Sparta commander: "We are fighting against the genocide of the Russian-speaking population"

During my last trip to Donetsk, over the Christmas & New Years holidays, I joined RT in some reporting. We filmed Artem Zhoga, commander of the Sparta Reconnaissance Battalion, on NY's eve:

"What are we fighting against? We are fighting against injustice, against genocide—the genocide of the Russian-speaking population, the dissident population, those who do not think like the, nationalists, the Nazis—against this Russophobia that has formed in the Western world.

Against the genocide of the civilian population, because there is no other way to call the enemy's firing on institutions such as the Kalinin hospital, schools, the city center, and the market district.There is no other way to call it, this is precisely the genocide of the civilian population."
