On May 5 2015, a memorial was unveiled in Donetsk to commemorate the children killed by the Ukrainian shelling of Donbass. There are 66 names inscribed on the plaque; the youngest was only a year old. Since then, the list has multiplied. According to the UN, 152 children had died in Donbass by April 2021. In the film Donbass: The Grey Zone, which we made in early 2022, a captured Ukrainian soldier is brought to the memorial. He is shown a list of killed children. We are posting this clip today. As well as an excerpt from the documentary Donbass: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. The monument and the place next to it in Donetsk is called the Alley of Angels. The slab is littered with children’s toys. Above it, there is a wrought iron arch twined with metal roses. And a bell made of a large-calibre shell casing. Then, two years after the monument was erected, a sculpture appeared next to it - a boy covering his little sister and looking up into the sky. #video#Ukraine Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari says the armed gangs that kidnapped passengers on a train in Kaduna used them as human shields. The governor of Kaduna state suggests the attack could be the result of a partnership between Boko Haram and other Nigerian kidnap gangs. At the end of April, one of the abducted women gave birth in captivity. According to the Nigerian Railway Corporation, more than 150 people are still missing. Armed gangs have been terrorising Nigeria for years. Boko Haram is one of the world’s deadliest terrorist groups. Some Nigerians can’t stand aside while kidnapping, rapes, and killings happen. For example, Aisha leads a vigilante group that helps government forces fight terrorists. She’s called the ‘queen’ of Boko Haram hunters. Watch our clip and the documentary Hunting Boko Haram about fighting terrorism in Nigeria. #video#Nigeria Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
