VIRTUALLY UNREPORTED ATROCITY IN LUGANSK, 2nd JUNE 2014
A lot has been said about atrocities in the western media claimed to have been perpetrated by the Russians, for example at Bucha and Mariupol among others. These assertions are conveyed on the say so of the Ukrainian authorities. How willing though are western news broadcasters to convey atrocities attributed to the Ukrainians? The following will I think provide the answer.
If anyone wonders if they are receiving accurate coverage of the conflict in Ukraine I would suggest watching the video below of an event which occurred on the 2nd of June 2014 and ask themselves if they recall hearing about it on any mainstream media news channel at the time.
The video is harrowing to watch. The bodies (five women and three men) are real. Yet across western media there was only one single news report that occurred a day later. This was from CNN and occurred only because a CNN team happened to be nearby at the time of the atrocity and so the network could hardly ignore it as all others so obviously did.
The video below shows the unvarnished truth that was not considered newsworthy in western mainstream news.
THE SINGLE WESTERN MSM REPORT ON THE LUGANSK ATROCITY, 3rd JUNE 2014
The video at the CNN link below is the crime scene sanitised by CNN, though played straight with honest reporting on the scene not playing things to Kiev’s tune.
(There was a time early in the war in the Donbass when CNN were not afraid to contradict the Ukrainian regime in Kiev.) Watch, because it's the first and last time you will see this.
5 women and 3 men died, all civilians.

Articles from Russia Today (RT) - 8th December 2023:
Russia and Iran ‘building momentum’ – Putin.
The two nations are cooperating in fields ranging from infrastructure projects to education, the president has said.
Moscow and Tehran have developed strong ties over the past years and as a result have boosted their respective economies, Russian President Vladimir Putin told his Iranian counterpart, Ebrahim Raisi. The Iranian president arrived in Moscow on a state visit on Thursday.
The two leaders discussed both bilateral ties and wider global challenges, including the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Russia and Iran had built “good momentum” over the past year, Putin told Raisi, pointing to cooperation in energy and education. The states are also investing in Iranian railroads, which are destined to become a part of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC).
A network of sea, rail, and highway routes spanning over 7,200km, the INSTC is designed to link Russia’s city of St. Petersburg, on the Baltic Sea, to Mumbai in India through the Caspian Sea and Iran. The project, the genesis of which dates back to 2002, involves a total of 11 nations.
The INSTC is intended to halve the time needed to ship goods from the Baltic to India and double cargo turnover on the route. It is expected to be twice as efficient as moving the goods through the Suez Canal, according to some media reports.
In May 2023, Moscow and Tehran signed an agreement on the joint construction of a railroad linking the Iranian cities of Astara, which has a port on the Caspian Sea, and Rasht. It is the last remaining part of the railroad network of the corridor that still needs to be built, according to Russian media reports.
According to Putin, bilateral trade between the two nations has already grown by 20% over the past year and reached some $5 billion. “We are engaging in active cooperation across the entire spectrum of our bilateral relations,” the president said.
Raisi also hailed the two nations’ progress in the fields of energy, agriculture, and education but said that further steps could be made to deepen cooperation in these areas, which would be “in the interests of our states and our peoples.” The talks on Thursday will also greatly contribute to this process, he added.
The Russian president expressed his hope that the Eurasian Economic Union, which includes Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, would be able to sign a free-trade agreement with Iran by the end of the year.
During the talks, Putin joked that he had considered landing in Tehran yesterday while visiting Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The president said that he was flying over Iran on his way back to Russia and thought that he could just land in Tehran and meet Raisi right away. However, according to Putin, he did not do that as he was informed that the Iranian president was already about to leave for Moscow.
Raisi responded by saying that Iran was ready to receive Putin’s plane at any time and invited the Russian president to visit Iran. Putin said he accepted the invitation and would avail himself of the opportunity when the time comes.
Russia and Iran ‘building momentum’ – Putin.
‘No limit’ to sharing tech with China – Putin.
Even military secrets are not off the table, the Russian president has suggested.
Russia’s current relationship with China allows for full-spectrum cooperation in the tech sector, including with regards to its military applications, President Vladimir Putin told a Chinese entrepreneur on Thursday during a panel discussion at VTB Bank’s ‘Russia Calling!’ forum.
The remark was part of Putin’s answer to a question about US sanctions policy, which includes a ban on export of certain technologies to some nations, which, the Chinese businessman suggested, was forcing them to “reinvent the bicycle”. The Russian leader said such restrictions were not viable in the long run even before the world became profoundly interconnected.
