Frontline, two battle zones.
First, on the ground in Ukraine,
with both sides of the conflict.
(gunshots)
Ukrainian nationalists... and Russian separatists...
(chanting)
>> NARRATOR: James Jones documents the resurgence of old
hatreds in the battle for Ukraine.
And later tonight, our unprecedented reporting from
Syria continues... Uncovering how the United States
is secretly arming and training the rebels.

>> NARRATOR: Over the past three
months, Frontline's James Jones
has been traveling to Ukraine.
He's found himself on both sides
of the conflict, witnessing the
resurgence of hatreds dating back decades between fellow
Ukrainians.
>> (chanting): Russia! Russia!
>> NARRATOR: Watching as the
former Soviet country veers to the brink of civil war.
It's provoked one of the biggest confrontations between
Russia and the United States since the Cold War.
>> JONES: It was late February
when I came to the capital, Kiev, to Independence Square,
where protesters were demanding
the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych.
Widely criticized as a corrupt
leader, he had rejected a trade
deal with the European Union in
favor of one with his close
ally, Russian president Vladimir Putin.
One of the first people I met was Dmytro Holubnychy.
The 16-year-old student told me
what he'd experienced a few days
before in the square still haunted him.
>> (translated): I can't sleep.
Whenever I try to sleep, smoke
appears before my eyes and the
image of that man being killed.
>> JONES: Dmytro told me how
he'd come to the square to join the protestors.
Early on his first morning, fighting broke out with riot
police.
(police shouting commands)
Dmytro's father filmed what happened to him and his son.
>> I woke up at 6:00, and they
told me we were under attack from the riot police.
I didn't expect my father to come, but he found me and he
started filming it all.
I found a wooden shield and told
my friend to follow me because he's smaller than me.
So we started moving forward
with the shield and with Molotov
cocktails, and this is how we
came to Instytutska, to the very front line.
(gunfire)
>> JONES: This was the deadliest
fighting since the protests began in late November.
Dmytro said there were snipers on the rooftops.
(men shouting, gunshots)
>> This is what the Ukrainian revolution is like.
Fun, eh?
>> JONES: In the middle of the firefight, his mother
unexpectedly called.
>> Mom called my dad and asked him what's up.
He said everything was okay and passed me the phone.
At that moment, I was sure we wouldn't make it out alive.
I saw many people killed.
I saw awful things there.
Everywhere we walked when we
were carrying the wounded was covered in blood.
It was horrible.
(gunfire)
(man groaning)
>> JONES: When the shooting was
over, President Yanukovych's forces had killed almost a
hundred protesters.
The clashes galvanized Yanukovych's opponents and
within days, he fled across the border to Russia.
He left a country bitterly
divided between those Ukrainians
who wanted close ties to Russia
and nationalists like Dmytro who
wanted to break free from Russia.
>> Our neighbors have never understood us.
Throughout history, they've always oppressed us Ukrainian
people.
They will always do their best
to capture us, to annex us, but
the Ukrainians will never give up.
>> JONES: I noticed Dmytro's
scarf displayed the face of an
infamous Ukrainian nationalist, Stepan Bandera.
During the Second World War,
Bandera initially sided with the Nazis when they attacked
the Soviet Union.
He hoped they'd give Ukraine its independence.
But when the Nazis didn't give
him what he wanted, Bandera fought both the Nazis and the
Soviets.
(marching drums playing)
>> JONES: Russian TV only highlighted the Ukrainian
nationalists' Nazi past.
>> Right Sector was one of the groups that led the fight
against President Yanukovych's forces on the day of the
shootings.
In the square I met one of a new generation of Ukrainians
attracted to Right Sector's
fervent nationalism and hatred
of Russia, 17-year-old Oleg Demchuk.
>> I'm studying computer science in Kiev.
Yeah, I want to be a computer programmer.
We're all like that here.
>> JONES: Oleg had been involved
in some of the most intense
fighting that day in the square.
>> The guys, Right Sector, they said,
"For Ukraine, long live free and
glorious Ukraine," and they ran
forward and we followed them running.
