00:00:44I haven't been in Kramatorsk for about a month and a half, and it's hard to say how much the city has changed during this time,
00:00:48first, these dragon's teeth appeared almost everywhere
00:00:52on the streets, and second, in many
00:00:55places here, this hedgehog has appeared, it's just
00:00:58intertwined along the street. Over the last
00:01:0240 minutes of filming here, I
00:01:04counted six drone flights above me and
00:01:08accordingly six explosions. An adjacent intersection, a car is burning
00:01:11out, it was hit by a Russian drone a couple of hours ago. Among the main targets in
00:01:15Kramatorsk are cars, and not always military ones. Natalya's car
00:01:18was attacked simply in the parking lot. A shell
00:01:22flew in here, flew out
00:01:25through the car stereo, flew into...
00:01:40the locals have a joke, if you search, from the remnants of shot down ones you can
00:01:43assemble a new one, value pink
00:01:46charge, explosive, this is its board
00:01:50board initiation,
00:01:54or cumulative jet, people
00:01:57are already used to all this, you understand, so well...
00:02:00where to go, okay, I can go,
00:02:04I'm from Rivne region, what about civilians
00:02:07who are 65, 70,
00:02:1080, where should they go, they are used to it here, this is their home, I
00:02:14wouldn't leave either, in Kramatorsk, mandatory
00:02:17evacuation of children has been announced, the front is approaching the city, so there are noticeably
00:02:21fewer young people on the streets, those who remain find solace
00:02:24each in their own way, so that it's not so scary and
00:02:28boring,
00:04:3080 dimensions, work now there are different types of zippers, there are
00:04:34evasive zippers, when you approach it, it starts to
00:04:37wiggle spin or burn
00:04:40already b****, and sometimes
00:04:44the target is simply intercepted from under the nose by other
00:04:47crews.
00:04:49It tore off,
00:04:51these are competitors from a couple of crews who got lucky with, say,
00:04:55a zipper two, and they all saw it, but who
00:04:58gets to hit first, well... Whoever is first, let's
00:05:02say, new and new Russian drones are entering Kramatorsk,
00:05:06the crew takes off again and
00:05:07again.
00:05:12Calm.
00:05:43this woman's son, he's 11 and he shouldn't be in Druzhkivka, the mandatory evacuation of children has already
00:05:47ended in the city, the mother assures that her son is
00:05:51not home, why are you not with
00:05:54your son? Well, I had work, I'm still here now,
00:05:57I have a son, mandatory evacuation
00:06:01of minors is a routine procedure in Ukrainian frontline cities, but
00:06:04not everyone leaves, then the search for hidden children turns into
00:06:08a detective story, for which in wartime conditions there is simply no time.
00:06:43Donbas is the region where I was born, it hurts
00:06:47to see all this, all this
00:06:50for years, people built,
00:06:53created, now it's all destroyed.
00:07:05Into the city, passing dozens of burnt cars, bypassing loaded military vehicles, Anton and Alexander evacuate
00:07:0881-year-old Alexander Ivanovich.
00:07:24even of a previously non-frontline city, the crew drives up to a still
00:07:28smoking house, yes, good
00:07:30day, good, are you evacuating,
00:07:32they put it out last night,
00:07:35this, well, it flew in at night and early in the morning, my God, are
00:07:38you still here, still... they saw that here, well, why on peaceful people, my God, you see that evacuation, after this evacuation
00:08:37Anton and Alexander received a new task - to find a child.
00:08:40sometimes they raise their voices,
00:08:59but influencing parents only within the legal framework near
00:09:03the front is impossible, no social service will reach here,
00:09:06it's even scary to leave the entrance here, the air is filled with drones, children for...
00:09:10special homes for families with
00:09:47children, after another half an hour eleven-year-old Maxim and his mother
00:09:50leave the apartment with their belongings, they are given protection, seated in
00:09:54an armored car, well, we just had
00:09:58a feeling that everything was bad, there, so that he cried every
00:10:01day and something else didn't happen, but while his mother assures in a quiet
00:10:05life, Maxim confidently copies the sound of an FPV
00:10:08drone. Do you distinguish when it's close or when
00:10:14it's far? Yes, that's when you need to hide
00:10:18already, when you can already clearly hear the whistle
00:10:21of the engines, glad that he left. not return, I think they became wiser, the feelings are good, because we
00:10:47still found this family, yes,
00:10:50we took them out, maybe even saved, that's another Ukraine.
