Family secretly film life in Russian-occupied Ukraine – BBC News



Russia is scrambling to pull its military personnel and citizens out of the city of Kherson ahead of a Ukrainian counter-offensive.

Ukrainian father Dmytro Bahnenko reflects on the months he and his family lived there under occupation and secretly filmed for BBC Eye at great personal risk.

Dmytro, whose day job had been as a local reporter, never thought he’d be filming the invasion of his home city.

Along with his wife Lidia, Dmytro struggles to shelter their five-year-old daughter Ksusha from the war as she increasingly senses the danger around her.

Kherson was the first major city to fall to Russian forces when they invaded Ukraine in February and he began filming the family’s lives when Russian soldiers first marched past their window on 1 March.

  1. Does anyone really believe in THIS? They would at least have drawn bruises on the face of this "priest" for persuasiveness)))). I believe in a protest demonstration, because people in Ukraine have been brainwashed by anti-Russian propaganda for 30 years. The rest of the stories and the fact that Russian soldiers threw grenades at the demonstrators are lies, just "blue water" to beat out pity and money.

  2. thank you for this video!

    I just relived my life of the past 36 years of suffering. The minute war came into my city, it traumatised me for life and left scars. Now I have to live with this for the rest of my life. So the question is, why? Why do people have to suffer for the pleasure of other idiots trying to prove a point?

    Just stop it! STOP THIS WAR!
