ENGLISH SUBS UPDATED! Thanks to commenter Sergey. Now it's clear it's a propaganda video, but not very slick. The Ukrainians still need to learn a lot from Americans on how to do good propaganda... Despite refusing evacuation and wanting to be left alone in the last video, the elderly couple appears to have been taken away by the Ukrainian soldiers to some other place in the city of Kharkov. They say their house was destroyed by a Russian mortar shot. This looks to me more like a hostage situation, and that they are not there because they really want to be. Why would they want to be recorded on video? Please note that this is a video filmed by Ukrainian soldiers and published by an Ukrainian propaganda channel, so the couple are probably saying whatever the soldiers want them to say. A good analysis of the video, in English, can be seen here: https://youtu.be/-qZPWO75EUY
Anyway, whatever side you are in, I think it's in very bad taste to harass old people like that, for propaganda purposes. Poor people! Leave them alone already!
