Right behind me are all the deputies
and their assistants and other people
that are right now registering for the mobilization and joining
the Donetsk People's Republic military.
Many of them are already veterans, and some of them are already active.
Most of them fought in this war one time or another,
but we are going to have a talk with them
and see what their thoughts are on this intense, shocking escalation,
and now the confirmed the war between Ukraine and Russia.
Hello.
Can you introduce yourself?
Of course.
I'm the deputy of the People's Council, Sivokonenko Yuriy Victorovich.
What is happening now?
Mobilization.
We are going to defend our homeland just as our fathers did.
And now our sons, colleagues and allies do.
All the deputies?
The deputy corps and their assistants.
What has happened today?
A massive shelling of the DPR began today.
Today, the start of a military special operation was announced.
Therefore, we decided that we must go to defend our fatherland,
our homeland, our truth, history,
our home, near and dear ones.
The OMON officer.
Follow me.
All the deputies of the People's Council volunarily mobilize today,
receive weapons and uniforms.
We are waiting for the order what to do next.
Can you introduce yourself?
What?
Introduce.
Introduce yourself.
Oh, introduce myself.
I'm Vladislav Berdichevsky, the deputy of the People's Council.
Are you mobilizing in full strenght?
Yes, we are.
Nobody's going to take anything.
Can you tell us what you have done today?
Well, we are going to defend our homeland from Ukrainian fascists.
As to say, the time has come.
Let's say we need to stop sitting
and give a decisive battle for us to establish the long-awaited calm and peace
so that all our citizens can sleep peacefully.
Can live not being afraid of shelling,
and can have a peaceful life, and children can have joy and laughter.
Can you introduce yourself?
Alexander Bulenkov
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Can you tell us what you have done today?
What we have done today?
Yes.
We came for a mobilization.
To fight for the Republic, for freedom and peace.
Can you introduce yourself?
Introduce yourself.
Introduce myself...
I'm the deputy of the People's Council, Alexander Malkov.
As I understand it, all the males under 35 years have to mobilize now, is it so?
Everyone over 18 years can volunteer.
Men of any age.
I am 68 years old, and I still go as a volunteer.
Therefore, it's allowed to volunteer after 55 years,
but young people can be called up according to the summon
or come on their own to be volunteers.
Thank you.
How are you doing?
How do you think?
- See, we all have a good mood, everyone is positive.
- Where we are, there is victory. - See, we all have a good mood, everyone is positive.
- Where we are, there is victory.
"Where we are, there is victory."
It's like the motto of the Marine Corps, right?
Right.
Yes.
Nobody but us...
My brother is a sailor
Can you tell us what's the goal?
Where do you need to put the borders of the DPR
and where do you need to go in general?
Well, it's a tricky question.
See, now a counter-offensive is underway.
They announced that it seems like ours are going there,
but we don't know where to go.
Just as God wills.
To the border.
To liberate Ukraine from fascism.
Right.
But for yourself, would the border of the DPR enough or do you want Kiev?
Don't ask such compromising questions.
Maybe Berlin?
What?
It's not so far from Berlin.
No, stop it.
Otherwise, they will upload it and people will say
"Well, what kind of requests do they have."
No, when we started, we wanted Balkans,
The European Union will be scared No, when we started, we wanted Balkans,
No, when we started, we wanted Balkans,
because in the Balkans not everything was done correctly.
With my weight we will announce the World War, no. because in the Balkans not everything was done correctly.
With my weight we will announce the World War, no.
At the moment we were left with no choice.
We go on a counter-offensive, but we'll see how it will be.
In any case, they are warned, it took eight years.
Nobody wants to endure.
You should understand.
And you see all the men are now getting in line.
According to our DPR Constitusion, article 51.
How does it say?
Scared duty.
Right, we must protect.
Defense of the fatherland.
Literally: defending the fatherland is the duty of every citizen of the DPR.
Therefore, I think that for every man it is a duty, man's duty.
We have children here,
our ancestors are all buried here,
our children are here now and our wives stayed here.
We cannot afford to go back.
Only forward.
Can you introduce yourself?
Me, right?
The deputy of the People's Council.
Chairman of the Defense Security Committee,
Deputy of the People's Council, Vitaliy Vladimirovich Kravets.
Thank you.
Here are our ancestors.
You should understand.
And we are the descendants of them,
and our ancestors were all great warriors.
Born and raised here, right.
Their blood flows in our veins.
We have an example - The World War II,
how our grandfathers fought, right?
And now our time has come.
The time of the youngsters.
We can prove that we are worthy.
We have the blood of the ninth of May.
