Just curious Willy - if you were a WW2 soldier, you would have interviewed German soldiers to show that they made nothing wrong? First you interview a real blonde nazy russian "war medic" who called to defend motherland " killing everyone" outside his "motherland", now a "hero" of wagner whom being a nazy found nazies everywhere. Maybe you are a nazy Willie?
Would have been nice to know how different soldiering for Russia 🇷🇺 was from soldiering in Wagner PMC
Thanks for your effort Willy.
Love ya work Willie, good luck with the algorithm (it'll probably massacre this video if it stays up at all). In the rare case that happens are you able to get someone to translate the Russian side of this and provide "unbiased" subtitles?
Thanks for your service, mate. You're doing good work here, bro.

As someone who speaks Russian, hat's off to Ivan for great translation as an amateur.
Love hearing from that guy, he’s a great translator, his English is good and funny as well 👍
Let’s not forget who he is though.
@@hContentOftheInternet Oh no! the horror!
@@hContentOftheInternethe’s a medic who has saved the lives of his brothers. He’s not personally responsible for the decisions of his country, but nevertheless he had a duty to his people and he has done the best with what he has. At the end of the day, he is a person like anyone else
We'd be better off with a million of him than one of you.
I am a professional interpreter, could provide free translation next time, if interested reply to this comment. A lot of meaning gets lost, things like this need precise and conscious interpretation, along with terminology, cultural customs, extra comments, etc. Lived and worked in the US for 5 years, native Russian speaker.
Тут скорее не с самим переводом проблема, а с тем, что переводчик, добавляет много отсебятины
Yeap completely agree some things were lost in translation, and Ivan added a lot of things Kum did not say but to be honest I'm not mad since he was also in the military and his perspective is relevant.
@@frostwater3219at 10:00 what unit does he say he was inv
I'm Asian American and have been learning Russian for 4 years, in general my interests are in linguistics and the Russian language. Hopefully I can get to the point which you are at someday. Thanks for sharing.
По факту это просто интервью с двумя людьми
I get the impression that Wagner is a easy way for Russians to get a Marine Corp-like experience without having to put up with a huge bureaucracy.
after searving 2 plus years in ordinary Russian army they can join Wagner....If execpett......usually you need more experiece than that...😮...soooo....
@@Lipi19821 Any able bodied person can join Wagner, provided they speak Russian. However, Wagner may no longer exist as it is anymore. There is no need for prior service. It was the case in the past though where only veterans was allowed in.
@@CaliellGiven how they mentioned entire Wagner units with dedicated languages, has the Russian language requirement been relaxed? If so, that may explain how they increased their size so quickly
@Stealingiscaring It's amazing what armies will do when they need a lot of dudes like yesterday. "You got a pulse and you can walk? WELCOME ABOARD DUDE!" That's how I got into the Guard anyway. 🤷♂️
@@Stealingiscaringno, Russian language is necessary. Most of the former ussr speak Russian anyway. You have Kazakhs and even Ukrainians signing up too
The funny thing about this interview that they openly mock Russian TV propaganda, while the majority of Australians cannot detect propaganda in state news and genuinely believe what they told.
Like everybody in the west.
West is demoralized.
Russian propaganda is over the top ridiculous. Satanism, Nazism, organ trafficking of refugees etc, Western stuff is subtler and consequently more believable.
Seems like everywhere tbh
Propaganda is everywhere - only in Russia it's true, lol. At the same time, Russia, with all its resources, expanses and great Soviet heritage: sucks on all counts, from the standard of living to the combat effectiveness of the army.
🇷🇺🤙❤️RUS POBEDA❤🤙 🇷🇺
No one's going to believe me when i say this but I literally thought to myself 2 hours ago "Man I wonder if Willy would ever interview a Wagner fella, whats up with those guys?" and like the parrot who shit on me when I was 9, Willy has swooped in and dropped greatness right on my head, Thank You Big Man 🙏
Thanks Nostradamus 😂 JK, bro. You should buy a lottery ticket!
get real mate,
no Russian or Wagner soldier would ever do an interview with Willy or any western journo
and l mean ever
it has been noted the amount of propaganda BS Wagner videos getting around utube recently
dont get sucked in
well said
Lmao what a great comment
ofc the subhuman vatnik Willy gives a podium to warcriminals lmao
and ofc his subhuman filthy orc loving comment section loves it
😂😂😂😂😂😂
priceless, subhumans
You’re a legend Willy, unbiased journalist. Excellent work
Unbiased?
Mmmmmm...