00:10:53big point in Kharkiv region before
00:11:02the already frontline Donetsk region, and until recently Izium
00:11:07entering remained such
00:11:10an island of civilization in
00:11:13the frontline military Donbas, but since
00:11:16July 5, the Russian army has been systematically
00:11:19destroying Izium's gas stations, removing debris
00:11:22from the anti-drone net. so that there was no gasoline, I personally
00:13:25saw, well, a small airplane,
00:13:29it just you see,
00:13:31it just cut through, well, there was no one there,
00:13:34if there had been someone, it would have killed them, the most painful
00:13:38blows are felt in small settlements, in Bohodukhiv near
00:13:41Kharkiv all gas stations have been destroyed, the same situation in Nikopol,
00:13:45Dnipropetrovsk region and Trostyanets, Sumy region, recently
00:13:48information appeared that all gas stations on the Dnipro-Kharkiv
00:13:52highway were destroyed. there are two nuances: firstly, if
00:13:57a gas station is not completely destroyed, it is restored quite quickly,
00:14:01it continues to operate, filming at such
00:14:04facilities is quite nerve-wracking, people
00:14:07are really afraid that something else will hit their gas station
00:14:11after filming, when trying to arrange something at one of these
00:14:14gas stations, the police were even called on me today, the second
00:14:18nuance is that if there are no gas stations at all...
00:14:21then people, business and local authorities try
00:14:25to organize the supply of gasoline, in most cases these
00:14:28schemes are for insiders and outsiders are not informed about them,
00:14:32somewhere gasoline is sold strictly by the hour, for example, from one to
00:14:36two, somewhere they let one car into the gas station, somewhere the
00:14:39filling stations are made inconspicuous, almost underground,
00:14:43they work, they work, they filled up today, I filled up today, I didn't
00:14:46fill up today, and do you have gasoline reserves,
00:14:49no, huh?
00:14:51Fuel experts assure that gas stations and authorities are looking for solutions on
00:15:05how to secure their facilities, but there are no clear answers yet, and it's about
00:15:08hundreds of facilities in small towns. There can only be one solution here,
00:15:12well, these drones, they need to be shot down, you won't put a sarcophagus
00:15:15over a gas station, I think it's simply about
00:15:19consumers having to drive further
00:15:23for this
00:15:25fuel and somehow deal with fueling
00:15:29up some reserve, because
00:15:32objectively, well, actually, they talk about
00:15:36mobile gas stations and so on, but the problem is that there's already
00:15:39a real hunt for fuel tankers, drivers don't
00:15:42want to go, which is exactly why we preventively refueled the car near
00:15:46Kharkiv at an uncharacteristically empty gas station, where life
00:15:50used to always bustle.
00:15:53Now it's unclear what's happening in Izyum, and you'll go to Kramatorsk and it's
00:15:57the same there.
00:16:01The fuel expert assures that attacks on gas stations, though
00:16:03trending, are currently a localized problem. In
00:16:07Ukraine, there are about 5,500 gas stations and about
00:16:11170 damaged or destroyed,
00:16:14but this number is constantly growing, so
00:16:17if no measures are taken, the local
00:16:21problem could escalate into a national one. Borisalka, Sergey
00:16:25Dykun and Alexey Polye, Nastoyashchee Vremya,
00:16:27Ukraine.
00:16:36It's all here.
00:17:07owned 5 hectares of land.
00:17:11Now, together with her husband, they cultivate 400 hectares, on
00:17:14which they grow sunflower, wheat, barley, peas,
00:17:17rapeseed, corn sorghum.
00:17:21I was raised with these values, that the village gives
00:17:23freedom, which I never felt in
00:17:27the city.
00:17:43Thank you so much for taking the time for us, I know you have a busy
00:17:47schedule, we saw last week you lobbying and posting
00:17:51on Instagram the sanctions bill against Russia and
00:17:54Iran. Do you believe it's time to pass it and that
00:17:57the president may sign
00:17:59it soon?
00:18:02Absolutely, Putin is a gangster, what he has done to the Ukrainian people
00:18:06is disgusting, how much? When
00:18:48you talk to colleagues about why this bill should
00:18:51be passed, how do you
00:18:53explain it?
00:18:57Well, when we talk, I say that we live in dangerous times, right
00:19:01now there are disgusting people all over the world who
00:19:04control countries and their resources, Si in China.
00:19:15and until January to Maduro in Venezuela, there are people who want to destroy our
00:19:19way of life, so we will have to intervene, we must
00:19:22intervene and support our friends, expect our
00:19:26friends to do more for their own defense, but understand that we
00:19:30live in dangerous times, you can't on the one hand say, oh, Russia
00:19:33is a terrible place, and on the other, not hold it accountable.