We were few in number and then a
great many people started running behind us unarmed.
We ran at the riot police to scare them.
People weren't afraid anymore,
but I can't deny I was scared.
Men kept falling in front of me, killed by bullets.
We stepped over their corpses.
>> JONES: The clashes in the
square convinced him to go join
Right Sector so he could fight
if the Russians tried to invade.
>> Being a patriot is in my blood.
It's genetic.
I have to defend my motherland
and fight for its great future.
You have to fight, and Right Sector is the organization
to do it.
I'm ready to give my life for this struggle.
>> JONES: I followed Oleg to Right Sector's headquarters
in Kiev, where he waited to sign up.
20 minutes later, he emerged as
one of Right Sector's newest members.
A crowd spontaneously gathered around him.
>> My great-grandfather fought
for Ukrainian independence.
During the Second World War,
they fought against the Germans and the Soviets.
Their slogan was, "You will gain
a free Ukraine, or you will die struggling for it."
Our war continues.
Not all enemies of Ukraine have been defeated.
>> JONES: I wanted to meet the leader of Right Sector.
Dmytro Yarosh is a hate figure
on Russian television, and to the millions of Ukrainians
who side with Russia, he is a
neo-Nazi and the most feared man in their country.
He invited me into his heavily guarded headquarters.
>> We have a clear attitude towards non-Ukrainians in
Ukraine: brotherly to those who
stand with us in our struggle
for statehood, tolerant of those
who live here and do not oppose
our fight, hostile to those who
do everything to deprive us of our own country.
Putin has repeatedly said that
there is no such country as
Ukraine and he does everything to terminate our statehood
completely.
Every empire is afraid of guerrilla war.
That's our way to victory.
>> JONES: It's words like this
that stoke fears among many
Russian-speaking Ukrainians and provoked Vladimir Putin.
He would later take over Crimea,
a coveted southern region of Ukraine.
>> JONES: Putin's argument was
that he was acting to protect
the Russian-speaking population
of Ukraine from persecution by Right Sector and other
anti-Russian sympathizers.
>> JONES: I set out from Kiev, towards Eastern
Ukraine, where Putin's words
hold sway and where many people
think of themselves as more Russian than Ukrainian.
Many of them were angered by the overthrow of President
Yanukovych and alarmed by the rise of Right Sector.
I was headed to Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city,
just 25 miles from the Russian border.
>> (demonstrators chanting "Russia!")
>> JONES: I found a city in
turmoil, with violence between groups supporting the new
national government and those
who wanted to break away and become part of Russia.
>> (chanting "Russia!")
>> JONES: Right Sector's anti-Russian sentiment was
mirrored here by a hatred of
America and yearning for the old Soviet Union.
Many were worried the new government in Kiev would
persecute Russian speakers in the east.
>> JONES: In Kharkiv, I discovered Right Sector's
biggest opponent, a militant group called Stronghold.
Many of its members want parts
of Ukraine to break away and join Russia.
They're known as tough street
fighters, and I was told that
many have links to organized crime.
I tracked down one of Stronghold's leaders, who used
the cover name Igor and only agreed to talk to me if I
concealed his identity.
>> The nationalists took over
the country illegally and began to oppress us.
We organized our own militia and we attacked the Kharkiv
government building on the 1st of March.
>> JONES: I got hold of this footage showing Igor and his
fellow separatists storming the
government building, where Ukrainian nationalists opposed
to Russia had been holed up.
Igor says he was joined by
busloads of Russians who'd come
across the border earlier that day.
But it turns out they were doing
it for more than pure political beliefs.
Igor boasted they were being paid to fight.
(gunfire)
pro-Russian fighters.as We were paid $40 an hour to beat
up the Kiev fascists.
Russia.
>> JONES: Russia denies it is orchestrating events inside
Ukraine, but Igor said before
operations like this, he and his
colleagues met with Russian intelligence agents who were
working in the east.
>> The supervisors are from the Russian military and
intelligence agencies.
(chanting)
>> JONES: Igor and his militia dragged people from the
government building and paraded them on stage.
