A reporter in Kyiv, Ukraine, covered the country's conflict with Russia in six different languages in a video that has gone viral.

Philip Crowther, an international affiliate correspondent for the Associated Press, spoke about the crisis for six different news channels, speaking in six different languages: English, Luxembourgish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German.

He shared a video that showed all of that coverage back-to-back. The video had 5.2 million views as of early Tuesday.

Crowther spoke about the long-running war between Russia-backed rebels and Ukraine in its eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions. In his English segment he noted that Kyiv, many hundreds of miles away, had stayed relatively calm.

In the hours after Crowther spoke, Russia recognized the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk then sent troops there, claiming it did so for "peacekeeping" reasons.

The move was condemned by the EU, UK, and US, which promised harsh sanctions would be announced on Tuesday.