“No matter how much people tried to guard the secret of black powder, it became the province of all mankind, for good or for worse,” Putin mused.
The same was true during the Cold War, when the US and its allies were heavily regulating trade with the Eastern bloc through the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (CoCom), Putin said. Those efforts halted the development of the USSR, but the country managed achieve its key goals nevertheless, he noted.
Washington’s current policies are meant to preserve its dominant status, the Russian president claimed, but “if we act across the board, supporting and helping each other, no restrictions by whoever tries to keep its advantage can stop us.”
As for China specifically, Russia is ready to cooperate in every area, Putin assured.
“We have no limits. This includes the military sphere,” he said. “When it comes to security, we are moving away from the traditional ‘buy-sell’ kind of relationship. We think about the future, about technologies.”
The US considers both Russia and China strategic rivals. Washington has banned the export of advanced semiconductors produced using American technology to China as part of its Asia strategy, which Beijing perceives as an attempt to contain the nation.
‘No limit’ to sharing tech with China – Putin.

VICTORY BELONGS TO RUSSIA: IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
Each day that passes makes a conclusive Russian victory in the Donbass and beyond more certain. As Russia bolsters her forces, and weaponry, those of Ukraine decrease. Russian forces gain ready access to rest and recuperation as troop numbers increase. The increasingly exhausted and demoralised Ukrainian troops have an ever decreasing prospect of such respite. This situation is likely to bring them to complete breakdown as Russia unleashes the firepower of the more modern and advanced weaponry that is arriving with the newly mobilised Russian troops.
The various Ukrainian offensives are now weak when confronted by the reinforced Russian lines. A few futile efforts achieve quite miserable results before fire reigns down on the Ukrainian troops and they are forced back to their starting positions.
And now, all this being said, we have arrived at the wet, and later, freezing conditions where these pathetic Ukrainian forces will be subject to myriad forms of abject misery with death and injury all around them while they lie sodden or frozen, abandoned to their fate by Kiev.
The pitiable young and old of Ukraine have been frogmarched to their deaths as cannon-fodder while the bestial elites of the collective West urge their "president" to add more to their number there at the gates of Hell and their doom. We must feel for the majority of them as they are not the Nazis we revile, in most part they are decent men, fathers, sons, brothers, husband and uncles, who no doubt saw through the coup of 2014 for what it was. But sadly, their fate seems sealed.
Nothing will stop Russia now. Every factor favours them. Victory will be Russia's. In Donbass and beyond and in due course across the world.
Victory belongs to Russia: It is now only a matter of time.

ZELENSKY, THE MONTHS AHEAD AND THE END OF THE WAR
The Zelensky regime is nearing its end. As with the ignominious end of all such regimes many features are being mirrored in reference to those of past downfalls. As was the case with the Nazi regime where Hitler and his cohorts sent out wet behind the ears youngsters to face the oncoming Red Army, Zelensky in his desperation does the same, and is sending women to die on the front lines also.
In the capital, Kiev, poisonings, attempted assassinations and intrigues of many kinds are almost a daily occurrence now. Power plays and cliques vie for the chance to unseat the virtual madman who insists on maintaining power and pushing ever more Ukrainians to fight to the death. The parallels with Hitler are obvious. Megalomania is the order of the day with Zelensky insisting he knows best, demanding the Ukrainian army take 500 metres of territory per day when the reality on the ground is of mass Ukrainian deaths and loss of ground.
The latest rumour is that Zelensky has sent the military commander of Ukrainian forces a letter saying he should hand in a letter of resignation and that he has been told by return that he will not and that if Zelensky sacks him he, Zelensky, will bear the consequences. Meanwhile, over one thousand Ukrainian troops died or were seriously injured across the battle lines yesterday alone. The top players argue over who is responsible with Zelensky, who has insisted he overrule his generals at every step, seeking to shift the blame to them.
In Washington the game appears to be up. Republican politicians seem to have had enough of throwing away ever more billions on a lost cause. Even the prospect of enriching their sponsors within the U.S. military industrial complex as usual is failing to entice them to vote more money into the Ukrainian black hole. This bodes very ill indeed for those Ukrainian elites who have enriched themselves immensely due to this money flow over the last near two years. It leaves Zelensky in the most precarious position ever. Failed counteroffensive, increasing Russian gains, ever more deaths of Ukrainian troops, an economy in free fall and now the prospect of the U.S. money tree dying.