>> JONES: The young men feared
they were about to be executed.
>> JONES: Days later, I watched
Stronghold go on the offensive again.
(gunfire)
Right Sector had just announced they'd set up an
office in the center of Kharkiv.
When the fighters from Stronghold attacked, Right
Sector shot two of them dead.
>> Russian television was soon
broadcasting it as evidence of
how Right Sector was terrorizing
Russian speakers in the east of Ukraine.
>> JONES: This was the situation
everyone feared: fighting between Right Sector and
pro-Russia separatists like Stronghold.
The police arrived to hold the two sides apart and avoid
more bloodshed.
The town's mayor Gennady Kernes
pushed through the police line
to try to end the stand-off.
(gunfire, men shouting)
>> JONES: Hours later, Gennady Kernes made a deal to
allow the Right Sector gunmen to walk away in the hope of
restoring peace to the city.
The members of Stronghold were outraged.
>> JONES: Less than a month
later, the mayor was gunned down
in the street and badly wounded.
In the coming days, separatists roamed Kharkiv, attacking
anyone who supported a united Ukraine.
Similar violence was breaking
out in cities across the east.
Vladimir Putin warned that he
might have to send in his troops
as he had done in Crimea.
>> JONES: As I left Ukraine in
late March, the government's control over the east of the
country was slipping away.
Two weeks ago, I was back in
Kiev, where the new government
was anguishing about whether to
send its armed forces into the east.
They were fearful they could provoke a Russian invasion.
I'd arranged to meet a member of the Ukrainian
provisional government.
Victoria Sumar had played a
prominent role in the protests
that had led to the overthrow of President Yanukovych.
>> Even these people in the east
who are armed don't understand they are puppets.
The question is who is pulling the strings.
The answer to me is completely clear.
It is Vladimir Putin.
When he understood he wasn't
going to get the whole country as a gift from President
Yanukovych.
He understood that he needed to split this country apart.
>> JONES: She showed me how
armed men were taking over towns in the east.
She alleged that phone conversations intercepted
by Ukrainian intelligence prove
that Russia is behind much of the violence.
>> We know how it works.
First, a group of hired armed Russians occupy a building
somewhere in East Ukraine, then
they pass it to the locals who support them, training and
instructing them.
We are constantly monitoring their phone conversations.
>> JONES: That's what happened
in the major eastern city of Donetsk, where pro-Russian
separatists had even declared their own state.
I bought a train ticket and headed there.
I'd been told that going by road
would be too dangerous because
gunmen guard the way into the city.
As I arrived, Ukrainian tanks
were moving towards the city and
a tense stand-off was developing
between the separatists and the Ukrainian military.
In the main square, armed separatists were guarding their
new government's headquarters.
Among the gunmen were many members of Stronghold.
They'd captured armored vehicles which flew the
Russian flag.
Immediately, I heard they were
preparing for a battle with Right Sector.
>> JONES: They're hostile to Western journalists, but I
convinced the separatists to let me come inside their
headquarters.
The United Nations has accused armed separatists of
torture, killings and abductions.
I was introduced to the chairman
of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic,
Denis Pushilin.
Pushilin once worked for a Russian company involved in
a notorious Ponzi-style scam.
He told me he was planning a
referendum that would give his new republic legitimacy.
>> After the referendum is
finished, we will quickly create
structures of civil and military power.
Why military?
Because all military other than
those created by the Donetsk People's Republic will be
considered occupiers.
Should the aggressor step up their attacks, we will ask
Russia to send peacekeeping troops into the region.
>> JONES: But it quickly became
clear Pushilin wasn't the most important man in the room.
Sergei Zdrilyuk interrupted the
interview with the chairman and introduced himself as a
commander of the separatist forces.
I later discovered he once worked for Ukrainian
intelligence, but was reportedly
fired for working too closely with Russia.
He recently became a Russian citizen.
>> The Soviet Union was the most righteous country.
It was built on communism.
Then America told us we didn't
have enough sex, drugs and rock and roll.
We've had all that, up to here.
