Ukraine went to the polls this weekend to choose a new president, but pro-Russia separatists in the east did everything they could to stop voters from taking part. The stakes are especially high because while the rebels deem the interim government illegal, the Ukrainian authorities are desperate to see a strong people's mandate bestowed on a new leader who is able to quell the rebellion. VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky visited a polling station in Donetsk that was actually running, as people cast their votes and the fate of the country was decided. Pro-European businessman and "chocolate king" Petro Poroshenko was later declared the election winner. Poroshenko said that his first goal in office would be to resolve the crisis in eastern Ukraine, which so far is not showing any sign of ending.

9:30 That lady has guts. She deserved way more respect. The irony of those Russian separatists, calling her fascist and worse while they were the ones who were interfering with her freedom of choosing according to her own thinking.
And it just shows what kind of separatists these people really are.
***** I wasn't aware of that. It really is interesting. There was a Donbass battalion soldier in another dispatch who said that some ethnic Russians were helping them, that they saw this whole fight has a freedom vs fascism, not Russians vs Ukrainians. For Putin, I think that it must have been a tragedy for him because Moscow can no longer dictate what their satellite states can do, even though he still tries to.
HenrySims Putin said he was going to help Ukraine defeat the pro Russians..
The grown adult "man" that attacked her while she was just simply standing there, truly demonstrating PEACEFULLY, was disgusting. Those kinds of actions against peaceful people really make the pro-Russians appear aggressive and against peace. I am not, and have not been for either side because I feel both sides have been lying and spreading propaganda that makes it hard to favor either side, but that crap made me sick. Sorry excuses for men to put hands on a woman like that. If that's how most of the other pro-Russians behave, then I don't blame Ukrainians for wanting to move away from Russia. They call her scum as their friends finished attacking her because they simply don't agree with her; look in the mirror.
***** I beg to differ. Look at Germany 25 years ago and now. Look at Poland and the Baltic states as well, their countries joined NATO and the EU to safeguard themselves from Russia, so that they could protect their national identity. In the end, this is all what this is about. So that Ukraine can protect it's own national identity by any means. If they truly feel Russian, they wouldn't have Maidan and these protests. If they feel Russian they would just have accepted Yanucovich deal with Russia and move along with it. The true mess is in the East of the country where people confuse their nationality with ethnicity and so on.
Omg , this woman just showed her passport, where it says that she is Ukrainian. How can those people call her Fascist or whatever ???!!!!!! A few hundreads of separatist will be calling 45 million just like that cause they wish so . I think we ve just seen who is who
Ога, есль кто покажет российский паспорт на западе Украины - того просто молча убьют.
JustBy KapyPuf никто никого не убьет
JustBy KapyPuf кто тебе это сказал ??? Хватит цитировать ложь из Rt и прочих продажных сми кремля . Фашисты - эта та группа слабоумных на востоке , которые ненавидят все украинское , грабят , убивают , насилуют и самое главное - прикрываются религией .
Janis Ladigs Exactly, I still like the fact that the woman was still standing there, and all those Pro-Russian supporters got all mad at her. Funny thing that they are calling her a sell out when it seems like they all got sold into Russia. I'm sorry, but Russia needs to get the hell out of there. Maybe you might ask why I said, Russia, well, those little green men didn't come from China, nor the USA.
Because they are dumb, thats all. You know as I´m watching it... the "pro russian" people in vostok, are mostly people with lower inteligence and have simplerer thinking. They fell that something huge is not good in ukraine, but the only way they are able to do something about it is what we have sen in this video.
Ukrainian Flag in Ukraine? Whaaaaaat?
**screams in Door**
That lady was more brave than a lot of the police in eastern Ukraine
Big respect to the woman holding the passport at the end of the video.
she is a hero
I love how the crowd cries "FASCIST!" and "DIE SCUM!" and the guy tried to rip her ID out of her hand. Those people use the word Fascist like the word Communist was used throughout the Cold War in the United States. After looking up the multiple definitions of Fascism and reading the comments, I think we all can agree the separatists are the real fascists.