The nation of Ukraine is on life support. The USA and EU are paying for everything and have been doing so almost since the conflict began. Every government and military salary is being paid by U.S. and EU taxpayers. This along with the vast flows of money going to U.S. and EU defence industry contractors to build up depleted stocks of armoury and ammunition. Without the billions from enforced largess across North America and Europe the tenuous grip on viability in Ukraine will fail. What awaits then but chaos? And the usual scramble to win power among all those waiting in the wings to profit from such periods.
Zelensky squats atop all this potential mayhem. No amount of self-deluding wishful thinking and increasingly fantastical exhortations to his sponsors that Ukraine will win and they MUST keep supporting him will avail him of anything but the rise of even more scornful responses. He has been living on the fantasies that his elite sponsors have sought to promote about him for their own purposes thus far. But for how much longer? The project to weaken Russia through Ukraine has failed and failed utterly. In fact the effect has been to weaken the West as a whole and in particular Ukraine’s neighbours in Europe.
The situation is dire. We witness daily the absolute scandal of the entire debacle that has been cynically pushed by western elites incessantly for the past 22 months and more, in fact for the past 10 years, since the Kiev coup in 2014. The comeuppance of those responsible approaches closer every day that dawns now. Biden will fall. Sunak will fall. A risible panoply of criminal political elites across Europe will fall with them. It is only a matter of time. The judgement of European and north American populations will be merciless on those who have squandered so much and sent so many young men to their deaths in this failed project.
Will Zelensky be the first of this sorry batch of failures to go? It is very likely. Will he find refuge and security somewhere soon? Quite possibly. Where? Previously perhaps in Israel, but this is much less likely now considering the present situation there. In the USA perhaps? Or in one of the many multi-million franc villas that high-level Ukrainians are purported to have bought in Switzerland? In one of the latter most likely, at least temporarily until some even more secure, secret and less easily identified location is found.
And what of those who remain in Ukraine when this is all over, those who have been forced to accept the totalitarian demands of their so-called democratic politicians? What of them? Reduced to near abject poverty by successive Ukrainian regimes who led them, instructed by others far distant from their borders, into a war that could never be won. Those sponsors of Zelensky who once opined in glowing terms about their nation and leader will now fall suddenly silent. The mass media of sponsors’ nations will find that other topics than Ukraine suddenly interest them far more. The hapless Ukrainians who will now endure seeing the territory taken by Russia thrive. The recriminations will be extreme… but heard only within the vacuum that has become poverty-stricken western Ukraine.
Abandoned universally, except for some few do-gooders within the European Union, west Ukraine will sink far below the interest of most. Many of this now impoverished nation will migrate east to the Russian Federation in all her forms, there to find a new life. Those who stay will find, at best, that mega-corporations of the EU will use them as virtual slave labour, their in-country industries and companies will be taken over, their management and owners replaced by German, French or North American substitutes. West Ukraine at best will be touted as a great place to find cheap labour and increased profits that flow by majority out beyond its borders.
What will happen within the political scene of this new, defeated Ukraine? Most likely the population will seek out those who promise a new and normalised relationship with Russia. The necessity to come to terms with their increasingly rich neighbour will make this process inevitable. The radicals who exhort others to keep up the fight and encourage acts of sabotage and military attacks on Russia and Russians will gradually be given the cold-shoulder out of hard necessity and absolute weariness of war, war and more war. Ukraine will slowly rise over a painfully long period and through many political and social upheavals to, in time, become just another reasonably normal nation and docile trading nation for all those around it.
Russia was always going to achieve her goals. To not to do so was always unthinkable. Her security in perpetuity demanded it. And so it will be. And so will the ignominious disgrace of all those who made that process so unconscionably painful and tragic to a depth not seen since the end of World War Two. When it is all over we will all see and be able to understand everything. Most importantly we will all see the indescribably irresponsible litany of lies delivered incessantly by western media and political elites, about Vladimir Putin, about Russia and about Ukraine. The cleansing of all those lies will take time. A shocked western populace will be loath to believe their leaders could be so untruthful. But the historical record will be plain to see and even the most partisan believer will eventually realise the full magnitude that these deceptions created.
After all is said, all is done and the shouting has finally stopped.., the world will move on and hopefully, before very long, we will have a truly multipolar world where obscenities such as the western-instigated war in Ukraine can never, ever happen again.
