A year of the Ukraine-Russia war, as it happened

Thank you C4! I'm here in Kyiv at present with my wife, watching this doc brought more than once tears, PLEASE continue to support us!! Slava Ukraini!!!

First time i visited Ukraine was back in 1994, many visits have followed, and i've made numerous friends there. They are all in my heart, and luckily they're still doing fine. It breaks my heart to see what is happening to Ukraine at this moment, but Ukraine will prevail! Slava Ukraini!

Of the few documentaries I saw on the past year of war in Ukraine, this is the most touching. It is so important to show the human tragedy in detail and with compassion, more so than the actual facts of war. Thank you!

What these people don't say, says it all. So much devastation and destruction for no reason other than the impulse of a dictator who has no moral compass. My sincere thoughts and prayers to the citizens of Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Thank you so much for a great report and for your support to us here in Ukraine, we appreciate it a lot, thank you! Слава Україні!

Thank you for the honest, real-life reporting about this horrible war. You’re doing an important job for the world to see what the war really brings. Many thanks again and Glory to free, strong, brave, unbreakable Ukraine!

*Slava Ukraini now and forever !* 💛💙

"My children will live in the Freedom Country" I hope so soonest...with all my heart. 💛💙

I hadn’t seen a lot of this footage. Thank you for putting this together, brilliant reporting

Slava Ukraine from London ❤

Glory to Ukraine. Stay strong and God bless Ukraine. Love from Vietnam.

Seeing families separate breaks my heart praying for 🇺🇦 God will always be by your side

What a profound piece! I'm in the U.S. and must say of all of the world's news outlets, Channel 4 has followed the war with amazing coverage. My favorite is Lindsay! She deserves an award!

One year of utterly senseless slaughter. All because a very sad little man wants to the Soviet Union, no matter the cost. And sadly I think the worst is still to come. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

It's absolutely terrible what is happening in Ukraine . I am praying for them I am also donating blood and fund's for Emergency Medical treatment . This truly is a very sad situation.

Much Love to Ukraine. THE WORLD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU

I pray for Ukraine to survive

Absolutely insane how brave these journalists are. The people of Ukraine obviously aswell. I just want this horrible War to stop!!! 🕊🕊🕊
No one should endure War in this day and age💔 Slava Ukraini💛💙

Believe or not I am also crying with them feeling sorry for the Ukrainene civilian citizens who have been victims of the war For no reason, God protect all
Of Ukraine citizens Ukraine soldiers victory glory and sovereignty freedom to Ukraine People's forever God bless you all.

The wind rushing trough the trees in ukraine reminds me of when i used to be a kid with my mom in finnland.
imagining these people having the same memories but with their sons or fathers dead is verry sad & disturbing.
I wish & hope for a better world & that someday people dont have to go trough what these people went trough.

This is heartbreaking it really is

That guy who drops off his family at the border and goes back to Ukraine to join the army... That must have been the hardest thing he had to do in his life... Slava Ukraini.

Lindsey rocks. What an amazingly brave journalist. I still remember watching her in a shallow trench dodging sniper fire. Paraic is equally as brilliant and brave. His reports capture me as well. Great work, people.

I am from Ivory Coast. I really appreciate the Ukrainien sence of patriotism. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

God bless Ukraine and Urkainean .Soldiers .Peace for Ukraine .Slava Ukraine ❤💪❤🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🇦🇺🇵🇱 🇺🇦

Incredible reporting of bitter memories.

Fight hard, fight long! Love from America 🇺🇸 💛💙

A friend of mine grew up during the Bosnian War. He used to collect tank shells, and his friends would make toys out of them.

CH4 coverage of the Ukraine war has had several reporters in various parts of Ukraine. They are doing their job which places them in great danger. So proud of them. CH4 continues to this day providing footage of Ukraine's war against Russian army and highlighting the Ukranian's determination to fight back and retain its country, no matter what the Russian government and its soldiers throw at it. The spirit, resilience, heroism and organisation of Ukranian people is truly amazing. President Zelenski is a very aspiring individual who working collabortively with his fellow men has brought his people together to fight to protect their land, its culture and people. War is truly frightening and has far reaching consequences present and in the future. Thank you CH4 team for keeping the world informed and educated. I hope that one day the Ukranian people will be free from the Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin, and return and start to rebuild their home. Slava Ukraine!