100%! It drives me crazy that they cannot realize this.
Separatists and russians are fascist for sure. Separatists are worse than russians though because not only are they fascists, but also traitors
I don't think so....I see no POLITICAL movement here. These "separatist" are locals, who have clearly had enough from the fascist who slaughter them based on Russian nationality, which is absurd considering Ukraine was given, and owned by Russia. The last 23 years these people have been suffering at the hands of elite's who have no interest in there well being. Videos today show them still being slaughtered, calling the losses Russian losses....no, your killing locals that have had enough.
Z
It’s reminds me of the KKK in USA 🇺🇸 in 1960’s, trying to wipe out the black peoples
Old lady gets attacked just because she is for Ukraine!!! Come on stop with the intimidation and calling people fascists because they don't agree with your ideas.
Boo Mario At least she wasn't killed for it like some others.
Let me ask you something. Are you still in favour of Ukraine after 9 years?
@@cupitor8950why would it change? ukraine has not committed any act of aggresion that wasnt defensive
It's funny these people don't understand what fashism is but keep screaming it around all the time.
I don't really understand what problem these separatists have. If they love Russia more than their native country, they can move to Russia. Very simple solution.
***** Just like they think Ossetia and Konigsberg are theirs, too.
***** wrong, konigsberg was won after the war, with no blood on the russian side.
It seems simple you would think but lets say for example many mexicans that live in new mexico in the US want that state part of mexico again.. the thing is the Mexicans that want it to be part of mexico are not US americans and they feel like it should be part of mexico again because they feel like in history it was took away from them and there the majority of that state so there word counts. Of course the US government would never allow that to happen because it is US territory, so a fight will happen .... (that was just a example)
that is what is happening in Ukraine, REAL Ukrainians want there country to them selves not be dictate by the Russians, The Eastern Ukraine are majority Russian and not Ukrainian so they feel like they are the majority and feel like they can take away the Ukrainian land away from the Ukrainians.
I agree if they want to be Russian move back to Russia, that simple. That land is Ukraine, If you don't like Ukraine then move. Russia is the problem though, this would never happened if Putin government didn't corrupt this. People think Putin is a nice guy are kidding them selves. Putin has a lot of blood on his hands, that guy i can say is evil, he doesn't care about people lives or doing the right thing and allow Ukraine run there own government. If he really cares for those people in the east he would ask them to move back to russia. but insteAD HE WANTS A WAR TO START BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE GUY IS.
Yes, we here in Serbia had the same idea in '99.
Dejan Andric
very true but the difference in Serbia is that people of Kosovo didnt have a country to go to . the only thing was happening to them was mass genocide and huge graves. Serbs didnt want them there and there was no where for them to go so , Serbs just mass killings. Kosovo never was sucked up by a bigger country, instead the people are protected in there new country because they don't have any. People of Kosovo at the beginning wasn't trying to steal there land. they lived peaceful with the Serbs for long time before a new government want Only Serbs
Russians that live in east Ukraine have a place to go and there own country- It is called Russia :) I bet the Ukrainian would like Russians live in there country if they don't try to steal there land from them.
You see the difference?
Hats off to that brave lady who dared to stand for Ukraine alone.
People some of us like FACTS ok, if you don't, go watch Russia Today. Got it?
God bless you if you think that Vice is not biased
Shmeks everything and everyone is biased.
Shmeks Simon goes and reports what he sees and that's that, RT shows you a video and then tells you their opinion from the Russian perspective. Attacking good people like Simon makes people dislike you even more.
Gareth Schatynski Well said sir, I totally agree!
dim loboda well, the pro Russians did lock him up without charge for a few days and beat him up. If that doesn't make you biased I don't know what will. Kudos to him for staying in the country after that!
"Did the cat vote already?"
Why yes the cat voted and it says fuck Russia :)
Good work Vice News, keep it up!
I want real news, not the bullshit from other media.
***** No sir, I should wach news directed by putin himself, showing soldiers with flowers and how everybody loves everybody.
