In the center of Mariupol, there are many destroyed buildings, but also a lot of reconstruction happening. The team was able to freely travel and speak with people in the city. Mariupol is not a ghost town, as people are living their lives there. There is electricity, heating, running water, and internet available. Shops and restaurants are open. The speaker did not mention any restrictions or surveillance.

I learned about the shocking events in the house from the internet. There were horrifying scenes of shooting and fire, resulting in the death of people. It felt like a terrible nightmare, and it was clear that Ukraine was not intending to resolve the issues peacefully. The next day, our protests grew stronger, and people were prepared for more forceful actions.

It's 9 AM on February 28th, 2022. Criminals with military weapons are causing chaos in Kyiv due to the Zelensky regime's distribution of arms. Shootings are not related to Russians but likely gang-related. The regime's actions are irresponsible and harmful to Ukrainian civilians. The speaker, in Ukraine, fears for their safety from armed criminals. The regime's actions will not deter Russians but will lead to civilian deaths. The speaker believes the regime is evil and harming the Ukrainian people.

Speaker 0: Russian rockets continue to cause fear and destruction. Over 30 lives were lost just last night. This is the reality of war. Today, in Kherson, rescue workers were injured due to shelling.

Our house is on fire, be careful. The anti-terrorism operation will not last two or three months. They say there are terrorists here, but who is the terrorist? We are the terrorists. Enough of the criminals. I used to be proud that Ukraine was the only country in the former Soviet Union without war, where the communists peacefully transferred power. But now, contradictions are intensifying. In December 2013, the Euromaidan movement grew in Kiev, motivated by the government's decision to sign an association agreement with the European Union. The protests started as a festival but became more hostile. The situation escalated, leading to a war in the Donbass region. The conflict divided the people, and politicians fueled the discord. The government launched an anti-terrorist operation, and the army began fighting in cities like Sloviansk. The war caused civilian casualties and destruction. The president, Poroshenko, promised peace but continued the conflict. The situation remains dire, with both sides suffering.

At the start of the fighting, Speaker 0 says that not only he, but “everyone in the world” understood the war would end quickly with Russia’s victory. He links this to Russian forces being in Kyiv, especially units that entered from the north. He then says that certain politicians and forces asked Putin to stop, withdraw troops from Kyiv, and conclude a peace agreement. In response—given “a lot of people” dying and that the war was not proceeding exactly according to a previously outlined scenario—Putin agreed and withdrew Russia’s forward units from Kyiv. Speaker 0 states that before this withdrawal many believed Ukraine’s fate was sealed. Speaker 0 notes that some consider the withdrawal a Russian mistake, but he frames it as steps aimed at restoring peace between the conflicting sides. After Russian troops left Kyiv, however, he says that “peace” did not follow. He then claims that his position relied on “objective” developments on the battlefield. He states that if Russia had not withdrawn and had continued the offensive in Kyiv, then—according to him and to representatives of the General Staff—there would have been no Zelensky and no other Ukrainian leaders left there. Speaker 0 also says that, “once again,” those forces “deceived” them, identifying “the Vatican” and “the Jewish lobby of Israel” as actors who, on behalf of Zelensky, declared that they were going toward peace and agreeing, along with “others.” Finally, he says the war has lasted for five years, with no one achieving their goals. He adds that, on the battlefield, Russia has been more successful and continues to advance.

Last visit to hospital: thousands sheltered, medical staff worked tirelessly. Children with war wounds received exceptional care. Now, silence of death, no care for children, doctors unable to help.

The organizers are disappointed with Russia and feel abandoned by the armed people inside the building. They are not as powerful as they had hoped to be and do not trust Kyiv. They believe there is no way to go back from where they are now.

The video shows pictures of refugees in Ukraine who are trying to escape the country. These refugees appear to be middle-class individuals and not from war-torn areas in the Middle East or North Africa. They look like ordinary European families that you would find living next door.

It’s intense in Dimona right now. Look at this—there are smart bombs or drones being deployed. It’s chaotic out here, and it feels like it’s happening all around. The situation is overwhelming, with explosions in every direction. Under Israel's skies, it’s a surreal experience.

