did we were kept in a cell without water or toilet facilities and then we were separated i was interrogated i was interrogated all day i was called a terrorist and i was told that i had a russian passport i was a russian spy they were telling me all day that i had entered ukraine through ukraine and entered it through russia it's all completely completely false they were accusing me of working for terrorists all of these accusations and interrogations and then they took my computer they took my things and i've just go are just recently been released and i was on the train to warsaw coming from the polish border and i just recently discovered that the now all of my accounts are going to happen so i want to go to recount my e-mail account my you tube account which is obviously money in livelihood so many deleted two thousand videos from back to every single account i have facebook contact the time that ukrainian forces have had my computer it was held by the s.p. you as well they've taken that they've stripped all the passwords basically be attacked and i'm just fighting now to try and get my life back i mean being kicked

out of the country of ukraine my car was taken by the ukrainian military my money was taken my bullet proof vest i've been deported from a country i own a flat in told i'm an enemy of the state when all i ever did there was report the news which report the truth and i've been told i've been obviously banned from for three years kicked out of the border and there have been cyber attack so basically you know my entire life has been has been taken apart i mean thankfully i'm alive and as you can see are effectively all i but i'm a little shell shocked by the whole experience of just trying to kind of get my bearings and get things back together after what was a deal while i was graham told us his life was threatened as part of a video he uploaded to you tube with a recording of a conversation apparently with the ukrainian security officer. so yes because our little design. stems not into this new idea that you wouldn't in one year what you . really don't know we'll. with them we

think we need. more just like what they wanted needed just for you to do. you good to look what you thought when you died if you didn't get it. do you think going into it with an easy thing to do. with it would be what each in washington did. but i still believe it was in the region if there were it not for me. kiev has admitted to detaining and interrogating graham but have a listen to what the security service had to say before and the reporter's whereabouts are still on. what i know has been taken hostage there is no information owners were boats or whether there is a bounty on his head the ukrainian military don't apprehend journalists. so this video surfaced in the ukrainian media after graham was released this was shot during his final questioning by ukraine security forces which are well it had

a very different tone to the one grammar call himself. phillips you're freelance journalist. so is this the more you do both and i can oversee it today. it will be like analysis of the brand new it is honestly something good of the new canelo received today we are stringing up. today to get to work and on the seat in this newsgroup was a kind of free lance. sugar bought it for stock needs is to see today go to most if it pushed not available but we should be looking at a full day not going on but after a little bit you know it's up real. according to kiev graham has been deported for quote national security and territorial integrity concerns reasoning is something geo political analyst patrick henningsen is a little bit uncertain about. i think they're very nervous in the ukraine because

they do not want information to escape the type of information that graham phillips is reporting about the true nature of the conflict what we have is clearly a civil war by anyone's definition except for the western media and politicians in europe in the united states are still calling it as as the government in kiev is an anti terror operation meanwhile civilians are being targeted that's the very thing that they're graham phillips is trying to relate to the world i think. out of kiev transparencies something they're clearly not very good at. hiding in cover ups right from the beginning of this crisis right all the way back to february to the might gone so why should we expect anything different right now and eastern ukraine has become the world's most dangerous place for journalists this according to a brand new report from the international news safety institute in fact they say they since the start of the year working in eastern ukraine has become more risky

than even in a rock syria and pakistan seven media workers have died in the region while covering the conflict between kiev and anti-government forces four of those people were employees of russian newspapers i'm broke asas. now the ukrainian military has killed at least sixteen civilians with an unguided grad rockets and that could amount to war crimes according to human rights watch which documented four missile attacks on the opposition held city of donetsk. and the group warns the grad system is not accurate enough to be used in populated areas human rights watch is calling on both sides of the conflict to stop using this kind of weapon system if indeed they want to save civilian lives and the use of unguided rockets is also being labeled a violation of international treaties one of the authors of the report says the ukrainian military should be called to account for killing civilians. neither side really seems to take enough precautions to make sure that civilians are not killed

or injured and when you use these kinds of weapons in populated areas it civil reading my wrist proceedings to be injured and killed and that's what we saw in the district that civilians were being killed by these kinds of rockets you were able to buy in looking at the creators looking at the direction from where the rockets were coming from looking at the. walls that were hit by these rockets so if it's if the rocket hits the western wall of the building it's coming from the west by doing that we were we were able to establish where the attacks were coming from in for attacks they were coming from areas under the control of the ukrainian army and the creating government should investigate and should immediately stop the use of these weapons in populated areas and hasn't been able to take control of the two biggest cities in eastern ukraine this week just despite its relentless shelling of

urban areas in lugansk the latest bombardment took the lives of nineteen people most of the two dozen damaged buildings were residential that includes a school and the kindergarten also being blasted because this is the aftermath of one of the bloodiest scenes where a bus stop full of people came under fire they haven't been as many casualties in donetsk this week where locals used basements to hide in the humanitarian situation is worsening by the day. then you're going to need you will win this why do you need. some buildings on the city's western outskirts have been left in ruins and that's where kiev's army has been trying to advance fighting has brought local transport to a standstill making it much harder for refugees to try and escape the perceived city how about ukraine's president says his troops are only defending the territory from foreign terrorists these two women have just come out of a basement off the shells hit their block. house through social researcher in the

front outlook on the streets you're going to watch them do nothing for you. right you have to yes you do you. have a good thing if you run let me shoot bring my we don't know what you. just don't want to do you want to have them here to talk to you leave them. with more accounts from donetsk which is on the brink of becoming a war zone here's our correspondent i'm on cost of half. eastern ukraine homes ablaze cars riddled with bullets this is what locals here have been waking up to day after day for the past several weeks and the human cost of the sustained government assault has been steadily rising but by junior that children have been genuine in waiting for them some you know maybe ten year book by them i don't you know you have right here with many hundreds killed since the ukrainian army's operation began half

a million have already packed up their belongings and fled across the border to russia but for those who stayed on constant reminders that nobody is safe from these dogs. we've been hiding here for two months already sharing can start any time so monday i went outside to some water and it was a miracle that we survived we had to hide from shells this plant is behind in lunch every single moment we're afraid to die i don't netsky is one of ukraine's largest cities home to a million people many caught in the crossfire between and fighters who have made the city their stronghold and government forces the ukrainian authorities pledged to continue their onslaught to root out what it calls terrorists but that means locals here have a long soft fights of their own the head of them don't know it's the largest city in the sand ukraine was once full of life and accommodated the locals and foreign tourists on a couple of years ago it welcomes thousands of football fans to the european

football championships now however it's slow it's turning into a ghost town as local businesses close their doors and residents to leave the area from constant shelling that hasn't stopped in over a month from our culture of artsy donetsk ukraine. also this week over forty ukrainian troops abandoned their positions and crossed the border into russia some of them have reportedly asked for russian citizenship but the soldiers say they couldn't continue shooting at their own people carrying injuries and are being treated in russian hospitals. while following the leader of the united states the european union has expanded extensions against russia over the ukrainian crisis brussels added fifteen people and eighteen firms to its black list the measures include visa bans and asset freezes and further restrictions may be on the way but emanuel kide the president of the franco russian chamber of commerce and industry