i do notice how much willy is more willing to joke around with invaders that went to Afghanistan then invaders that went to Ukraine. it was funny seeing that interview with that Texas guy that was part of the invasion of Afghanistan and in the same interview the guy said invaders must be unalived
@@henryrollins9177just take it in Henry. I want to know everything I can about certain people. I’ll draw my own conclusions just like I’m sure you will my friend.👍But we can be smart enough to know that we all aren’t certainly on the same page in this world. Take care my friend. They know what they’re told as do most of us. Seeing what they are told and believe and how they think and feel is valuable. Naive young men. No different than naive young men from anywhere else. The only difference is what they are convinced is their purpose. Their choices will chew them up and spit them out just like it does is all.
@@henryrollins9177 YEA UNBIASED! ya know reporting where you give platform to all sides, and then you critically research. (dummy)
@@sway696you’re only coming with your own conclusions from western media! They banned Sputnik and RT Russian news outlets from the west so how exactly do you draw your own conclusions? From CNN? BBC? or this channel lol, I seriously doubt it!
I've summarized this for people who might not have close to 3 hours to spend on this:
(part 1 of 2)
About halfway through the Willy OAM interview with Wagner soldier and some great moments that confirm what I've said before.
1. Wagner compared to Ukrainian nationalist battalions are much less violent when it comes to breaking the law in regards to war crimes.
2. Wagner has similar rules to regular military in regards to how they handle themselves. They are not allowed to commit war crimes or break the Geneva Conventions.
3. They don't get paid that much more compared to regular military so only patriots join since the pay is not great compared to western mercs so it doesn't make sense to risk your life for a little more money than the regular military.
4. Wagners security forces would punish anyone who abuses prison recruits and they are not allowed to use them in abusive ways.
5. The mythical sledgehammer is just a PR/propaganda device and has never been used to hurt anyone. It is just a fear tactic.
6. Prigozhin didn't die because "legends never die".
7. Prigozhin wasn't killed by Putin because our military and government officials aren't morons, they are actually smart. The only people he thinks could conceive of such a ridiculous conspiracy is a actor with a cocaine habit.
8. Wagner soldier does not think he is superior to Ukrainians. He sees the war similar to a civil war. He says Ukrainians are the same as Russians.
(Part 2 of 2)
The second half of the interview was a lot denser so it came out as a lot longer in writing which is why I have not numbered them. Here are the summarized main points I found salient:
-Wagner warriors aren't drunks or drug addicts as people with such problems are not allowed to be active members.
-March was a "march for justice" where they wanted to iron out some tiny details that Wagner felt was not correctly negotiated. The so-called "mutiny" achieved their demands.
-Wagner has different units that are based around languages. For example, they have a English speaking unit, French speaking units, German, and Arabic speaking unit and so on of non-Russian citizens. No Australians however, but they joked with interviewer that he "would be the first one Willy".
-Regarding if journalists are allowed in Wagner to report on them. Interviewee is not a commander so he can't really say other than to remark that it depends on the opinion of the unit’s commander and the PMC "information center" in regards to that topic but that he has observed international reporters, some even critical of the Russian government, working alongside some units. It really depends on if the news agency has connections to "destructive" entities. These are especially most common in Donetsk and Luhansk.
-If Willy OAM wants to report on Wagner, they can try to help him regarding that however he won't be at the front line itself. Jokingly they mentioned that if Willy OAM insists however maybe they can help him visit those sites as well but if he died, they would absolutely be upset and very sad. So "don't do that please".
-In regards to how his Wagner forces compared to western trained forces the interviewee states that ever since the instructors arrived the skill of the units have dropped "through the ground" and are a lot worse than when "Ukrainians were fighting themselves".
-In regards to Western volunteers such as HIMARS specialists, Patriot operators, sappers/combat engineers, they are very much capable and skilled in their field and they deserve to "eat their bread" as they say in Russian (translator does not know how to translate this in another more literal way).
-Specifically, in regards to Patriot battery operators he wanted to compliment them for managing to send 6 missiles into one Kinzhal missile before they were hammered by a Russian Kinzhal. He believes it’s a nice rate of fire in his opinion. Wagner soldier and translator started laughing afterwards.
