Donbass: Chronicle of Genocide
**WARNING – EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AT TIMES**
Extensive war crimes in Donbass, Ukraine committed by Poroshenko and his army of murderers from July 27 to August 14, 2014. Kiev’s warmongers/Zionists continue the genocide of the civilian population of Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. Most of the footage and interviews you will see in this documentary film have never been shown on mainstream media of any country, including Russia and Ukraine.
Donbass: The Grey Zone – Life in the Frontline Villages
Ukraine’s breakaway Donetsk and Lugansk republics declared independence from Kiev in 2014, and there has been an ongoing civil war there ever since.
Under the Minsk agreements, both sides in the conflict agreed to pull back their troops from the separation line by two kilometers. But instead of finding themselves within a buffer zone, the villages there witness aggression every day and suffer its consequences.
Villagers call this the ‘grey zone.’ This video explores life on the frontline, and locals share their accounts of a war in which some 4,000 civilians have been killed to date.
Donbass: Humanitarian Disaster
In French with English Subtitles (2016)
Anne-Laure Bonnel, a young director and mother of a French family, decides to accompany Alexander, a father of a Ukrainian family, to the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine in a pro-Russian zone. At the heart of the war, she captures the terrible images of a deadly conflict and an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.
Over 400,000 people in Mariupol had to shelter underground because Ukraine’s Azov units wouldn’t let them leave the city. People who had to survive in Mariupol under Ukrainian forces’ shelling watched Ukrainian tanks firing at residential buildings. Though hundreds got a chance to be evacuated, many lost touch with family and friends who were forced to stay. Disrupted cell-phone service and no internet connection left no opportunity for communication. Instead, Russian soldiers would find relatives, relay their messages and reunite people with their loved ones as they patrolled areas, distributing humanitarian aid.
British Press TV correspondent Johnny Miller came to Ukraine to provide an unbiased account of the conflict in Donbass. However, after he sent a journalistic inquiry, he was immediately placed on the Mirotvorets kill list by Ukrainian nationalists. And this is not a rare case. Western media turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by the Kiev regime. This is why Miller and other foreign journalists are ready to risk their lives and report what they really encounter in Ukraine.
Eight years have passed and, for many Donbass residents, living under constant shelling has become routine. They can recognize the types of missiles flying at them and can tell how close the battle is. While some were evacuated, others decided to stay in their homes with their pets. They had to endure attacks from the Ukrainian nationalist battalions and armed forces who would fire right at residential neighborhoods. They also saw their neighbors and relatives die. Many of the people who remained in Ukrainian territory were separated from their families in the Donetsk Republic by the frontline. Once that territory was freed by the Russian forces, they got a chance for a happy reunion.
Donbass War: Airport
Part 1 looks back to the Donetsk region in 2014, when residents refused to recognise the results of “Maidan” and were confronted by a severe reaction from the Ukrainian authorities.
Part 2 explores the final stages of the fight for the Donetsk airport. From late 2014 to late 2015, tensions were flying high.
Donbass: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
It’s been almost seven years since a US-inspired coup divided Ukraine and war erupted in the country’s east. The Donetsk and Lugansk republics, next to Russia’s border, are collectively known as Donbass, a coal-mining industrial center. The two declared independence from Kiev in 2014, and civil war erupted.
Thie video takes a look back at events that unfolded before the start of the crisis in 2014. Historians and journalists share their views on the conflict, players and motives, while ordinary citizens from the Donetsk and Lugansk regions describe the horrors of war.
Maidan: Road to War was shot from 2014 to 2022, as the DNR and LNR territory was subjected to daily shelling from Ukraine. The film delves into the 2014 situation in Ukraine and pieces together the course of events. The film wants to draw the attention of the Ukrainian authorities to the shelling and the deaths of civilians in the Donbass, but the government didn’t respond.
Operation Ukraine: Crime Without Punishment
The documentary traces back the war crimes committed by the Ukrainian side starting from as early as 2014. Journalists and activists who collect evidence of atrocities speak on how the Kiev authorities have been directing them and have given a free hand to nationalist battalions in the southeast. They share their thoughts on why the Western media and human rights organisations ignore hours of video evidence of Ukraine’s abuse.
Presented by Oliver Stone
A continuation of the documentary film Ukraine on Fire (2016), and further investigates the ongoing Ukrainian crisis, and the truth behind the Maidan massacre in 2014, as well as analyzing the political wars happening behind the scenes, and the smouldering inter-ethnic conflicts and geopolitical designs being drawn up by the world’s superpowers.