Whoever writes news there learned allot from Gobbels ;)
***** I am not supporting murder, but again if I pull a gun in my country, and try to "take over" territory they will fire back, so will in any country.
As I said, try that shit in russia, se how far you go.
All these pro russians keep terrorizing people, raising flags and starting a war against people who want to vote, who want DEMOCRACY!
Pro russians wield guns, while pro-ukranians use pen and paper.
Who's the dumb fuck here?
***** You just want to start arguments.
I say
"Good work Vice News, keep it up!
I want real news, not the bullshit from other media."
You say
" Value life dumb fuck. Stop dehumanizing people so murdering them becomes acceptable."
Did I say anything about killing civilians being good?
If I did please point that out.
Enough of propaganda, stop making up things I didn't say, I always called for peacefull solutions and democracy, but people keep calling to arms and want a war.
Also as I said in another comment
"I am just reading the news about last conflicts.
First source says 50 soldiers and 50 civilians, 2nd (official) source says 38 soldiers and 2 civilians
can't find a source about 100 civilians being killed, please link (prefferably in english since I don't speak ukranian/russian)"
I am not omnipresent, I can't know everything, if you can link me to reliable sources, please do.
Share information, don't start arguments, having a real war there is enough, no need to have people start them on internet.
***** Both sides did and are doing horrible things.
I listen to many news sources, but most of them don't have the currage to step 1 foot inside that country, that's why I love vice news.
They don't "report" from the office and provide 3 different contradicting informations (just read a "local" news source, that just happened).
Than there are "all is fine in pro-russian part of ukraine, and in urkanian part of ukraine everybody is killing little babies" types of news (what I call putin news).
And same happens on other side (what I call Gobbels news in those "reespectfull" sources).
Ah about the atrocities, sorry I don't read the news based on how big the "killcount" is and am still trying to find reliable sources for those things (again, if you can link me, that would be great).
But my cusin got killed by a pro-russian extremist, and that's all the bad news I can take at this moment.
But what I see is pro-russians raising guns and starting hostile actions, what's the democracy there?
Even PUTIN said there should be a peacefull solution, and than you see them send convoys of armed men, like putting a rose on a gun stands for anything, a gun is a gun and it's usage is clear.
Human life is a human life, and sorry for being skeptic with news sources, hey if I heard news of pro-russians burning 50 ukranians without any confirmation, I would be skeptic about it.
If you have a source that is valid, link it, I would be happy to read it.
(also sorry, I call kidnapping and terrorizing, acts of terrorizm, what else you call gangers going door to door making sure voting does not happen, I didn't see anything like that happen when Crimea voted to become part of russia, wich I firmly acknowlage)
*****
Get a life Jack, your faux peace drums fall silent upon logical and capable ears. Your paranoia has driven you to hate all and value none and claim a personal Jihad against anyone that isn't Jack Stone. War and Change is seldom easy or neat Jack, that is life, but you don't throw a fit because it happens.
Why the fuck did they attack that woman in first clip? They want "freedom", yet they dont allow it to others? Retaards, at least those two guys, not everyone.
It's very hard to be patient toward those who support invaders (Ukrainian army).
You need to explain or comment will get deleted because makes no sense.
eTheBlack Ukrainian army is bombing cities of this region and killing citizens. Ukrainian media calls these people terrorists. So its logical for them to despise those who support current Ukrainian govt.
Zorin I Hmmm first time I hear that. Will have to look into that. I don't think they call protesters terrorists, but those who actually destroy governements building and terrorize other people, just like they did attack that woman. But this is going both sides. But that doesn't mean you have to attack woman standing on side of road and express her opinion. This is not midddle ages.
But then she might be hired actor? But then everyone can be that, and we cant think that, because that will just separate us from real problems. And this problem just keep people separated from each other and easier to control... I think this is just another game of wealthy people, who like to control people. And it is easier to control 50% people with some ideology and then another half with other ideology. But I guess people aren't ready for that just yet. But remember this is just my opinion and I could be one of those 1% or you could be that.