-Willy OAM then asks a loaded question regarding why the Russians are struggling on the battlefield then. Wagner soldier somewhat sarcastically says he has a higher education background and isn't a "r*dn*ck" so he doesn't know how to answer such a difficult question in a few sentences. He continues that the Russian government tried to negotiate to prevent this war behind the scenes and this was not public negotiations. Which is why initially the Russian government didn't prepare for a prolonged war (a war over 3 months). The Russian military doctrine has only been evolving for about a year. It was hard to understand the next statement but the translator said "at the moment we have fresh military intelligence" (it seemed like he was trying to say they have a current fresh military doctrine).
-The next question was regarding how the general Russian public views him when he reveals to them, he has been a Wagner soldier. He simply answered "they just see me as a Russian soldier", as a defender of Russian land, and a Russian patriot. Wagner is viewed in an elevated manner or perhaps in a romanticized way due to their elite level of expertise.
-They next discussed how the soldier got injured by a bullet to the back that went between his front and back armor plates during a storm assault type mission. When asked if he would return to the battlefield after his injury, he replied that he did two contracts after that injury and laughs before saying "because you can't kill Russians". Willy OAM presses on by stating "we have seen high Russian casualty figures". Wagner soldier states that they do have high losses and that they've lost all types of soldiers from all types of specialties but in relation to this basically being the third world war, when viewed in context, Ukrainians lose at least 4 soldiers for every Russian and in some places of combat there is even 7 Ukrainians to every Russian soldier killed.
-They asked if they could just have a smoke break and talk about something other than the war for a moment so they talk about if sanctions have had any effect on western imports. They laugh and say they have too many western products and some products such as Coka Cola seems to be even cheaper than before the war. These products are acquired through third party agreements with nations like Iran, India, Poland, neighboring nations, etc.
-Willy OAM wanted to know how people like them think of people like him. Do they view people like him as "enemies". He says they are obviously talking to him so they don't think negatively of people like him even if some of the questions he asks are a bit stupid for their own opinion (seems like he was trying to say "from the frame of reference where they are coming from"). They believe their enemies are those who want to destroy their civilization, their country, enslave them, and rape their children. They added their regime and government, although they might not like it themselves, they view people who want to remove their government as enemies as well because a civil war is the worst thing that can happen to their country.
-They then pretend to not know where Australia is because they are orcs before saying it was a joke they actually know where Australia is. The medic then states he has been friends with a German guy who fought against Donbass in 2014-15 and that he remarked that he encountered Azov soldiers who he said were a bunch of degenerates that don't have anything in common with actual national socialism. The same German soldier was asked at the start of the SMO if he could help out again and he refused because he had previously been told by regular civilians to leave the country because he was a foreigner on Slavic lands and that he was trying to profit of their conflict.
-Towards the end of the interview, they discussed Bucha and the Wagner soldier states that when Russian soldiers were giving out humanitarian aid the civilians were targeted by Ukrainian artillery which injured and killed a bunch of civilians since, unlike soldiers, they don't wear body armor and helmets. He added that when people who actually commit war crimes discusses situations where crimes were committed, they often talk in a joking manner such as saying "we did it for the lulz" but the soldiers that were in Irpin and Butcha were outraged that anyone would believe they committed such war crimes. Willy OAM pressed further and they replied that some of the soldiers who returned to Belarus afterwards were severely interrogated regarding what happened since the western media was making such a big fuss about everything. The only case they know of something happening around Kiev was a few men who did something to some young girl but the next day they summarily executed by gunshot for their crimes.
If you don't like my summary, you are welcome to use a A.I. tool to summarize the interview instead.
cheers for that!

