New Interview and Filming with de-miners for a month

First off, I have a new two-part interview on my channel with a foreign fighter by name of James (Spaghetti Kozak) who served with the International Legion before separating with them due to the chaotic nature of the Legion during the early war period in 2022. He then went on to serve with other units, and engaging in dangerous recon work. The first part of the interview talks about his military service, while the second part of the interview focuses on his view of Russia and his belief that Russia itself should be dismantled.

I also just got back from the Kharkiv Oblast, where I spent the majority of the last month living and filming with Emergency Service de-mining crews in the small city of Balakliya. I was originally only going to stay one week, but after realizing the enormity of the problem (and the lack of western press paying attention to it) I felt compelled to stay longer. I may return to do more filming, and I want to interview more of the de-miners in one on one environments. I only got 3 this session, and I want to get hours more of these interviews. We filmed demining out in the field, got drone and go-pro footage of de-mining, and footage of controlled detonations in the field. The interviews I did get was good, and it was also good getting to live with them. This got me what I believe was better access, and better interviews both in the few one on one sessions I had and in the field. I have tons of great photos to publish, but it is going to be a while until I publish the majority of this footage. I want to do ore interviews, and possibly go back out there to film another week or two. I also recorded an interview with Right Sector that I thought was very interesting. It delved into the groups nationalism, with the interviewee being having joined in 2014 as an ideologically devoted to the cause of the organization We talk about why he joined, 2014 vs now, Ukrainian nationalism, right sectors history of homophobia, and his time fighting against the Wagner group in Bakmut. That is currently being translated, and I hope to get this out sooner rather than later. One of my favorite interviews to date. There is a lot of mystique around the Ukrainian far-right, so I think it is best to have a shit down conversation about what the average right wing Ukrainian Nationalist looks like, even if they still make up a minority of the Ukrainian military contrary to Russian propaganda. We have also started the editing process of the "Warriors of God" segment I filmed in Zaporizhzhia. 

I have a lot of offers for projects across the board right now, and kind of hard to choose exactly what to do next, especially since a few of them include frontline embeds. I will try to keep you guys in the loop while also practicing good opsec for myself. 

P.S. Last Photo is a bunch of "souvenirs" I guess you can call them, that the de-miners insisted I take with me. Was very heavy to take back, and I gave them a pair of sunglass I got during the Liberty-con conference in Miami for fair trade. For any of you wondering what those plastic bits near the middle are, its the PFM-1 "Butterfly Mine". They are very notorious for civilian casualties, and was used very heavily in Afghanistan during the Soviet Invasion, where it became notorious for its ability to maim civilians during their scorched earth campaign. Many children mistook them for toys, since they are very small and made of plastic, and lead to many having their arms blown off. We dealt with a lot of these in the field, and de-mining vehicles (the one we did get to film) dealt with it very well.