The speaker acknowledges that the world may be surprised by the determination of the Ukrainian people to stand up and fight. However, they personally are not surprised, as Ukraine has been fighting against Putin for the past 8 years and has experienced 3 revolutions when they disagreed with the country's direction. They emphasize that this is a critical time, as they are not only fighting for Ukraine but also for a new world order and the democratic countries. They see themselves as the shield for Europe.

The Russians tried to avoid causing destruction in Ukraine during the conflict, hoping for a quick resolution. However, Ukrainian resistance was strong, escalating the situation. Russia controls the air but has not targeted critical infrastructure like trains, power plants, or government buildings in Kyiv. The speaker believes that the decision for peace or war lies with Washington, using Ukrainians as pawns in the conflict.

We planted the US flag to show support for the people enduring hardships. We must end this destruction, support Russia, fulfill goals, and help those affected. I feel proud to stand with amazing people who do so much to assist others. The devastation here is unlike anything I've seen, even in Afghanistan. The work being done is incredible, and we must aid these individuals.

Thank you for being here and for delivering the message to the world about what is happening in our Ukraine. It is quiet here, but we are being protected because everything has been destroyed. They destroyed my granddaughter's school and my house, but thankfully we are still alive. I wonder why the international association and other organizations are not doing anything. When Maidan happened, people were there, but here we are being killed and nobody can do anything or come to an agreement. It is frustrating, guys. I beg you, please help us for God's sake. Thank God we are alive.

Russia aimed to avoid widespread destruction in Ukraine, preserving infrastructure like electrical systems and bridges, hoping for a quick return to normalcy. However, Ukrainian resistance proved unexpectedly strong, with soldiers displaying remarkable bravery. Despite Russia's air dominance, they have refrained from targeting key areas, including Kyiv's central buildings and train systems, in a bid for peace. The situation has escalated, but the decision for war or peace seems to rest more with Washington, D.C., rather than Ukraine itself. As long as the U.S. supports the conflict, it appears that Ukrainians will continue to fight, potentially at a great cost.

Europe is portrayed as moving toward a potential large-scale war with Russia, while diplomats in Ukraine are said to be “doubling down” instead of leaving despite Russia’s warnings of an imminent massive bombing attack. The discussion frames Russia as rarely bluffing, stating it typically signals what it will do and then carries it out, particularly by shifting from restrained actions to a “new phase” of greater danger. Former CIA officer Larry Johnson says Russia held back from striking key areas in Kyiv four years ago, when the city was encircled and Russia had only one artery out. He argues that Russia previously lacked the full inventory of weapons and personnel needed to confront NATO but that Russia now has them. Johnson says the tone shift began about three weeks earlier when Dmitry Puliantsky, described as Russia’s ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and a former UN official, stated Europe was on the target list because of Europe’s support for attacks described as terrorist attacks inside Russia. Johnson says the position was reinforced by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Rypkow and then finalized by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in comments to Marco Rubio, including that Russia is giving the West notice and time to vacate. Johnson emphasizes that attacks on civilian targets that involve bombing and killing civilians are described as terrorism, regardless of the actor. He also says Russia held back until it could remove intelligence assets—people and operational support personnel—from sites linked to CIA, SBU, and defense headquarters, so the warning is aimed not only at diplomats but also at secondary personnel supporting military and intelligence operations. In response to questions about how hard it would be for infiltrators to leave, Johnson describes operational tradecraft and argues Russia likely penetrated sectors across military, intelligence, law enforcement, and diplomatic areas. He says Russia makes a calculation about whether information gained from assets is more valuable than destroying them, and that Russia has decided to destroy units now. He adds that public handling of the warnings can enable assets to avoid detection by not showing up to work without triggering immediate suspicion. On the scale of escalation, Johnson describes the next phase as moving from intermittent attacks to “high speed,” intensifying assaults intended to lay groundwork to reoccupy and take Kyiv, and also take Odessa. He says Russia’s actions reflect a determination that the “special military operation” will enter a new level of activity, and he argues Russia would establish a pro-Russian government rather than leaving it unchanged. He also cites past Soviet/Russian experiences with insurgency and radical jihadist conflict, including efforts involving Ukrainian guerrilla groups and later Chechen conflicts, describing a history of crushing such movements over years. The discussion then shifts to Iran and a “so-called” ceasefire, including reports of a potential 60-day extension requiring President Trump’s sign-off. Johnson says that, within the last 25 minutes, Iran shot down an MQ-9 drone belonging to the Americans in Bushehr province and that over three consecutive days there has been exchange of fire involving the United States’ combat air patrol and Iranians on the ground. The conversation says Iran stopped additional US ships and that shots were fired at a US tanker attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Johnson lists Iranian conditions for agreement: assets being unfrozen immediately, sanctions ending especially on oil, Strait of Hormuz coming under Iranian control alongside Oman, and an environmental fee for ships akin to arrangements in the Dardanelles. He also says Iran’s conditions include stopping the war in Lebanon and stopping killing of Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank. He argues that without Trump forcing the hand of Israel, the ceasefire will not hold, and he says there is no agreement to end fighting because the sides remain far apart, with the Trump administration portrayed as unwilling to accept Iran’s conditions.