>> JONES: Like many of the separatists, he was focused on
the threat of Right Sector and its leader Dmytro Yarosh.
>> Yarosh is the enemy of Ukraine.
We are not the ones who started this civil war.
I am not worried about my safety.
If I get killed, I'll be supported by millions of my
citizens.
We are ready to fight till the end.
Personally, I am going to risk it all.
I am not a politician.
I am a soldier.
>> JONES: I watched as the promised referendum took place
under the gaze of masked gunmen.
The city's new leaders claimed
that almost 90% of the voters wanted to break away from
Ukraine.
The leaders then asked to become part of Russia.
President Putin didn't take them up on it.
But the message was clear: there
is a strong pro-Putin force on
the ground to keep the area tied
to Russia for the foreseeable future. I traveled out of
the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and headed
back towards the west.
At a checkpoint marking the
start of government-controlled territory, I found Oleg
Demchuk, the 17-year-old who I'd
first met signing up to join Right Sector.
>> When we were in Kramatorsk,
we shot at them and frightened them.
Then we left, and now they are hunting for nationalists.
>> JONES: He told me he'd received military training at a
Right Sector camp in the east
and had already seen action in
the eastern town of Kramatorsk.
He claimed they'd attacked a building there occupied by
separatists.
>> The storming of the building
started when we came out like this.
I had a knife in my right hand and my pistol was hidden.
We kicked in every door and threw in sound grenades.
We warned them, "Give up."
We cleared them out, took prisoners.
We killed a lot of them and they gave up.
Now we're waiting for a full-on
attack on the separatists.
We're waiting for the election of the new president.
Then they'll let us, together
with the army, free these towns
from these bandits who are terrorizing the population of
Eastern Ukraine.
>> JONES: I went back to see
Oleg's leader, Right Sector's Dmytro Yarosh.
The U.N. has called for an investigation
into the killing of pro-Russia demonstrators.
Still, Yarosh was planning new
attacks on the separatists.
>> Our authorities are acting indecisively.
Two months ago it was possible
to avoid this by taking certain
people under control, containing
the pro-Russian activity, so
that none of this would happen.
Now the situation has picked up momentum.
Weapons have been delivered
there, so they have the means to fight.
The situation is getting worse and worse.
(shouting, gunfire)
>> JONES: In fact, on the day I saw him, Yarosh had sent
his Right Sector fighters into
the eastern town of Mariupol
alongside the Ukrainian army.
They wanted to take back the police station from the
pro-Russia separatists.
>> This morning we began the
attack and three of our men have
been killed, and some were wounded.
It's a full-blooded fight.
We've sent in armored vehicles.
>> JONES: They were accused of firing indiscriminately.
(shouting)
21 people were killed that day.
I visited the town soon after to
find the army and Right Sector had retreated and the
separatists were back in control.
The streets were deserted except
for barricades and Molotov cocktails.
It seemed to me Right Sector and
the separatists were playing a dangerous game, with both
sides using each confrontation to justify more violence
and death.
>> Let them come from Western Ukraine.
Let them come, let them come and
they'll get what they deserve.
But they just came and shot at us.
Why the (bleep) would they do that?
They said they wouldn't touch our region, but they did.
That's it and now our region has risen up.
And now you just try and stop us. There's no damn way
you'll stop us.
>> JONES: The protesters who'd
come to Independence Square in
late February finally got their
wish, this past week electing a
new president, Petro Poroshenko.
He's promised to unite a divided country, but I'd
seen with each death the hatreds deepen and the
politicians lose ever more control of the gunmen on the
ground.
Civil war isn't just a possibility.
In some places, it's already a reality.
>> NARRATOR: Coming up next on Frontline.
In Syria, a secret American
program to help the opposition
bring down the Assad regime.
>> Without the United States, they're basically finished.
(explosion)
>> NARRATOR: "Arming the Rebels"
begins right now.
>> NARRATOR: Journalist Muhammad
Ali has been on the ground in
Syria reporting for Frontline.
