You should correct them and make it known. One of the worst things that someone (VICE NEWS) could do when "reporting news" is to 'un-truth' (you're a queef if you support the use of that term) and intentionally misinform by way of propaganda.

It's not a 2014 when we in fact didn't had a proper army at all. The time has come for those guys to reform - either join the armed forces or give up their weapons BUT! You still have to remember that they are the ones who saved the country from russian invasion and respect them, not wondering around and questioning are they "playing soldiers" or any other kind of disrespectful questions. Also, it's not the Vice of a Simon times, since I do speak ukrainian and russian I spotted so much over dramatization in the subtitles.

We're lucky the Russians failed to render any more local's support further westwards and thus, with the help of those guys their advance was localised in a small part of Donetsk and Luhansk region. For instance, there were similar pro-Russian protests in my city of Kryvyi Rih. However, the protesters were quickly apprehended and put down by the pro-Ukrainian population of the city. Or the infamous incident in Odesa, where once again local separatists failed to gain the initiative as they did in Donetsk and Luhansk. Same goes to Kharkiv and many more cities. Hereby, I didn't mean to say that volunteer battalions saved the country on their own, that would've been silly to say.

and patriotism is pretty much opposed to anarchism

[@absolutelydisgusted8665]

@@MFZBitch I believe one can be a patriot (as in loving your land and NOT the state which controls it, the people that reside in it and fighting for their best) while being an Anarchist. Not saying that Santa is an actualy anarchist or something like that, but things aren't that black and while in regards to Anarchism imo. Now nationalism is a whole different thing.

@@absolutelydisgusted8665 You can't argue with the guy above. His profile picture say "Patriotism? No thanks". He is an leftist, one of those annoying creatures, not a patriotic communist or something.

Not slightly, in many parts it's just wrong! Either you guys have horrible translator or you're trying to edit the narrative. If it's the first, I'll gladly help, if it's the latter, shame!

[@user-zp8ei6pi7p]

Tell us specifically what/s wrong. Because it seems to me you're using Google Translate to think your right. These are small mistakes, brought about by slang terms in both Ukraine and English, nothing "all wrong" you lie or you try to sound more important than you are by pretending to speak Ukraine. Speak Ukrainian right now, tell me what translations were wrong.

been waiting for someone to mention this. I'm with Ukraine but this always deserved a seat at the conversation table..

[@MrDarkenral]

This is what Ukrainians have been doing since 2014. You can read about the many volunteers who were held liable for illegal actions in accordance with Ukrainian law. You can start from Tornado battalion, leader of which still in prison, if I'm not wrong.

[@pltv4649]

People who sit in the Kremlin consider negotiations only as an attempt to better prepare. They see weakness in the negotiations and simply wait until it will be possible to break through Ukraine and the countries of the West with the next offensive. How can you negotiate with an army of 500,000 on your territory? It seems to me that if Russia (the country with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world!) wants to discuss its security, it is not necessary to invade a neighboring country with its entire army.

[@dlewisfl]

@@pltv4649 And yet Merkel jusy stated that Ukraine never intended to honor the Minsk agreement, they used it as a stall tactic to equip/train an army. Poroshenko pretty much said the same thing. Oh, and Russia hasn't invaded with it's entire army.

[@pltv4649]

@@dlewisfl and they did it right. Minsk was the only way to calm down russia in 2014. But its was horrible option for ukraine. We just have no other choice. Donbass region is just a kremlin puppet, so that region in theory was able to ruin all initiatives and ban all ukrainian attempts in integration with west. Now we have to f**k ruzzia and build big f**ing wall on the border.

[@shahar664]

In other words the Ukrainian army is not as committed as the “volunteers” are! What does that say about them, the Ukrainian army and the real ideology behind these militias? Meanwhile not a word from the “reporter” about the Azof battalion the extreme right and Nazi ideology of the so called patriots! All in all this “documentary” was for the purpose of raising sympathies for a bunch of Nazis who portray themselves as patriots! Patriots who don’t trust their country’s army!
