The video’s English translation comes up when I watch it. The woman’s speech is about pointing out the lies of the powers that be, about waking up and refusing to comply any longer. The Russians are not their enemies and they won’t fight against them.
Soldier: “We want Ukraine to be one whole, from East to West, we have one Ukrainian nation. But, in March, illegally, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was taken from us by force! For some reason, it is now part of the Russian Federation!“
Shouting: “Why didn’t you do anything back then?”
Shouting: “This is BS!”
Woman: “You are saying Crimea was taken by force: It left without a singe shot fired! It’s Russian land and they took it back! Donetsk and Lugansk did not want to obey your junta which usurped power illegally! Now it turns out we’re all “separatists’. “criminals” and we have to go fight Donetsk?!
“You’re the illegitimate junta! You’re the separatists! We talk Russian, Donetsk talks Russian! You had no right to take our language from us! We don’t make you talk in Russian!”
Soldier: “What do you mean us?”
Woman: “ “You, Poroshenko and all! You started it when you talked about banning Russian language, killing Muscovites, killing separatists! If we support Russian people then we are bad, then we are traitors! What right do you have to take our rights from us?! You call us separatists, and then you tell us we have to go kill people in Donetsk and Lugansk, because they want to live in their own land? If they want to – let them! Why should our men go and kill them?! “
Soldier: [Inaudible]
Woman: “That’s what you keep saying! That we have to go kill them! Your Ukrainian junta – Poroshenko, Yatsenuk – keep spouting that drivel, we’re sick of it! We won’t listen to it anymore! Our children aren’t going anywhere, our husbands aren’t going anywhere! They have all served already! They don’t own you anything! We won’t believe you anymore, you speak nothing but lies!“
Another woman: “I can speak for the whole district, no one in the district will go to war, any volunteers that wanted have already gone. And we will stay here at home!”
Woman: “We want to build Ukraine, quit destroying it, quit bringing it to its knees. Poroshenko should go to Minsk peace talks! Then there will be peace! Who needs this war? You need it? You go fight , we don’t need it! We want to raise children and grandchildren and build Ukraine! We want to work here! Why did you come to take all our men?”
Crowd: “They won’t bring [our men] back.”
Woman: “You say there are enemies there? You go fight them, we have no enemies there! There are our people there, best friends and family! Why do you conscript people? If someone wants to volunteer – let them go fight, I don’t know for what cause.
“We’re tired of listening to poison on TV! How much longer should we endure those propaganda lies? Do you think we’re all idiots here?! You think people are sheep, you can lie to us and scare us and we’ll do what we’re told? No! We’re tired of it! We will also defend ourselves!”
Crowd: “Well said!”
Woman: “All of us together, then we’ll be strong! Quit ruining our families, our human lives! That’s enough! Look at Donetsk, what’s going on there – poor people are hiding in cellars, hungry. And Russia sends them humanitarian aid! Did Kiev send them any food?! Did it send them anything at all?! They’re sitting there without electricity, heating, food – why are they suffering? What for?! They lived there their whole lives, built the place! Have you built anything at all there, in the 23 years of ‘independence’?! You can only destroy! Show us something you’ve built! [You build] only banks! I build, I don’t destroy anything, only build! We work, till the soil, grow crops! And you from [Kiev government] are always trying to cheat us and take our money! What right do you have to take our money for this war? We’re against the war!”
Crowd: “Well said!”
Woman: “You have completely taken all our rights, we have no right to speak! And we are against [joining] EU, against NATO! We want to live as one nation! We want to be friends with Russia! And we were always friends with Russia! We grow tomatoes here – you think we going sell them to America?! We want to live [as neighbors] with Russia like we always did – in peace, in friendship!”