00:20:50It's that in very difficult conditions they are fighting for
00:20:53freedom. Look at how we treat Israelis. They are fighting for
00:20:57their freedom, they are ready to fight because they want their
00:21:00children and grandchildren to live in a free environment. When I think of
00:21:03the heroism of Ukrainians, I think the world admires them for how
00:21:07they went through all this. I really think this
00:21:10is important. If you want support from the US, you have to explain
00:21:14who the good guys are, who the bad guys are. And I think Zelensky
00:21:18did that. I believe he... Congress
00:22:20prove him wrong, you said
00:22:32we need to act fast and pass this bill. I think many believe they can outlast and outwait, because historically they have had presidents of the United States who chose a policy of appeasement. Look back, look at Obama
00:22:36and look at Biden. They appeased dictators all over
00:22:39the world. This president will not do that, and the next one
00:22:43probably won't either, because I believe people realize that
00:22:46the policy of appeasement does not work, it never worked.
00:23:25I think part of it is that Ukrainians are very creative in what
00:23:28they do, and they manage to create more and more
00:23:31sophisticated drone technology, but perhaps even
00:23:34more impressive is the quality of their operators, the fact that they,
00:23:38with the forces of a very small group of people, destroy Russian
00:23:41troops. I talked to one Ukrainian commander who,
00:23:44with 2,000 people, destroyed Russian equipment worth
00:23:48over 15 billion.
00:23:59Russian army, because they figured out how to do it very
00:24:02competently, using autonomous weapons, excellent training,
00:24:06essentially, constant feedback, when those who use
00:24:10technology constantly communicate with those who create it,
00:24:14this constant improvement day by day, what the
00:24:17Ukrainian army has done, really.
00:24:50Russians had practically no inconveniences due to
00:24:53the war, now there are costs for the Russian economy
00:24:57and for Russians, and this happened because of what
00:25:01Ukrainians were able to achieve. The difference is that Ukrainians are not just killing
00:25:04Russians, they are destroying the Russian army, while
00:25:08Russia is trying to stop them by killing Ukrainian
00:25:11citizens.
00:25:15In this regard, Ukrainians are also concerned that Patriot production has been delayed,
00:25:19the president has made it clear that he is ready to grant Ukraine a license, but then
00:25:23we heard ambiguous signals. Do you have any other
00:25:26information? When I talk to the White House, I hear that they
00:25:30are absolutely committed to Ukraine, so I am absolutely sure that they
00:25:33will provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs, when
00:25:37it needs them. You spoke about
00:25:40several countries, Iran, you spoke about North Korea, Russia,
00:25:43China, do you see any connection between
00:25:47them?
00:25:49Absolutely. There is definitely cooperation between them,
00:25:52they hate our way of life, they hate
00:25:55capitalism, they hate Judeo-Christian values,
00:25:59they want to destroy us, they want to control the world and... they will
00:26:02act together to achieve this, they have already
00:26:06acted together to achieve this. We must
00:26:09understand that there is a significant threat to our freedom and
00:26:12independence. But this applies to all our allies
00:26:16who believe in freedom, because Putin does not believe in personal
00:26:19freedom, Xi does not believe in personal freedom, Ayatollah does not
00:26:22believe, Maduro did not believe, Raul Castro does not believe,
00:26:25Kim Jong Un does not believe, so they continue to
00:26:29cooperate, trying to destroy our way of life.
00:27:09"You are a bandit, and you must go to hell for all the death and destruction you have caused the Ukrainian people, and I will do everything in my power to continue to help
00:27:13fight for freedom anywhere in the world, against you, and
00:27:16also against Xi, Kim Jong, Ayatollah and
00:27:19other disgusting bandits who dispose of people's lives
00:27:23all over the world. Thank you, Senator, for taking the time to
00:27:26share your
00:27:28perspective with us.
00:28:152020, line to vote, that what?
00:28:30So, what's his way out,
00:28:40well, besides the way out to go hang himself quietly in a corner?
00:28:44Russia just with its boots, drives us into some
00:28:48kind of medieval age. Is there a place for such a liberal party in Russia?
00:28:52Absolutely, only there is no such
00:28:55party,
00:28:58and I had to write about what was happening there, well, like.
00:29:32and also those who have ceased to participate in military actions
00:29:36due to illness, injury, detention
00:29:39or for any other reason, must in all
00:29:42circumstances enjoy humane treatment.
00:30:24Please, put me on all lists
00:30:28of extremists, neo-Nazis, I wrote
00:30:30"Putin" in my passport. cold and this is my
00:30:34official and principled position, well,
00:30:37it's offensive, damn it, well, there's someone, but not me, well.
