My interview from Donetsk on the people’s eagerness to vote to join Russia

My interview from Donetsk on the people’s eagerness to vote to join Russia

Interview I did on RT yesterday, after observing the DPR referendum (from September 23-27) on whether to join Russia.

During that time, I visited areas where voting was occurring in homes/apartments to lessen the opportunity for Ukraine to shell large crowds. Wherever I went–central Donetsk, hard-hit northern & western Donetsk, hard-hit Gorlovka, Mariupol, I saw relaxed people keen to vote (as opposed to Western BS narrative about guns to their heads).

I have a lot of footage from these days which I am nearly done subtitling (I do it manually and of course can’t do so when I’m out on the streets, which I have been, so it’s taking time) and will share here soon.
