The last part of the interview about reintegration of occupied territory was something that I always missed in the global discussions. It's indeed a mamuth task. Thank you both for this insight. I was a bit afraid about >1h but it was worth every minute!

Indeed, a mamuth task, fully agree. Thank you that you watched it and for your kind words!

Thank you very much, Sergej, you are doing a great job! I have only one question: Why do you repeat the names and professions of your guests several times in every single interview? I mean, I heard it in the beginning of the interview, and even if I didn't, I could read the description of the video or simply go back and listen to your introduction again... I don't want to annoy you, I'm just curious. As you do it in every interview, there must be a reason for that, mustn't it? Thank you again for supporting Ukraine! 💙💛

This is fascinating. It has been very hard for me to get a clear picture of the who, what, why and how of the occupation of the Donbass from 2014 on. No one hears from region's population, only the Russian narrative, which is very murky! I imagine many of the local men have been conscripted and are no longer with us. Thank you Yevgenii for your first hand account.

Thank you for your kind words! Indeed, especially back in 2014-15, most media just repeated Russian propaganda statements by Lavrov, Putin, and others.

The USA previously staged a similar scenario in Georgia. Follow what Mikhail Saakashvili did, what roles he played, and his traces in Ukraine after Georgia. Color revolutions, coups :) On the Russian border. What a coincidence :) Armenia should not be next. France was last trying to sell weapons. Georgia was going to pass the foreign influence law, threatening Europe and the USA. Could it be because it is against their interests? :) You can reach the facts by cross-reading from open sources.

Great job guys. The thing that really confounds me is this problem. Beyond telling the kids they have been prisoners of war for ten years or in the case of say thirteen years since they were at the time infants and toddler; I don't know how they can be deprogrammed and believe they have been freed instead of captured. I think the older kids who have been drafted and are fighting will have a bit of memory of how it was and that they lived in Ukraine, so there is hope there for some. The Russians have ruined so many lives, but what they have done to so many Ukrainian kids in my opinion deserves the most harsh penalty. Murder is terrible. Widespread destruction is terrible. Rape and torture is terrible, but to gaslight kids and steal and confuse a kid's identity is also terrible. I know why Ukraine takes prisoner. It's so they can get their people back. I hope no Russian soldier ever confuses that act with mercy.

Indeed. The Russians have brought so much damage. It is impossible to imagine its scale. The wounds will bleed for decades.

I had not imagined everything was so interconnected even back in the 1800's, but it makes sense. The technologies and expertise came from industrial areas such as Wales as the industrialists sought out fertile grounds for expansion. Even here, the mines in Michigan's upper peninsula were operated by Cornish miners using Cornish pumping engines to de-water the mines, so it's not surprising they set up shop and built the cities in the region. That fills in my knowledge gap about the Donbas; thank you!!

Thank you Sergej for a very educational discussion with Yevhenii regarding the history of the donbas and resultant ruzzian propaganda, cultural hijack and landgrab of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Thanks again, very informative!