And maybe that is only solution for peace in long run, I get their ideas and kinda like it, but it is too harsh.
Zorin I You're obviously not a very bright person. So far we can see evidence of so called "pro-Russian separatists" intimidating, kidnapping and murdering people who don't agree with them and you have the nerve to call the Ukrainian army "invaders"?
Endless kudos to the ukrainian woman showing her passport, even after the confrotation
Much respect to that brave lady showing her support with her Ukranian I.D. right next to the pro-Russian parade.
This is by far the best vice series ever.
AND will stay its best. Quality has been dropping over the years. Cheers if your still reading this after all this time.

Watching my way through atm, outstanding journalism, an incredible insight into the instability we are seeing in the region today.
@@EaterOfCheese from a bunch of people going to police stations to... i wont spoil you. totally insane.
It's even more incredible now! Remember watching it almost a decade ago and being blown away, now it's even more relevant and absolutely historical!
God help that women with the passport.
I have a lot of respect for the policemen who defended that brave woman from the Russian separatists, especially the policeman who picked up her passport and gave it back to her. Good men, right there.
The funny thing is that she said she was from the Tula Region; that's in Russia. A Russian Woman standing up for Ukraine against the so-called "Separatists", rather terrorists.
@@nitricoxide5899she was the only one there with an IQ above roomtemperature.
Intimidating voters & then calling them fascists. Yikes, the lack of self awareness 🤦♂️
That’s how the world has always been. You have one side that blatantly acts as the aggressor but shout at the top of their lungs that the people they’re bullying were the aggressor against them. It’s all just meant to disinform and discredit their oppositions beliefs.
The fascists are the ones who roasted the protesters in Odessa in 2014. 50 people were burnt alive. Read about it. Fascists are those who started shelling their own civilians and who started calling civilians and all dissenters terrorists. Fascists are those who decided that one part of the nation was not worthy to live in Ukraine, providing them with a hell of an existence for 8 years - under fire and without any conscience. Woke
Why don't you say anything, brainwashed?
Did the cat vote already?😂
there is absolutly no doubt who the BAD GUYS are in this conflict .............i pray that the Ukrainian army demolishes these separatist/mercenaries soooooooooo bad ! Go Ukraine !
All the Pro Russain patriots here on youtube should go to Donetsk and volunteer to be reinforcements for the DPR. You guys sound like a tough bunch here in your comments. Im sure you could handle it.
Ask them to send you to the Airport there....I hear they need reinforcements there pretty badly...
Can't wait until the United States completely flattens out your primitive fairy tale believing country. Go back to the caves where you belong you useless neanderthals.
TLM I don't think you understood his comment. lol
TLM
I....I really dont know how to respond to that one.
Thats hawt
TLM oh yes because calling someone out on the youtube comments makes you a more evolved human. Get your hypocrisy out of here
7:34 vote kitty is not amused
When did they get the fascist idea? Could someone explain me that.
Russian propaganda.
It's the best Russia can do, even though the Fascist parties only got 2% of the vote.
Eralun It may be the best they can do--and obviously it is working. People are fired up to protect themselves from "the fascists who are hanging people for simply being ethnic Russians".
From Right Sector protesters during the Euromaidian. They support the Ukrainian Insurgent Army which was an organized group of Ukrainian nationalist that supported and assisted in ethic cleansing with the Nazi's in WWII also known as the Volhynian massacre.
dzjad
It is literally a case of, 'If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.'
One of the first things the rebels did, was taking over broadcasting towers (which also happened in Crimea) turning of all Ukrainian T.V/Radio & then replacing it with only Kremlin channels.
ShockinglyBleh
The anti-Polish massacres didn't involve the Nazi's it was purely a UPA 'operation'.
Incidentally the UPA fought against the German occupation of Ukraine.
Simon keep up the good journalism and be careful.
I wonder if he can hold things in his chin.
Not as much as what you like to keep in your ass.
BUURNN!!!!!!!!! DAYYYUUM@!@!!! ITS ALL OVER!!!!!!!
