On 10 June 1999, NATO’s operation against Yugoslavia, called ‘Allied Force’, came to an end. The alliance dropped more than 21,000 tonnes of explosives on the country over several months. The airstrikes used banned munitions with radioactive impurities, mainly depleted uranium (U-238). In our video, author Vitaly Buzuev reveals the devastating impact of the bombings on the region. Dozens who were exposed to the toxins have since died of cancer, and even now, hundreds of local children are diagnosed with the disease. Scientists attribute these illnesses to the use of depleted uranium 25 years ago. Learn more about this problem in Vitaly Buzuev and Mikhail Burov's film ‘Fatal Dust: U-238’. #humanstories FOLLOW 🥰 -amp;@RTdocumentary_unc

'For most, it's just a ball with a face painted on it. But for me, it’s the one who has always been with me.'

Rami Samaan, a former soldier in the Syrian army, has seen a lot in the war: death, blood and fire, the loss of family, friends and the sense of reality of what was happening. An ordinary ball helped him survive all this. The guy called him Wilson and 'communicated' with 'him' in difficult moments for himself. And Wilson, according to Rami, spoke to him with his inner voice. How did it happen that the soldier’s best friend turned out to be a ball? What did such a relationship look like from the outside and what was its outcome? Rami, his mother and one of his friends will answer these and other questions in our film 'My Friend From War'.

🇷🇺Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko has become the first in history to spend a thousand days in space, Roscosmos said. But being in space is quite different from life on Earth. One of the surprising facts is that in orbit, physical exercise must be performed at least 2.5 hours a day, otherwise there are serious health risks. Why? Find out in our video! For even more on cosmonaut training, see ‘How I Became a Cosmonaut’ by Lidia Vasilevskaya and Pavel Baidikov. By the way, recent polls say that Russians consider the cosmonaut profession to be one of the most interesting, along with doctor, engineer and travelling blogger. Do you agree with this choice?

🟢How do the residents of Donetsk survive amidst a water blockade? Engineering networks and hydraulic structures, neglected for decades by Ukraine's government, have been utterly destroyed by targeted shelling from the Ukrainian Army. The locals are left ‘high and dry’ — without drinking or even industrial water. Complete restoration of the water supply system remains impossible: some stations are mined, and Ukrainian shells regularly hit these facilities. Volunteers come to the rescue. Risking their lives, they deliver water barrels to residents and drill wells. Our video, and the film ‘Water: Donetsk's Lifeline’ (2021) by Vyacheslav Guz and Anton Meshcheryakov cover these efforts. #Donbass FOLLOW 🥰 -amp;@RTdocumentary_unc
