@marek5070 Hi. I have a friend, of Russian descent and a Russian speaker, who lived in Donetsk since the 90s. Donetsk and Luhansk were already semi autonomous regions inside Ukraine and didn't much care what Ukraine or Russia was doing. Ukraine wasn't persecuting or attacking people living in the Donbas area. In fact, there wasn't even any discrimination against Russian speaking Ukranians until AFTER the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine. At that point, my Russian speaking friend fled to a more western city in Ukraine and called the Russian proxies "terrorists". Ukranians had no problem with Russian speaking Ukrainians in the east before Putin began the proxy war in 2014.

 @charlesparr1611 why that guy isn't in a punishment pit for refusing to fight on the front line is beyond me. He's fighting on YouTube while mother Russia is being overrun!

6:47 the pipeline is only at a fairly shallow depth that any recreational SCUBA diver familiar with cold water could get to.

@Katoshi_Takagumi as an American, in probably the most culturally, ethnically, and religiously diverse country on Earth, I can say melting pot is the way to go. Ukranian language OUGHT to be the goal of people who want to live in Ukraine. That said, speakers of other languages shouldn't be persecuted. That was pretty much the situation UNTIL Russia invaded in 2014 and caused a lot of resentment towards people who weren't "Ukrainian enough".
