00:01Over the roads of Donbass, kilometers of netting, strung up by Ukrainians to block Russian drones.
00:12It's against drones.
00:16Why are you installing them here?
00:19That's a military secret.
00:21As the future of Donbass has become the center of negotiations between Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky in Washington,
00:28the war continues and Russia is making progress.
00:33Putin's condition to end the war is clear, seize the entire region, including the city still held by Ukraine.
00:42A prospect that enrages residents of Kramatorsk, a mining city still holding out against Russian offensives.
00:53I'd rather die than be Putin's slave.
00:55You want our land? No, impossible.
00:59What I fear the most is that they abandon us. I'm from Kramatorsk. I've been fighting for this land since 2022.
01:06In Kramatorsk, most people speak Russian. Many even have relatives in Russia. But they refuse to give up their region.
01:15You can speak Russian and still be a true Ukrainian patriot. If they abandon us, if Russia comes, we will leave. We won't stay.
01:26Our men would feel humiliated if we gave up Donbass. They're dying at the front. So many soldiers have already gone. And they expect us to surrender?
01:34These are Ukrainians who won't give up their land or its riches. Donbass holds Ukraine's largest cold reserves and rare earth deposits that Moscow is determined to claim.
01:51They are dying at the end, and they'll be there.
01:53The only thing I want to do is pass away from the border to Moscow, to Moscow.
01:56I think there is no reason for the border to Moscow.
01:58You could find a place where the border is now.
02:02And the border is now.
02:04The border is now.
02:06The border is now.
02:08The border is now.
02:10The border is now.
02:12The border is now.