@@makidiaz3894 none, this is my own personal summary of the segments I found most significant.

@@makidiaz3894 nope, just trying to help knowledge spread and since I was already watching the interview, I figured I could help out people who might not have the time required to listen to it. It is rare in the west to get a actual window into the Russian world and Russian views.

Man this was the longest felt video ever with the language barrier, translator’s accent, CC completely not working on TH-cam, but it was great this is an actual journalistic achievement. If this was back in 90s’ you would be collecting journalism rewards left and right for the past year.
Thank you for keeping everyone informed with both perspectives
You guys dont understand how nato played Ukraine in to war with Russia, thats so sad... this war is like brother vs brother because of a woman. YOU NEVER SHOULD FIGHT BECAUSE OF A WOMAN (in this case the woman is Usa/Eu/nato).
Ukrainians should arrest that corrupt criminal clown Zelensky and other criminal politicians.
Take a look on this one, Zelensky is a criminal:

Ive been listening here and there to this for almost two weeks. Nearly at the end! The glass cleaner was hilarious.
Ivan's accent is quite good, especially if you compare his to the accents of most Russians who speak English. Not to mention his vocabulary and grammar lands him between B2-C1 level of fluency.

@@Larrypint it’s just a joke, we fight against fascism , and we very friendly to another cultures and languages, I hope u understand I try to speak English better 😂🙏🏼
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, regardless of sides the soldiers are the most important part and Willy has brought more interviews pertinent to this conflict than ALL other TH-camrs. Huge respect Willy, I’m sure I’ll enjoy this like all the others you’ve done
These aren’t soldiers, they’re mercenaries
I hear what you are saying mate, but would argue the innocents civilians who didn't ask for war are as important if not more so.
@@SevenRavens007 unlike the unpatched American, English polish, Australian, Greek, Estonian, French, Lithuanian, etc etc etc etc etc etc fighting on behalf of Ukraine?
@@baddaddy8718 They structurally belong to the TDF under the International Legion and thus via international law they indeed constitute as soldiers. Edit: Fixed typo.
@@baddaddy8718 they joined the Ukrainian armed forces, Wagner did not join the Russian armed forces.
Okay, so kind of a summary, i think, is:
After he was in the service, he joined Wagner and went to either the Middle East or Africa because he feels the Western international order is unfair and wants a multipolar world.
He joined the fight in Ukraine because of the large and growing presence of anti-russian ethnicity comments online.
He feels Russia invaded Ukraine because after the "civil war" had started to stagnate, the Ukrainian government was building up military strength to fight against Russia.
He thinks that Ukrainians are fleeing west, and those that went to Russia can not go back because the Ukrainians will imprison or torture them for fleeing to Russia.
He says Ukrainian groups commit crimes against humanity, not Russian PMCs
He believes that the prison conscrips are good because they have the warrior spirit, they're disciplined, and they are true survivors.
He says Wagner has operated under Russian military law for the last 9 years.
He says the sledgehammer is the representation of justice and has only been used a few times for PR.
He doesn't believe that Prigozhin was killed by the Russian government.
He was part of the standard military, then 2 separate PMCs in Ukraine, and didn't take part in the mutiny.
He refuses to say who he supports/talk on the mutiny because he doesn't want groups to take interest. He did say it was a march of justice against the Russian MIC and that it helped a lot of people.
There are Wagner common language units with foreigners from Western nations and the Middle East. He never saw non Russian citizen fighters on his side during his time there, but he did come across dead Polish and Georgian fighters on the Ukrainian side.
Polish military engineers have been doing good work for Ukrainian defenses, apparently. He believes British and American specialists in the area aren't volunteer forces but government forces.
He says the reason Russia didn't win quickly is because they thought they would be able to come to a quick deal with Ukraine and didn't prepare for a longer, larger conflict.
He got injured by a bullet and did 2 contracts after that.
He says that Ukrainian losses are much larger than Russian ones, and he says this is basically World War 3, which is why there are so many casualties.
They say Western products are more ubiquitous now because of trade through 3rd party nations.
They believe that westerners aren't the enemy, but they believe it is an existential threat against them, and they are fighting for survival.
He says he has a friend who fought on Ukraine's side and says they were very degenerate.
War story: he was light infantry who was acting in support of the VDV. They were gathering intel, performing recognition/counter recognition services, and storming assualt operations. They were better outfitted and looked more professional than standard infantry because of this. When they came across other units, they were moral boosting for the Russian regulars. They were deployed at the more difficult areas and were tasked with breaking the Ukrainian lines in the middle of a forest line and clearing the trenches. He noticed that although the average age was 20 among them, they seemed much older and weathered, true warriors in his eyes. With only 17 men, they assaulted the Ukrainian trenches defended by 100+ men. They got wrecked in his words, but no one on his side died. He says even with 100 Ukrainians in the trench, Ukrainian artillery was working against them, probably causing blue on blue casualties as he said 2 days later the position was taken. He also says a funny bit where the hq sent a rocket to get immediately shot down by AA even though they had already witnessed 2 drones get downed by the same AA.
He finishes the interview with saying he had heard that bucha wasn't Russian war crimes but the result of shelling and that one rape he did know of the Russian military executed the perpetrator.
(Some odd notes they laughed hard about antifa actions in Ukraine probably eluding to it being Russian backed, they laughed hard about the afghan hat which eludes to them aiding Western opponents)
Thanks for saving me 2 hours!👍
Antifa was a wrong word, and the narrative too plain and stereotypic,that’s why they laughed. They meant the narrative that pro Russian Ukrainians were against “fascism” referring to what happened in Odessa.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Helped me a lot.
I wonder how many people in the West understand that February 24, 2022 is Russia's RESPONSE to the 8-year-old ATO (anti-terrorist operation) of the Kiev regime on the territory of their own country against part of their own population who disagree with the 2014 coup organized by the United States? PUNITIVE operation of the "Ukrainian SS" - nationalist battalions "Azov", "Aidar", "Dnepr"... against the civilian population of Donbass...
Fair summary. Thanks!