I am currently in Donetsk, witnessing the impact of the ongoing conflict. While I am experiencing this moment, I cannot fully grasp the suffering these people have endured for nine years. The effects of shelling are evident, and it’s alarming to see how Western weapons are being used against civilians. The U.S. government is funding this war, contributing to the deaths of innocent children here. This situation is a direct consequence of our government's actions.

We planted the US flag in support of the people enduring hardships here. We must end this destruction and help rebuild. It's crucial to support Russia, achieve our goals, and stop the devastation. I'm proud to stand with incredible people making a difference. The situation here is unlike anything I've seen, even in Afghanistan. The work being done is remarkable, and we must assist these individuals.

Thousands of people have been displaced due to the war in Georgia. Among them is 12-year-old Amanda Kekoiva, who was visiting South Ossetia when the conflict started. She and her family were in a cafe when bombs began falling outside. They sought refuge in her uncle's basement and later fled to Russia before catching a flight back home. Amanda expresses her gratitude to the Russian troops who helped them, clarifying that they were running from Georgian troops. Some of her family members are safe in the north, but others are still in the conflict zone with no contact. Amanda's aunt blames the Georgian government for the conflict and calls for the resignation of its leader. The interview ends abruptly due to a commercial break.

The couple had been together for over a year and three months. They met and immediately started living together. On Saturday, they were at a party when they noticed rockets in the sky. They decided to leave and encountered chaos on the roads. They ran and hid for six hours, fearing for their lives. They couldn't communicate with their friend who was also hiding nearby. Eventually, they were found and rescued. The couple expressed their love for each other and their concern for their friend. They described the experience as a nightmare, like a dream where they had to run from danger.

A society rich in warmth, generosity, and culture is being destroyed. People are being moved to small, uninhabitable areas called safe zones, which lack water, sanitation, and protection. These zones will lead to death. The situation is dire, with children suffering severe burns, shrapnel injuries, and broken bones. Medical workers are overwhelmed, and bombs continue to fall. The desperation is evident, as children in hospitals seek water. The speaker urges the cessation of rocket attacks and the delivery of supplies.

Explosions and sirens are heard as missiles strike military installations in the capital, including the military intelligence headquarters nearby. Russian helicopters are reportedly attacking the airport in the town of Hostomel, located 20 miles from the capital. The situation is tense as the conflict escalates.

I've heard heartbreaking stories of forced displacement in Gaza. Families have minutes to flee before bombings. Many aren't warned. Children are left injured and traumatized. There is no safe place in Gaza.

Journalists gather here as this is where the key events occur. People are angry and frustrated. CNN has been reporting on the story, but we are fine. The heightened fear and anger are evident.

In Mariupol, the city has undergone significant destruction since the Russian takeover. However, the center of the city now features a newly installed fountain, a park, and playgrounds. The drama theater, which was heavily damaged, is being prepared for reconstruction. Despite being in a war zone, the people in this area don't seem worried about the counter offensive. When asked if they want to be liberated by Ukraine, everyone interviewed expressed contentment with their current situation. They enjoy a peaceful life, being able to visit playgrounds and resume work.
