On September 5, the Ukrainian government and the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) came to a ceasefire agreement after talks were held in Minsk, Belarus. But before the ceasefire went into effect that evening, both sides launched attacks on each other. The DNR assaulted Ukrainian positions in the city of Mariupol, while the Ukrainians attacked DNR checkpoints on the road leading from Mariupol to Donetsk.
VICE News headed north of Donetsk to the town of Yasynuvata to check on reports that the town had come under fresh artillery fire that left residents living in their basements and without basic amenities.
As the ceasefire held the next day, civilians in the village of Telmenovo were picking through the ruins of their homes, which were hit by shelling in the hours before the ceasefire began. We also traveled to Novoazovsk to speak with a local DNR commander who had little faith the ceasefire would hold for long.

@@cardenas8995 actually many of them were produced till late sixties and even seventies and after that most of them were preserved in special warehouses in lubricant. It was stored there until early 90's, when most of them were sold, because nobody had money in former USSR countries. But some of them managed to stay safe in those warehouses till those days. So it is just like brand new. And you can easily find ammunition for it, because it uses stock 9mm parabellum bullets, which are popular today too.

How do you figure that? It's like me trying to describe America and picking only some criminal and gopnik types. Different people have joined the Rebellion for totally different reasons. And the Rebellion itself is just the tip of the iceberg. Like yesterday I'm watching a perfectly neutral travel blog about my beloved Kharkov and they're showing the former Dzerzhinsky Square and there it is- Petlyura's red and black flag! So they destroyed the statue of Lenin because it was traumatizing them but they don't give a rat's ass that that frigging flag is traumatizing us. End of story.

***** Putin has stated that there's thousands of Russian troops on "vacation" in Ukraine and it's not his problem if they decided to fight for the rebels. Putin needs to man up and stop being a fucking pussy. Just like at the start of this conflict when there were thousands of troops taking over Ukrainian military bases and they were all wearing the same uniform. Once again Putin said they weren't Russian troops. There is also an article that has an instagram of a well known Russian Alpha Group member showing him with weapons in Ukraine. That means there's Russian special forces fighting as well.

What I don't understand is why all the civilians keep putting the blame on Poroshenko and the Ukrainian Army for their current situation rather than the pro-Russian rebels, because if they hadn't taken up arms against their own government in the first place, none of this would have happened and these people would be living in peace. It sucks they get caught in the crossfire, but it's the pro-Russian rebels' fault that they won't back down and stop fighting the government. (Though it seems to be a majority of old people who are saying this so I guess they're just longing for the days of the Soviet Union... for whatever the fuck reason that is.)

That grenade launcher is an AGS-30, production started in 1995, and only used by 5 countries in the world none of which start with a letter "U". At this point, you can't doubt there's any Russian involvement, but you can't doubt there's not Western involvement as well. Both sides' grunts know that the cease-fire never works, and it's always alternating hands on who is firing into one another's territory breaking the ceasefires. It's a vicious cycle at this point, one side will always retaliate for the actions of the other. Civilians will always die, and both sides will be to blame. In this war, there's no right or wrong, just whoever you favor - Russia or the EU.

@biggold8576 10 жыл бұрын

Rebels do not have these types of weapons because they cannot buy them or use them. It takes a year to learn how to use artillery with any accuracy. And it takes a trained unit to operate. And these "rebels" never run out of shells. These "rebels" never run out of food or fuel. These "rebels" have better logistic skills then fedex. Rebels go home at night, these men never leave. Rebels suffer without food, these men never go hungry. And most of these "rebels" killed or captured were russians on vacation. My point is that i doubt any offensive "rebels" are from Ukraine. I think the real rebels from Ukraine see little to no fighting. I think these well trained fighters we see now are russians who are better supplied than Ukraines National Gaurd are all elite russian forces.

Even if they retake the area under military control they will still be attacked by separatists from the underground backed by the majority of native russian people. Russia is not officialy going into the terretory cause it doesnt want an escalation war in whole east europe. And they have no reason to take any territory that is not inhabited by majority of russian people.

I feel really bad for the civilians living situation, but they have to believe that Poroshenko is doing everything he can to help. He is not just sitting in his office playing solitaire. Its a slippery slope now, because the pro-russian forces are attacking and the Ukrainian troops are standing their ground and defending, so I believe it is hard to send aid, as it may be risky. Hopefully everything will stop soon and all will get better.

Since about the time of the Russian humanitarian aid convoi the rebels have been pushing back Ukrainian troops on most fronts. There were also up to three encirclements where a lot of Ukrainain troops and volunteer battalions were entrapped. Right up to the "ceasefire" it looked like the rebels were encircling Mariupol to take it from Ukraine.

I am sorry, but I just don't understand the complaints from the people of the DNR. They complain about Poroshenko and ask why he is doing this if he loves Ukraine and its people. Do the people of the DNR even count as Ukrainians anymore seeing that they want to separate and eventually join Russia? I know shelling civvies is wrong, but how can you complain if you are with the other side. They are enemies of the rest of Ukraine but they still feel as if they should be treated as a Ukrainian. They should be treated as Russians seeing that is what they want to be. I hate to be a dick but I am just saying that they are sheer idiots if they think that the Ukrainian military will protect them when they choose to be on the side of the people that hate and fight with western Ukrainians. It just doesn't make sense...

This DPR Commander gave me a laugh. 6 of them held of a Company-sized Tank assault...for 3 days??? Highly doubtful because while I have seen how some of these Ukrainian Troops switched sides at the beginning and/or are in low spirits due to not being given the proper amounts of equipment and clear orders, there are more that are wanting to fight for their country. So I would guarantee that not only was the attack point reconned prior to the attack, there were probably infantry that also did reconnaissance during the fight and would have known that there were only 6 guys and thrown everything at them.