Привет, братишка! Косово је Србија
The Fighter has a very competent Russian speech, he uses complex expressions and concepts,................ but the translator simplifies everything.
Russians that can speak Russian. Wild.
I guess any Wagner wanting to do this is going to be above average
Yea, lots of it is lost. But that's not bad for an amateur. The main message comes through.
Some post processing with subtitles by a second interp would be great.
Well to be fair being able to speak a language doesn't mean you can translate the language well. That takes a whole other level of proficiency.

What's BS is everyone fights each other but we are all so similar. Im sure if there was no war and politics the average person no matter the country could sit together just the same as with fellow country men
You can't even do that with "fellow" countrymen. Well, you're incredibly lucky if you can. If I were to sit together with mine I'd get beaten up at the very least and possibly reported to the authorities within 15 minutes if I were to shut myself off completely.

Willy this is truly journalism in its most important, and purest sense. Hearing both sides in the moment, during the event, is critical for peace and for the curtailing of the bloodthirsty hate that can drag conflicts on long after the last shot is fired.
We have a long way to go. Undoing the rhetoric that has been installed in young minds on all sides. They think and believe exactly what I expected. And this is why I say we are a long way off. Going minds are impressionable but all you have to do ask yourself is who benefits by installing hate, division and pushes for violence against their neighbors. All countries do it so I’m not saying any of us are free from the burden but we keep making the same mistakes over and over. I know many see it but not enough call it out.🤷♂️old men lying and young men dying. And they think it matters what flag they fly.🤦♂️ This is the biggest generational curse that never seems to get broken.
@@sway696 I couldn’t agree more. I think this quote from Ernest Hemingway sums up the whole fallacy and tragedy of war quite succinctly:
“An aggressive war is the great crime against everything good in the world. A defensive war, which must necessarily turn to aggressive at the earliest moment, is the necessary great counter-crime. But never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.”
@@sway696 Russians have tried to erase our culture before and are doing it now. The biggest curse to us are Russians
@sway696 The old lie;
How sweet & fitting it is to die for ones country.
@@larrydean6550I like Patton’s quote better, “Let the other guy die for his country…”
I assume it's Libya he's referring to, a country that used to be nice and the richest country in Africa and now has open slave trade, no law and filled of religious extremists.
Верно!
Bingo :-)
Kabul (Afghanistan) was once called " Paris of the East". Supported by Russia they build schools, roads etc. US choose to support the mujahedin and now the country is totally destroyed.
Probably Syria , don't think Wagner was in Libya
@@dvgsun He was talking about Syria but Wagner were in Libya in a more limited capacity not so long back, I'm fairly sure they were assisting Haftir's forces.
Talking about personal relationships evolutions with ukranians he literaly says: "i felt like a jew at that point in nazi germany...but since i'm russian and not a jew, i didn't want to feel sad...i just wanted to destroy the enemy of my motherland" that's pretty based in my opinion.
Why do Russians always talk in metaphors & have an elaborate explanation for something that could be easily be explained in very few words?!😂
Asked, can a Western journalist get an interview with Wagner, a Russian talks for ten minutes to basically say maybe.
Thats an intelligent way of talking. It makes you think. They also don't understand why western people ask each other how are you even they don't know each other. For a Russian person it is a breach of privacy. They don't put the fake smile on their face as well. Totally different culture and I like it.
We have a very rich language. We use this on every occasion.
The Aussie is finding it difficult to understand Russian humour /sarcasm.
Yeah, guy took everything word for word
Funny, british and aussie humour is similar and I got the russian humour. Thing is Willie has been to ukraine and he's seen the horror. He's also very close to people on the front, so this must of been very hard for him, even as a professional
This is cracking the code Willy. Outstanding journalism
Willy man if you, with your prior military experience, could get an interview with frontline Russian troops, that content would be interesting, especially with your prior military background. Maybe even do both sides of the same sector of the line. The interview with the AFU and RU units facing off would be really something
How to avoid getting mowed down in cross fire
@@711liljay Eh FPVs and artillery is more dangerous then small arms fire in this case. It takes a few minutes until the russians have a ISTAR mission in the sky and a fire sortie following it up. They can also actively adjust it so it hits nearer the sector where AFU are. Scary shit ngl.
Bruh. That would just be a pointless sh@tshow with nothing to offer but drama. When you wish to interview someone, you need to invite them into a welcoming environment that will allow them to relax and express their true opinions and views. When people feel like they're being threatened, played or interrogated, they alter their narratives in defense. This is why 99.9% of modern journos are unprofessional dipsh@ts. They corner and attack. Willy is doing a pretty good job here, trying to pay attention and refraining from lashing out with his own opinions. He could still direct the conversation to his points of interest more subtly/indirectly, but he's ok. Maybe he'll get better with time if he keeps bringing in a diverse palette of guests.
if youve ever seen any . youll understand how hilarious the selection of propagandawillys people is
Excellent video, good job from Ivan to translate. Willy I must say you sir are better than any journalist talking about this conflict, you empathize (without agreeing) with any of your interviewee and that allow for extensive and seemingly honest answers. Also your questions are good, straight to the point and always relevant.
Great job sir.
thankyou mate!
@@willyOAMI admire how you kept yourself calm and professional. It was a difficult interview.
Hats off to getting interviews like this. It just highlights the insanity of it all. Just a bunch of young guys who probably would all get along killing each other.

