"Russian Occupation of Eastern Ukraine" Residents Speakout
Source: Patrick Lancaster
For years, Western mainstream media has pushed the narrative that Donetsk/Donbass is a “peaceful Ukrainian city under Russian occupation.” In this report, I do what most outlets won’t: I go to the streets of Donetsk and ask the people who actually live here — Do you feel occupied? Their answers are direct and consistent: many locals say they do not believe there is any occupation, and they say life improved after Russia came. They also talk about what it was like to live through 11 years of war, shelling, and infrastructure strikes by Ukrainian forces. — including being forced into basements as children and spending months without electricity. This video isn’t about telling you what to think. It’s about letting you hear the voices that are usually ignored — so you can compare what you’ve been told with what people here say on the ground. Some pointed out that the local people voted to break away from Ukraine and join Russia.
⚠️ Important: I always encourage you to watch multiple sources — not just one side — and build your own educated opinion.
