food past the pro-Russian protesters outside. Russia's supporters explained why they want Crimea to separate from Ukraine, and Simon negotiated his way through a Russian checkpoint to interview an officer on the Slavutych, a Ukrainian battleship stuck in the harbor of Sevastopol.

      I don't see how he is provoking (oh and yes it's spelled provoke, not provocate). He is asking simple questions, without any kind of obvious sarcasm or disdain. He's a true professional who asks objective questions, without even disrespecting or insulting the soldiers, even though he himself is being treated in a very rude way. Please stop with that 'provocation' bullshit, that's all happening because the questions are truthful, so people just try to discredit him by saying he's a provocateur. Hell even I am half-Russian (by my mother) and I can tell he is completely in his right. People just cry out "provocateur" because they have no other arguments.

    What is hypocritical here is that people are always bashing the US for invading Iraq and then Russia goes and invades the Ukraine. The thing is the Ukraine is on Russia's border. Iraq was an ocean away and believe me, we fired some shots (and bombs, rockets, missiles, etc. ). I still think its hypocritical and I dont think its good for Russia to do this but this is not comparable to Iraq. Comments are annoying here. It seems everybody is brainwashed by his or her own government. Everybody plays this "america did it in Iraq so we can do it in Ukraine" BS. This why I dont like Russian Government and I dont like any government. Personally I dont care about the Ukraine because it is so far away and Its not really America's problem. The founding fathers said to not get involved with other country's shit but thats all we do.

      once again, he does not have more then 2 millimiter diameter balls. No one in Crimea (not people of any nationalities there, not military forces from any of the parts), no one want to made any violence. And i believe you should see this if you are not blind

      Alexander Lunev Oh really? How about the Tatar who was beaten to death and thrown out on the street by Cossack assholes for protesting peacefully at the Crimean parliament building?
      Plus what about the Ukrainian officer who was shot and killed and the two others wounded just a day or so ago?
      But I guess you will blame those deaths on... who? The USA? The UK? Israel? Jews?
      Go ahead and pick your delusion.

      TheLoyalOfficer I did not heard about Tatar death, though i regret sincerely about the death anyway of course. But about Ukrainian officer: also was killed soldier of Crimean self-defence if you do not know this, but how can you know this, if you see only one half in western media.. Provocer, that killed both, was catched and he was a young citizen of western-Ukraine (suspected to be from Right-Sector). And yes, it is US, but not with the own hands, but by hands of brotherly nation. Israel? Jews? that is the slogans of right-sector, not russian. I live in border region with Ukraine, i lived in crimea when it was ussr and become ukraine, i know people were maidan and how it works, i know accidences with russian and east-ukrainian people from directly form people, i saw in moscow 2 hours ago a guy weared hat with Ukrainian sign and euro stars, and he walking freely in the capital of "killer-country". I want to see one with russian flag in Kiev. I think about how World is "working". And i know some facts at least. Do you think you have a right to open your mouth if you watching dozen of reports in Euronews? Watch more - you'll probably find the trueth there. Ukrainian people are our brothers!!! at about 95%, but not thouse from right-sector. they are nazi and terrorists - you can see now, and you'll see soon more and more. But it will be too late. I wish to Ukraine only the Best. Believe me! but while it ill be hysteria, it will be chaos there, chaos, made by new "government" and the right-sector.

      Alexander Lunev"Brothers" don't dismember each other's countries.
      You "wish them the best" - while taking hundreds of square miles of land, and threatening to take more, staging pathetically phony referendums.
      How much more territory is the Shirtless Czar going to steal? The thief who stole a Superbowl ring, ON CAMERA.
      Tell me - what's next to be cut from the carcass of Ukraine? Kharkov? Donetz? Kiev???