There is a reason why most of the worlds population oppose US hegemony in the world and thus are willing not only to de-dollarize, but also fight against US/NATO expansion.
@@ellengran6814You know that NATO membership is voluntary, yes? There is a reason why the baltics are happy to join NATO as opposed to ukraine which is being invaded for russian expansion. War is atrocious, but stop pretending like the US is the Third Reich
@@issintf925 Definition fascism/nazism : authoritarian, militarism, expansionism, cooperation between Big Businesses and government. When Mike Pompeo said : "US must rule the world" , he expressed what every US foreign minister has done since WW2 = cooperate with US Big Businesses in order to rule the world . Sounds typical fascism to me.
unfortunately translation is not very good and a lot of ideas sound more rude and simplistic than they actually are
Because the guy translating didn’t have enough of a vocabulary to keep up + was too much f around and joking with his friend + in contrast to his friend that was quite eloquent the translator liked to be vulgar in his speech.
That's an interesting point KUM makes at 18:28 - ...
Western PMCs really go to wars with a thought of money more in comparision to russians, they obviously have "the idea" behind, but the money are SIGNIFICANTLY bigger, especially compared to the field of work for western mercenaries that is way less dangerous.
Let's say Blackwater/Academy... they not only fight against a weaker enemy who's smaller in numbers, has worse training, equipment, funding, tactics, strategy and often times even the morale, since they already got bombed into oblivion by the US army, but western mercs also don't really fight that much, they mostly do logistics for the regular forces, do guard of US embassies and work related to VIPs. All the real door kicking, raids and recon is NOT done by Blackwater, they don't do such dangerous shit, all the dirty fucking work is done by regular USMC or the US army guys and yet they make more money. So western mercenary mindset is like "we don't do things that can easily make us KIA, yet we are cooler guys and make way more money than the actual soldiers, fast cash, in and out".
Russian PMCs like Wagner on the other hand, consistently go up against a stronger foe and are actually involved in all the dirty work, recon, dook kicking, raids and etc. everything that gets one killed easily, they do on daily basis. They are not really driven by some money (that are also comparable to regular soldiers payment), so they know that they want to fight, kill and die, they know that unlike the regular soldiers, they will be on the tip of the attack, so money is just a side thing for russian PMCs.
Hearing both sides of the story is the path to Peace. Well done Willy.
Facts
Yea, because a 'PMC' is sooooo intersted in 'peace'. Get the hell outta here you low IQ Vatnik.
Yes and telling the west to get the f@#k out of Ukraine!
What a ridiculous statement.
It would be the path to peace if both sides told the truth and was honest but they just love telling lies that suit their sides.
I want to point out that Ivan’s translations can be slightly off at some points and it can definitely be misinterpreted. He seems to be a good English speaker compared to the average Russian citizen however
Regarding the last discussed topic (the massacre in B.), there is a book in French by Michel Collon and co (a well-known investigative journalist and activist from Belgium specialising in topic of war and propaganda) titled "Ukraine La Guerre des Images" (The War of Images), and hence a lot of pictures, citations, sources; a lot of work went into preparation of the book. I wish the book was available in English. Well, so far I managed to read just a few fragments (after all the book is in French), nevertheless, I would recommend the book to anyone interested in the war in Ukraine. Right now I have the book in front of me. The topic of that B. massacre is discussed on pages 182-219. On page 212 there is a kind of summary; the answers to questions like: "Who? When? Where? How? Why?" According to the book, there are two versions of what had happened in B: "version black" represented by the West that Russians killed those people, and "version white" represented by Russia that the whole thing was staged. The author(s) conclusion is that the "version grey in between" is more correct, and the causes of death of about 400 people there are more complex that we in the West were led to believe. The book divides the victims into four categories: 1st: soldiers of both armies who perished in fighting, 2nd: civilians killed by artillery fire, 3rd: civilians killed "voluntarily" by both armies e.g. in an act of panic or in an act of war crime, and 