Glory Glory Glory Ukraine

It's too hard to watch...And totally upsetting, always great reporting Ch4 & I've seen alot over the last year. It's just Senseless ?? Heartfelt Sadness for Ukraine. But they have shown their mettel in strength & honour. Never Surrender XX

Can you please give us an update on Yava? I am a teacher in Dublin and my class sent her letters of welcome to Ireland when she got here. Unfortunately we have lost contact with her but my students often ask about her. We would all love to know how she is getting on now, one year later. Thanks

75 years old grandpa said I lost I have no word . heart broken all his house is gone . the only place on the basement no water no electric

A wonderful piece of journalism. Its triumph is how profoundly human and sad it is.

Slava Ukraini 💛💙

Glory to God Glory to God Glory to God Amen Amen Amen
Glory Ukraine

This makes me so sad 😞 I pray that Jesus see this and make this horrible war end

Heroiam Slava!! 🇺🇦

Channel 4 has had one of the best coverages from the front-lines. This video is outstanding.

Slava Ukraini. Türkiye are with you

May God be with Ukraine 🇺🇦

yes thanks to Channel Four ; it means a lot to know something of what is going on

Ukraine together Nation victory heroes

This reporting deserves awards.

4:08 oof I felt that 😔

Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

Excellent, profound reporting

Slava! !🟡🔵💪

Slava Ukraini!! 🇺🇦

Let us hope the Russian people succeed and overtake the government! Slava Ukraini!!

Slava Ukraina from Sweden! 💛💙

How people still say that we shouldn't help fund Ukraine, I will never understand.

27.04 That is bitter. My late Father born 1940 had forbidden, that i played with army stuff. And now after almost (yugoslavia) 70 years of peace

Great documentary, stand with Ukraine.

Why does this have so few views? I feel I viewed all of the best unbiased unescaping the raw facts on the ground reporting this all past year through C4.

Does anybody knows name of a documentary that follows ukrainian mortar crew? There was a scene where they locate a tank by drone but they failed to destroy it.

My view 👇
Putin is a mixture of arrogance and ignorance, and Russia lacks wisdom in politics, and wisdom is always a beacon. My advice to Russia's leadership is to stop aggression and start negotiations, the sooner the better!

Thank you President Biden.

Great report. Lindsey rules!

My mom died in March. She was in Hospice care. I cannot fathom having to evacuate her during that time. Bless these people. This is horrendous. Sending love and prayers from Maine. Put in is an evil monster. This is so wrong. I wish my country would do more. We need to help, to fight.

Imagine that's quite a lot of people appearing here are already gone forever because of a crazy man's greed...

I really don't like how in the beginning the reporter asked the 8 months pregnant women how she felt about her baby not being able to be born at home in Ukraine knowing that she is 8 months pregnant, terrified, hormonal, and exhausted knowing that that question would make her break down. I know it's the truth but with how much tragedy this poor lady has probably went through he shouldn't have brought that up because he knew it would make her cry...

Before 1 year there were no war 😭

Its a shame. We have all of these multinational organizations like the U.N., ICC among others but what's the point if no one is gonna defend the little guys. It's terrible and it signals that any leader can basically commit whatever horrors he wants as long as he has nukes.

The sheer amount of approving and rejoicing comments of ordinary Russians under videos of the atrocities committed against civilians in Ukraine were no less a shock for Ukrainians than the war itself.
We have somehow got used to the war, but the realization of who we have been living next to all this time, without even knowing it, is still terrifying.
Those creatures call themselves our brothers.
Imagine what they would do to you who they call their enemies if you let them.

I fully believe to zelenski

I look forward to the day of Judgement. It will be glorious to see the wicked receive the punishment they deserve.

Very nice I watched a lot of war documentarys and the female reporter is very good

The world can hope that the next leader in Russia is a rational despot with critical thinking skills. Anything close to democracy may be a bridge too far. Slava Ukraine and it brave people.