From the beginning of the rebellion against dictator
Bashar al-Assad... through the regime's bombing
of the ancient city of Aleppo... and as the opposition
splintered into warring factions, moderate rebels
fighting Islamic radicals aligned with Al Qaeda.
>> Allahu Akbar!
>> NARRATOR: Now, with the Assad
regime gaining ground again, he
is returning to Syria to find
out about a covert U.S. program to help the rebels.
A group of fighters from a moderate faction ofthe Free
Syrian Army agreed to meet Muhammad on their way back
from a secret training mission overseas.
They told him to wait in this
field near the Syrian border with Turkey.
>> We are waiting here in this olive grove by the Turkish
border for the newly trained group to cross over.
>> NARRATOR: He was not allowed
to film the rebels' faces as
they drove back to their camp in Idlib province.
These fighters are among the first to describe the secret
arming and training they are receiving.
Their camp is in an area that
has been under attack from the Assad regime.
The commander of this group, who
only agreed to talk if we
didn't use his name, says his is
one of a few moderate rebel factions that have been
getting covert support from the United States.
>> American agents got in touch with us.
They had researched us from the beginning.
They had intelligence on us about all our work.
They wanted to know our political leanings or whether
we had any connections with extremist groups.
>> NARRATOR: The fighters get
word there will be a nighttime
meeting with their American contacts.
Muhammad rides with Ahmed,
the battalion's supply officer.
>> NARRATOR: Ahmed won't let
Muhammad come all the way to the meeting.
He says he doesn't want the American contacts to see him.
>> NARRATOR: For most of the
war, the rebels have had to rely
on capturing weapons from the battlefield itself.
They had shown Muhammad something they'd captured.
>> NARRATOR: The rebels are lucky.
The fighter jet didn't spot them this time.
>> NARRATOR: Muhammad has now
heard from Ahmed, the driver who dropped him off.
>> Several hours have passed now.
The fighters are returning back
from the Turkish border with a
new shipment of ammunition.
>> NARRATOR: Back at the camp,
the rebels unload their new munitions.
The next morning, they show
Muhammad what they've received.
>> NARRATOR: Like most of the
weapons used in the war, these
U.S. supplies are Russian-made.
>> NARRATOR: Since the war
began, the Obama administration
has been reluctant to provide
anything other than nonlethal
support to the rebels, fearing
weapons could make their way
into the hands of extremists.
The rebels' arsenal is full of secondhand equipment.
>> This is a launcher we got last night from the army.
The problem is that we only have
14 missiles-- not enough to take it to a battle.
But we'll take it anyway and shoot the missiles till
they're gone.
>> NARRATOR: They make weapons out of salvaged parts.
>> This is a locally made mortar.
It's a 120-caliber round.
We captured a destroyed tank from the army, so guys from
our weapon-making team removed it from the tank.
We used this piece, cut it and
put it on a reamer and turned it into this.
And this is how we make missiles.
>> NARRATOR: But in recent weeks, they say they
have been receiving more sophisticated weapons
from their American sources.
It appears the Obama administration is now allowing
select groups of rebels like them to receive
U.S.-made anti-tank missiles, known as TOWs.
Many of the fighters have filmed
themselves firing the missiles.
>> Allahu Akbar!
>> NARRATOR: In addition to
receiving weapons, the commander
says he and his men were taken
on a long journey to a secret training camp.
>> They asked for a group of 80
or 90 fighters from our command and we headed towards the
Turkish border.
>> NARRATOR: Based on their accounts, we retraced their
journey across the border into Turkey.
After a 14-hour drive, they
say they arrived in the Turkish
capital of Ankara and were brought to a hotel.
They were kept inside and questioned by Americans, who
would only say they were from "the military."
But the rebels believe they were from the CIA.
>> We met them for six to seven hours a day.
It was medical examinations, questions for each person
individually.
Like, when did we join the uprising and what was your
professions or military rank?
They had tracked our work and asked to verify information
about attacks that were carried
out. such as, who was present and how many were martyred.
Your responses have to match the entire group's.
>> NARRATOR: A week later, the
rebels say they were surprised by what happened next.