4th category (most interesting in the context of the interview): "pro-Russians" killed by Kiev forces in a punitive operation which happened after Russian forces withdrew - and this is in connection to the food rations (mentioned be the interviewed guys) given by Russian soldiers to Ukrainian civilians when Russian forces were withdrawing. Yes, this had happened and unfortunately, it appears (according to the book) that Ukrainian forces murdered those civilians who were found with Russian food rations as traitors and blamed the Russians for it. But of course why would Russians kill the very people to whom they just handed food rations?. There are a couple of pictures (page 204) of dead civilians with those Russian food rations next to them. There is much more more in the book on this topic (e.g. timing, speculations whether it was a false flag operation (SBU, MI6), whether the purpose was to derail Russo-Ukrainian negotiations in Istanbul at the time, and so on). Once again, I wish there was an English version of the book. And by the way, I enjoyed your interview.
The subtitle of the book is: 50 exemples de désinformation (disinformation). In other words the book gives many examples of how we are being manipulated and lied to in the context of war in Ukraine.
Glad someone is talking about this... Fate of pro russian ukrainians is never reported.
could be punitive from Russian side as well, armored convoy was totally destroyed there in the artillery ambush.
@@yegordoush8307 Very true, at least not in the western mass media. In this case however some people got killed by special Ukrainian units simply because they were pragmatic and not ideological enough to refuse freebees (food rations and stuff) from the Russians. And then the whole thing has been skewed in media propaganda campaign to prolong the war. This is horrific.
The most valuable commentary below this video. Thanks.
Excellent content Willy. No one else has the balls to do what you’re doing, keep up the good work!
Fun fact: Special Military Operation was invented by the USA...
The translator is unfair and says rude things Wagner guy never said,like he said that Ukrainians ran to west because of money west offers while in Russia they would need to work just as hard as in Ukraine to live a decent life,the Wagner guy never called them nasty names,he just said that the younger generation of women have better opportunity in the west to find a rich western man or because in EU prostitution is legalized,so for them economically running to west is a better option(As a person from Baltics I can say that our prostitution market is overflooded with UA women who have husbands fighting in war,so it's sadly the reality) while at the same time the Wagner guy said that UA men are ready to work for low salaries in EU,he never really demonized the people,the translator is unfair,he makes this Wagner guy look dumb when he actually says a lot of logical decent neutral things without any hatred.
His explanation why Ukrainians ran to the west and not Russia is 100% correct,UA ppl here in Baltics have bigger salaries and dont pay for their apartments,they are basically for at least now are treated as African migrants,they dont even have to know the language to work here.
The reason they didnt run to Russia or didnt stay in Ukraine is because Ukrainians for 30 years have been brainwashed into materialism,majority of them have no patriotic views and they dont want to live in a glorious Ukraine,majority,especially women care only about their economical wellbeing.That's what Wagner guy said,thats why majority ran to Europe.
The translator blabbered smth about drugs and UA being lowlives. Wagner itself it very respectful and view UA as equals,I noticed it from every soldier and Prigozhin speaking,all of them are very well mannered which surprised me,they dont sound like zeks(low life prisoners),they sound almost spiritual when they speak almost like priests when it comes to their ideology,very spiritual and calm with some dark humour.
Sadly non-Russian speakers wont know this.
Thanks for the translation. Sounds like Mexico.
You ask why Russia want USA out of Ukraine? Why dont USA allow Russian army in Mexico or Cuba? Are you claim that USA empire is benevolent and just want to help Ukrainians to live better? Come on grow up
There was a Russian naval ship docked at Cuba months ago, there’s are also Russian agents stationed in Cuba, you saying you support usa flattening Cuba?
@@James-9999 USA trying to come on the Russian border and put Nuclear weapons there. Russia can't deploy army on Cuba and try to invade USA. It is hard to accept that you are on the wrong side of history. USA is empire and they want to plunder every country on this planet including Russia