Lol Jay Kay
I’ve watched all of your reports. I love the Russian Roulette series!
Congratulations to Vice News and tothe reporters Simon Ostrovsky and Harry Langston!
Props to that Ukrainian lady at the end. May God bless her heart :)
Attacking someone for expressing a different viewpoint than you while decrying "fascism." The irony is lost on no one.
Ирония в том, что на Украине с противоположным мнением её точно растерзали, но не на Донбассе! Донбасс - Россия! Украина страна 404
That's so sexy seeing the absence of russian anti-Ukrainian comments. Like breath of fresh air.
tobby tob spam: unsolicited or undesired electronic messages.
Yep, that's it!
There aren't too little of them, CIA upped their game recently and started hiring people who speak Ukrainian, and they started hiring them for cheap seeing as they aren't really in it for money.
There are still people with a little bit of common fucking sense, but their voices are barely heard with all the Nazism radiating from west Ukraine.
Dejan Andric
Explain to me how exactly how Ukrainians can be Nazis? Last I checked they were of a Slavic descent and not Germanic nor Aryan. The whole point of the National Socialist movement was to proclaim the superiority of the Aryan race and to get revenge for what they felt was an unjust punishment for the Treaty of Versailles.
Are you absolutely sure that you mean Nazi and not Fascist? And if you do mean Fascist, you need to learn what Fascism is also. Fascism is where a country is controlled through a single authoritarian governmental structure (usually a dictator) that enforces its rule through means of military force.
Also, why would the CIA ever be concerned with Ukraine? That is not a place of any sort of strategic significance to the U.S. The Eromaidan movement came from the Ukrainians due to the corruption and crimes of their former prime-minister..not because the big-bad-boogieman CIA agents were trying to pull a fast one over on good ol' Putin. Why don't you practice what you preach, use some common sense, and do some actual research on the topic?
The Leo Let's start from the top.
Karl Marx invented Marxism, out of which communism originated. Does that mean you *have to be* German in order to be a communist? No, i believe it does not.
Next class, we have the "What are the US interests in Ukraine".
Well, first off kids, you have to drill into your skulls that a major factor in all this is a war of prestige, something that the USA lives on, something the USA cannot live without.
If the US does not prove itself superior to Russia in this situation, they will lose prestige, and their smaller allies (allies on which the other rich countries of the western alliances survive on) will lose trust in their bigger partners, resulting in them searching for new big brothers. And who would that be, you ask kids? Well of course, the rival the west completely despises, Russia and China, and their little ship called BRICS.
Don't be naive, that "Why would the west want Ukraine?" argument is a comment I have seen at least 20 times in VICE comment section, so let me ask you, if that was such an effective point, don't you think I would be proven wrong so far and quit what I am doing? Didn't really think that one through, did you. Well, you're new to all this so I'll let this one slide, but think through your comments from now on.
Dejan Andric
Communism is not Nazism..two completely different governmental structures. Nazism was actually derived form a French idea of National Syndicalism but was later adapted to Nazism by Adolph Hitler when he was in prison after WWI. Communism was based on Marx, but was created by Lenin (which is why you see so many Lenin statues all over Russia and former republics of the USSR instead of Karl Marx). Both have a history of Fascism, but that is pretty much where the similarities end.
Also, the U.S. doesn't really give two shits about "proving itself superior to Russia" at all. That is a very childish way to look at a very complex political situation. This isn't the Cold War anymore, Comrade. That ended when the USSR split up and accepted Democracy and Capitalism. Do some research about this. The reason the U.S. is getting pissed about this is because humanitarian groups and the EU are putting pressure on U.S. politicians to do something about it. Plus, Russia is breaking a political treaty that the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine signed back in the 90's that stated that Russia would not try and annex any part of Ukraine's territory as long as Ukraine would dispose of their Nuclear arsenal. It is called the Trilateral Statement, look it up.