>> We only found out where we were going to be trained
on the last day in Ankara, when the Americans said
goodbye and that "Tomorrow, we'll see you in Qatar."
>> NARRATOR: They were flown
1,500 miles away to Doha, the
capital of Qatar, which is a key U.S. ally in the Persian
Gulf.
>> We drove for about two, two and a half hours to reach
the training ground.
It was close to the Saudi border.
We didn't know where we were because it was desert all
around.
>> NARRATOR: Over the course of three weeks, they say the
Americans trained them at a base in the desert guarded by
the Qatari military.
Like many of the rebels who were
sent to Qatar, 21-year-old Hussein had never had any
previous military training.
>> They trained us to ambush regime or enemy vehicles and
cut off the road.
They also trained us on how to attack a vehicle, raid it,
retrieve information or weapons
and munitions, and how to finish
off soldiers still alive after an ambush.
>> NARRATOR: The rebels were outfitted with brand-new
uniforms and boots.
>> The Americans were warning
the fighters not to tell this story at all.
And even at one point, they told
them if in any case this story
will be published, we will stop
funding you or arming you.
>> NARRATOR: The CIA and the State Department declined
to comment on the fighters'
accounts of arming and training, though the Obama
administration has said it plans to step up
support to the rebels.
And there have been other reports that the CIA is running
covert training out of Jordan.
>> I don't think that there is
any potential source of support
for nationalist Syrian rebels beyond the United States.
Without the United States, they're basically finished.
>> NARRATOR: Ambassador Frederic
Hof was one of President Obama's
top advisors on Syria until recently.
He says that whatever the U.S.
is doing, either officially
or covertly, it is not enough.
>> You have the Assad regime prevailing and one of the
big consequences of that is a mass terror campaign being
directed against civilian populations that are not under
the direct control of the regime.
You have artillery shelling, you
have helicopters dropping these
horrific barrel bombs on densely populated areas.
>> NARRATOR: The barrel bombs
are filled with explosives and shrapnel.
>> The idea is to terrorize civilians, to try to convince
them to turn against rebel
fighters, to prevent the growth
of any kind of local government in rebel areas.
>> They drop barrel bombs indiscriminately.
Kids die, women die, and men die.
The majority of victims are civilians, not soldiers.
>> The planes are the thing that
are killing people the most.
It's helping the regime advance.
>> NARRATOR: None of the weapons, including the newly
supplied TOW anti-tank missiles, can stop them.
>> We told them that the weapons you are giving us
aren't the weapons we were hoping to receive.
We were hoping for better than this.
>> NARRATOR: The rebels say the
arms and the training they're
getting are no match for the regime's tactics.
>> We were told that we would get training in
anti-aircraft missiles.
The weapons training I got, I could have got it here.
When I saw the there was no training in anti-aircraft
weapons, my morale was destroyed.
>> NARRATOR: Late at night at the rebels' camp, a
call comes over the radio.
There has been another attack from the skies.
>> NARRATOR: He is told the Assad regime has dropped
chlorine gas on a town to the south.
We couldn't independently confirm the details of the
attack, but witnesses would later post this video on
online.
Even though the rebels are only
a short distance away, they say
it's too dangerous for them to go out and help.
>> Syrian civilians are being subjected to a true
abomination.
There is a mass homicide program going on in Syria.
So the question is how to stop it.
It's clear to me that whatever
is being done here is fully inadequate.
>> NARRATOR: For now, the rebels
are taking what they can get
from the Americans, though they
are increasingly frustrated.
>> The impression I got from
their support is that they don't
actually want us to defeat
the regime, but they don't want
the regime to defeat us either.
They told us they would train 30,000 to 40,000 men.
I asked them, "How can you ever
train that many if our training
course is limited to 85 recruits at a time?"
In a year, you can only train a thousand recruits.
You would have to keep training men for 30 or 40 years.
Is the revolution going to go on for that long?
>> NARRATOR: Even still, he is
sending another group of his
fighters to be trained by the Americans in Qatar.
>> ¶ I'm sick and tired of hearing things
¶ from uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites.
