Ukraine-Russia War - Eva K. Bartlett

This interview was conducted in Simferopol, Crimea, May 2024. Mr. Shirin Ibraim Reshatovich, Chairman of the Commission on Interethnic and Interfaith Relations and Public Diplomacy in the Public Chamber of the Republic of Crimea—is himself Tatar. The West has for years tried to claim Tatars are oppressed in Crimea & didn't support the 2014 referendum to (rejoin) join Russia. Listen to this delightful man to hear the truth on how life improved dramatically for Tatars in Crimea, and for Crimeans as a whole! —My related 2019 article after visiting Crimea then: Return to Russia: Crimeans Tell the Real Story of the 2014 Referendum and Their Lives Since ( https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2019/10/10/return-to-russia-crimeans-tell-the-real-story-of-the-2014-referendum-and-their-lives-since/ )

*Please consider following me on other platforms. My time here on Youtube is limited & will end. I'm on: https://odysee.com/@EvaKareneBartlett:9?view=content https://rumble.com/c/c-2030196 https://t.me/Reality_Theories * Just after 3 am on November 7, I woke to Ukraine bombing central Donetsk, hitting the nearby administrative building of Donetsk Railway, causing a fire to break out on the second floor. According to Donetsk authorities, Ukraine fired six HIMARS missiles at the building. It should be noted that, again, Ukraine targeted a residential, civilian, area, not a military target. Fires were still burning when I was there, Donetsk Emergency Services having put out the worst of the blazes. The building is flanked by apartment buildings, the closest of which had windows blown out. I spoke with one woman in her first story apartment. At the time of the first blast, she ran with her toddler son to the toilet, thus missing the brunt of the explosions and windows shattering into the kitchen and her son's bedroom. She found shrapnel on his bed. I shudder to think of the boy's injuries, or death, if she hadn't grabbed him and ran for the toilet. Ukraine has been heavily bombing central Donetsk for months, since at least June, and increasingly so in recent months. The elderly woman told me: “We have been living in this for nine years, nine years! And no one pays any attention to us. We were always falling asleep and waking up every morning by such bombardments. As they like to say it's all fake. We were shooting at ourselves? How could we be shooting at ourselves? No one believes abroad or in the West that we live like this. And now you see how we live. What targets are they shooting at? People. Civilians. Hotels. Hospitals, kindergartens, schools. What is all this?”

This is an interview I did in October, but haven't re-shared, likely due to Youtube strikes preventing me from uploading. I'm extremely grateful to Trish Wood for reaching out to me, spending the time talking with me, and for her professional interview style. She is incredibly well-informed on the matters we discussed.

In recent days Western media have resurrected the “mass graves” near Mariupol claims, and since—unlike any of the people behind those claims, I'm actually in the Donetsk People's Republic and actually went to the sites in question—I made this video to debunk the propaganda.

While in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) in October, I went to a front line outpost 70 m from Ukrainian forces in Avdeevka, according to the Donbass commanders I spoke with. While many in the west think that this conflict started in February 2022, those following events since 2014 are aware of the origins of the conflict & the sacrifices which the people of the Donbass republics have endured, particularly those fighting to protect their families and loved ones. Just as the Syrian Arab Army was maligned, so too have Donbass forces have been maligned by Western media, though both are defending their homelands from terrorist forces trained and funded by the West. Terrorists given the freedom to commit endless atrocities against Donbass civilians. These defenders, many living in dank trench conditions didn't chose war, they responded to it, to protect their loved ones & their future. In spite of over eight years of being warred upon by Ukraine, they retain their humanity. Excerpts: -"I hate nationalists, their government. This is what we hate. But, for example, an ordinary Ukrainian person? Why? Many of us speak Ukrainian. We understand them, they understand us." -"This is my homeland, I was born here. I have a son. And I don't want to leave him all of this." -"We don't blame the whole Ukrainian people. The Ukrainian people are our friends, they are our relatives. We realize that they've been struck by evil, and it's not their fault. Ordinary people are not to blame for this, we clearly differentiate them. We will liberate them from fascism, and we'll make friends." -"America is accustomed to proving their power to their people through terrorism around the world, inciting fires in Syria, in the east. They played the card of radical Islam there, and now they are playing the card of fascism. If some kind of dirt exists somewhere, they prefer to use it. They do not see themselves on the other side of good. They need wars, blood, cruelty, and they signed Europe up for this." https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2022/11/24/maligned-in-western-media-donbass-forces-are-defending-their-future-from-ukrainian-shelling-and-fascism/ https://ingaza.wordpress.com/the-donbass-my-articles-videos-interviews-from-on-the-donetsk-lugansk-peoples-republics-2019-present/

Short interview I did on RT the other day, noting that 1 day in Ukraine, where 10 people died (some of whom it is alleged died of Ukraine's air defense malfunctioning), is a normal day in the Donbass, giving the example of how Ukrainian shelling of central Donetsk on September 19 alone killed 16 civilians, and 26 civilians killed by Ukrainian shelling between September 17-22. President Putin was correct when he spoke of Ukrainian terrorism. ...also, let's not forget Ukraine's systematic attacks on water & electricity infrastructure...

Interview I did with Mike of the wonderfully informative channel iEarlGrey. [His upload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KszFzhJBcJA] We speak about the recent referendum to join Russia, Ukraine's non-stop shelling of the Donbass, and more. As for my comment about outgoing artillery, targets are the Ukrainian positions raining hell down all over Donetsk, not on villages in Ukrainian-held territory. Although the sound of outgoing can be loud, they aren't being fired from areas Ukraine is bombing, so trollish whataboutistic comments are purely apologists for & whitewashing of Ukraine's genocide of the Donbass.

Given the predictable Western negation of the referendum to join Russia, and following having done many interviews with people during the referendum, yesterday I did some follow up interviews with Donetsk residents, asking their opinions on joining Russia.🎉🎉 [Don't laugh too hard at my feeble attempts at asking questions in Russian.] *Note: at ~ 4:55, it says "comical hell" (which at the time I did question) but should be "total/extreme hell", according to a native Russian speaker who noted: She said "КРОМЕШНЫЙ ад". This obsolete word means "total", "comprehensive"...