To the men that stay or go back 🫡

BBC always makes great documentries, I cannot wait to watch the next one they make about who blew up Nord Steam 2 and how they did it. Its going to be very informative indeed.

Very sad.

No lie.
But I'm still in a state of disbelief that Putin actually invaded.
Really changed my perspective about the world.
Thankfully some territories have been retaken despite the cost of life.

Sad to see these Ukraine civilians are in this war danger created by Putin. Most of them are optimistic. God bless Ukraine and Ukrainians ❤

I pray for the people of goof suffering whith this insanity. May God help you, help us all.

God bless the European union, we are the pinnacle of society.

We wish both sides take the hold talks. Find a good solution for our next generation. Ukraine, be strong, we stay with you.

can someone please explain why it's better to lay on the floor during motor fire and artillery?

it's kinda sad that in an age where we yak on about gender equality, we literally condemn men to death, yet extract women (and children) from such situations. In a truly gender neutral world, it really should only be the kids that are evacuated.

Slava Ukraini.. Stay Strong

That little girl looks so battle harden .

Europe needs to step up and start funding Ukraine’s efforts a lot more. They are neighbors with Ukraine, and they’ve chipped in a fraction of what the United States has.

We do not deserve the life given by this planet

DW got almost everything in this report wrong. At least you had an aussie on to correct some of it.
AUKUS is a wide reaching security pact, it is NOT a sub deal. 3 subs will be purchased from yankville in 2030. But on subs the three nations are working together to research, design and build a new class of sub called AUKUS that all 3 nations will build and deploy in 2040. The UK and yankville will bring their subs to Australian ports and serve with Australians to patrol Australian waters until 2040.
But as I said AUKUS isn't just subs, it's a military pact. Australia will be sharing it's hypersonics knowledge with the UK and yankville for example so all 3 can try to catch China.
There is greater integration between all 3 militaries. There's collaboration on weapons systems, weapons platforms, aerial defences, intelligence gathering, all kinds of stuff. AUKUS is far reaching.
It's better to think of AUKUS as a strategic extention of 5 eyes. Partner nations to AUKUS are a possibility, but their full membership to the pact has already been ruled out.

This madness should stop! We need peace! Russia should give up some if its territory and make buffer zone with Ukraine! Russia has a lot territory, no one would even noticed!

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

All Russians bear responsibility. They won’t be able to blame this on Putin alone.

If the chair is screwed in and someone was tortured, why is the tape intact? Did they torture invisible men?!

If the President of Ukraine had high sensitivity, on the first day of the Russian attack would have immediately known all the consequences. All the nightmares of this one year will never happen. If the safety of his people is prioritized, Volodymyr Zelenskyy will immediately ask to meet with Vladimir Putin. But what happened was the President of Ukraine prioritized his position in Ukraine, whereas abilities were far below the President of Russia. NATO where Zelenskyy took protection. Too late. It took more than 30 years to rebuild infrastructures in Ukraine.

For our first prize, how do you feel that your child might not make it

พ่อสามีของเราตาย เราต้องไปย้ายสิ่งของๆพ่อสามีออกจากบ้านเช่า เจ้าของบ้านบอกว่าจะมีชาวยูเครนมาเช่าต่อ เราก็เลยทิ้งถ้วยชาม แก้วสวยๆไว้ให้ชาวยูเครนใช้ค่ะ พวกเค้าพลัดบ้านพลัดเมืองมาก็ไม่ต้องซื้อสิ่งของพวกนี้เพราะบางคนอาจจะมีเงินไม่มาก❤❤❤

Nice of you guys to condense and compile all of your propaganda into one piece.

Ukraine needs to force Zelensky to seek peace and end this war! It’s Ukraine’s CHOICE!

she seems very calm, very good for this role. alot of other women get shaken up very easily. she seems more hardened then most

war is a pity whether one supports it or not

Despite some set backs as is to be expected, the world owes Russia a debt of gratitude for fighting for global national freedoms in a proxy war started by a coalition of 41 most power countries in the world....Hope China soon starts to supply Russia with lethal aid against the criminally insane America and Europe.....God bless President Putin. God bless the Russian people. Africa, Lesotho.🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🌹❤🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸💯👍🏿

Can't watch this full 😢😢