Also, I don't follow your every comment to see what other people have said to you or not. The point still remains. Ukraine has little to no strategic relevance to the U.S. If it did, believe me, we would have soldiers in there so quick it would make your head spin. Kind of like what happened when North Korea tried to invade South Korea.
amazing how this guy gets both sides of the conflict, vice give this man and the other guy in the ukraine a raise
You guys somehow managed to miss those droves of 'peaceful' Chechen mercenary fighters and other heavily armed ultra nationally inclined RusFed citizens pouring into independent country.
I saw a clip of that. Made me raise my eyebrow when they stated where they were from... no good going to come from that.
7:33 the cat definitely voted for porschenko💯
Obviously. The cat is smarter than the average Russian or pro-Russian

Great job, thanks for reporting and putting your selves out there

Weston Smith I would love to see how things would go if they tried that shit in russia.
Day one, small rebel groups form.
Day two, russian army kills small rebel groups XD
Most of the 'Russians' in Ukraine were brought there by the Soviets in the 1940's - 50's.
Eralun Let's not forget aht the natives were "brought out" by soviets.
You can literally see who the bad guys are here.
Such an insight, watching the series right now!
nice to see you back at work Simon

Fascist cat, participating in the elections. Bad kitty!
too bad a lot of these guys died today. (may 27 ) :c
sad
revisory carrot I don't feel sorry for them. You don't meet your demands with guns these days, it only brings more guns into the table. Look at ETA for example. Armed separatists who never achieved their political goal in almost 60 years.
I just meant it was sad because there was no need for this amount of violence. all for peace, but they should have been allowed to separate to before the violence.
Just saw photos in twitter. That's really sad, but they brought it to them selves.
revisory carrot Of course it's sad when people die. But they brought this on themselves. You don't really have anyone else to blame. Kiev gave them a deadline so they could leave the airport. It was more than reasonable for them to leave.

VICE News is always rock, they report true story, no tweaking, no lie.
The cat is like "dafuqq??"
That cat looked like it was about to shit itself.
Look at it this way. If you really cared about what the people wanted you'd support elections. If you thought the elections were in some way 'rigged' you'd still let people vote but help supervise them and encourage the UN to over see them.
The only people who would want to disrupt/prevent the elections (eg. DPR), are people who don't care what the people want and fear the people wouldn't vote in favour of their personal gain.
This is not taking sides, this is purely logic.
Also, more often than not, people who wear balaclavas are doing shit they shouldn't lol
the lady holding up the passport while the pro-Russian supporters paraded by is a very brave lady.

"Did the Cat vote already?" Lel!
I hereby on behalf of all ukrainians want to thank all the english-speaking people here, who understand the situation and support the better part of ukrainian nation.
I never thought I'd say this after the 90's, however Russia is becoming a serious threat. I don't know how our leaders and local militia will deal with it,but I'm hoping it will be settled purely diplomatically as I love Ukrainians and Russians as much as I do my own countrymen. I hope I'm not being overly optimistic when I hope the Russian Federation and NATO will never go to war, as it would lead not only to the ultimate defeat of both nations, but likely the end of civilization as we know it.
Lols at the end haha
That CAT though

Hello from Crimea. I know about this situation, these people against Ukrainian government. But Ukraine opened fire in the ordinary rallies. That's why borned hate to pro-ukrainians. Ukraine must to negotiate with them
Slava Ukraine!!!
LMAO @Did the cat vote already.
Did the cat voted? hahahahahahahaha that killed me XD
Poroshenko is an oligarch and he owns major TV channels that is why! And Simon please go to Odessa and Investigate that massacre where more than 40 people were burned just because they had different point of view!
lol just because they had a different point of view? You should actually watch the videos you're sent to comment on man. Pro-russians fit the literal definition of terrorism. They kidnap, kill, prevent elections, attack innocent women for holding up their passports. But yeah I guess 40 people dyinmg on the pro-russian side WEEKS after the violence started totally justifies invading and annexxing a country. FUckin putinbot

Something the rebels just made up, basically.
I just realized why Simon Ostrovsky looks so familiar, he kinda looks like Shurik from "Operation Ы"