Is that a joke? I'll be honest, I was hoping for some thoughtful insight. Instead, these morons just got thrown a bunch of softballs which they then smashed with the exact same ridiculous rhetoric which they claimed not to listen to.
This is like letting the old racist grandpa rant for two hours because we "need to hear both sides". What a fucking waste. This is disgraceful and the world deserves better than the worst conspiracy theories these giggling Russian clowns are inclined to blab on about.
You guys dont understand how nato played Ukraine in to war with Russia, thats so sad... this war is like brother vs brother because of a woman. YOU NEVER SHOULD FIGHT BECAUSE OF A WOMAN (in this case the woman is Usa/Eu/nato).
Ukrainians should arrest that corrupt criminal clown Zelensky and other criminal politicians.

The most interesting and funniest are small chats between those two russian guys they dont translate 😅😅
You just said the translator did a great job and now You say how funny is what is not translated. So I was right You are kacapka.
@@imatrOlda u should speak Russian understand russian people to understand what was not translated.
I'm sure in every language there is something that sounds very funny only for native speakers .
It was unnecessary to translate all it has nothing to do with war .
The translator didn't too well. At 24:30, the meaning of all these sentences is as follows: Mercenaries in the West earn much more than Russian ones, and faced much less risks due to fighting with less advanced militaries than their own, therefore, they can count on earnings. Therefore, it is obvious that the line between a mercenary and a volunteer in the post-Soviet space is being erased, and mercenaries have more personal motivation than just cash.
At 1:37:54 he forgot to translate part: about the fact that in Ukraine media representatives are prohibited from visiting the line of contact at all.
I personally wonder what "hard evidence" Willy meant at 2:44:56, if journalists went there a long time after Ukrainian army, and I personally have not seen this "camera footage" with executions even in the Western media.
willy was talking BS and could not provide any evidence when the guy asked him
17:00 - "Yes because I understand what War does to a peoples, and I didn't want to see this to happen ***"
I understand Russian, the translator was good, but not exact, which is a shame as the guy seems more down to earth and humane than comes off when watching and listening to both.
Wow, this is one for the history books. Good job securing this one Willy 👍🏽
from 27 to 30 I'll just translate this long shpiel in the Summary, which is pretty much the mentality of Russian military towards Ukrainian. - We are fighting our own Mirrored Enemy. They're influential slavic (brothers) who grew up on the same culture, entertainment, values (from USSR and prior).
Блин, парни реально крутые. Респект за взгляды
He supports the SMO based on the Russophobia coming out of Ukraine. Makes perfect sense.
Many westerners like me support russia defending it's self. We are ashamed. we have lost control of our destiny as we are ruled by elites that make decisions for us... glory to Russia and its noble quest.
Well, they do kinda despise russians, always did. I have seen it even outside of russia or ukraine that those two dont always go well together, centuries of bad history and people in those parts are too stubborn to let it go.
@@DerDrecksack87well u can’t blame Ukrainians for not liking Russians can you
@MrTangolizard and same goes for Russians. Ukraine was the side that declared its own people separatists and terrorists after they voted to leave ukraine. Ukraine is responsible for this conflict escalating continually... all they had to do was respect its own populous, but instead, they chose the authoritarian power-hungry fascist route... 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇷🇺 LPR DPR
@@Matt-so8xf I bet in your head that sounded great didn’t it ? Of course Ukraine classed districts of its own country that wanted to separate from Ukraine as seperatives why the hell wouldn’t they ? And the only people to blame for this war is the Russian government simple as that if Russian leaves all Ukrainian land no war simple as that
we have a russian soldier and a mercenary, both of which took part in the most brutal war of the 21st century and somehow they look friendlier than your average American citizen.
Looks can be deceiving
Any Western, Russian, Chinese or Japanese person will have an ancestor who took part in the most brutal war in history (Ww2). We are cut from the same cloth

This interview was well done, and you asked some tough questions, that where answered in a honest sometimes funny manner. Unlike you Willy, I'm not so convinced about your Bucha certainty, since Scott Ritter, Colonel Douglas McGreggor, Seymour Hersh, The Greyzone with Max Blumenthal and Aron Mathe, Eva Karene Bartlett, Thomas Roeper, Ray McGovern, George Galloway Jim Jones, and many more quite well informed journalists, Politicians, Military Experts raised serious doubts. You referred to CTV evidence, which is laughable, since you can not guaranty that those can not be manipulated, , same applies to Satelite "Evidence". So your believe in it, is rather "Faith Based".

The Glass Cleaner Drink demonstration was pricelessly funny, that what I call real good Russian humor, that goes quite deep, when you start thinking about it. A humor that was more invested in the old world, sadly political correctness and wokeness exorcized them form our Bohemian past. A kind of humor, that breaches the cultural barriers we currently are being exposed to.

Я все интервью угарал))))
That’s funny comments. The most of commentators don’t now anything about “ground zero” of this conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The first that you should know about Wagner is the strong discipline. One of the basic rules is “better die than surrender” like in their hymn “two grenades - one for the enemy, second - for myself”. You can find several vibes, where Wagner’s kills themselves, when they surrounded by the enemy. In their own mythology sledgehammer is the symbol of Tor’s Melnir like the weapon of retribution.
A true attempt at journalistic impartiality. Hats off.The reason many people don’t like the views of the ( prescribed) “enemy”being aired is that they don’t want them to have the opportunity to be humanised. It makes persuading the native audience of the need for them to be destroyed much harder.
Pretty sure they do quite well on their own dehumanizing themselves.
