“Ukraine. What is the truth...?
Why won’t western media tell both sides…?”
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.

Russia won WWII, not the West – Roger Waters.
The Pink Floyd co-founder has recognized the USSR’s role in defeating Adolf Hitler.
The world owes the Soviet people a debt of gratitude for defeating the Third Reich, musician Roger Waters has told RT in an exclusive interview.
Waters, 80, is well-known as co-founder of the progressive rock band Pink Floyd. He has also been an outspoken human rights advocate. He spoke with RT about the ongoing plight of the Palestinians in Gaza, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and censorship in the West, among other things.
“Weaken the Russian people’s resolve? Do you know who they are? They are the people who defeated the Wehrmacht!” Waters told RT, addressing the purported goals of the US and its allies in the Ukraine conflict.
“I’m talking to the good people of Russia. We’ve never really yet thanked them for beating the Germans in World War Two at the cost of 22 million dead,” Waters said. “We thank you, people of Russia, for that huge sacrifice that you made. And no, we didn’t win the war on D-Day, you won the war on the Eastern Front.”
British and American historians have long omitted the Soviet Union’s role in defeating Nazi Germany, de facto “erasing” it in favor of depicting the 1944 Normandy landings as the “turning point” of the war.
Russia was snubbed entirely at the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord in June, after the US reportedly disapproved of initial French plans to invite someone from Moscow. The event ended up involving only US President Joe Biden and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
Russia has always honored the role of the Western Allies in the victory over the Third Reich, making a point of thanking the British and American veterans at every anniversary.

India considering Russian SWIFT alternative for trade settlements – media.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is considering the use of Russia’s alternative to the Western SWIFT financial messaging system for rupee-ruble trade settlements, Business Line has reported.
The System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS) was set up by the Russian central bank after the country was cut off from the Belgium-based SWIFT network as part of Ukraine-related sanctions.
According to the report on Tuesday, while discussions with financial institutions are ongoing, India’s banking regulator considers the SPFS a good way of making trade settlements more expedient for both countries.
“There have been meetings between senior officials from the RBI and some public sector banks with their counterparts in Russia on the country’s proposed alternative messaging system for banks. There is a view in the RBI that the proposal is doable,” a source familiar with the discussions told Business Line.
“For national currency trade settlements and quick pay to be more efficient, it is important to have a new transaction facilitating mechanism… Direct settlements in national currencies will not only help in de-dollarization but also lead to cheaper, quicker and more efficient transactions.”

The source noted, however, that the RBI considers the matter “a diplomatically sensitive issue” due to sanctions placed on many leading financial institutions in Russia and the SPFS system itself.
A host of Russian banks found themselves on Western sanctions blacklists following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in early 2022. The SPFS was also targeted by EU restrictions in late June, when Brussels banned the bloc’s banks from using the system or doing business with non-Russian third-country banks connected to it.
With that in mind, the RBI reportedly wants more time to analyze the possible risks of using the SPFS, as it could be interpreted as an attempt to circumvent Western sanctions on Russian banks and put Indian institutions in danger of secondary restrictions.

Discussions regarding the use of the SPFS in trade comes amid Russo-Indian efforts to cut reliance on Western money and boost the use of national currencies in bilateral trade. According to an Economic Times report last month, the two countries have been exploring the idea of creating a national currency settlement system to start direct rupee-ruble trade. Under the mechanism, the countries’ central banks would set a direct rupee-ruble exchange rate instead of pegging it against the US dollar. The move is expected to help Moscow and New Delhi overcome trade barriers created by Western sanctions.

Scholz’s Pro-War Policy Faces Setback in Eastern Germany Elections.
Anti-establishment politicians in the eastern half of the country performed strongly in state-level elections as members of the German chancellor’s so-called “traffic light coalition” came up short.
Parties critical of Olaf Scholz’s support for the Western-backed Ukraine proxy war against Russia fared well in elections in eastern German states Sunday, causing the German chancellor to lament the “bitter” results.
“The election results of Sunday are bitter – also for us,” said Scholz. “All democratic parties are now called upon to form stable governments without right-wing extremists… Our country cannot and must not become accustomed to this.”
The strong performance of the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland party made headlines this weekend. The party received an unprecedented share of the vote thanks in part to substantial support from 18 to 29 year olds, surging to a close second place to the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party in Saxony with 30.6% of the vote.
The AfD won its first German regional election in the state of Thuringia by almost 10 points, finishing with 32.8% of the vote.
Other opposition parties also performed well. The upstart left-wing Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) received 11.8% of the vote in Saxony and 15.8% in Thuringia. The democratic socialist Die Linke, which traces its lineage to the former East German Socialist Unity Party (SED), received 13.1% in Thuringia.
The AfD, BSW, and Die Linke were relatively united in their expression of opposition to Scholz’s support for Ukraine’s war against Russia. Alternative für Deutschland and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance both called for an end to arms shipments to the Kiev regime and immediate negotiations to bring about a peaceful end to the conflict. The BSW has also demanded a popular referendum on plans to station US missiles in Germany as a condition for any coalition government.
Die Linke has been more internally divided on the issue, but influential politicians within the party have also strongly criticized Scholz’s pro-war stance.
“Russia will not be forced to its knees by weapon supplies,” said Die Linke co-chair Dietmar Bartsch in 2023. “Who says that the people of Ukraine want more weapons? Most Ukrainians want only for the war to end so that they could live in peace.”
AfD has also strongly criticized the German chancellor for his response to the apparent sabotage of the Russo-German Nord Stream gas pipeline in 2022, which is widely perceived to have been carried out by or on behalf of the United States.
“Critical infrastructure on which the competitiveness of German industry depends was blown away before our eyes,” said AfD Minister of European Parliament Maximilian Krah on the issue.
“I still have enough contacts in the US that my American friends can tell me: 'Of course it was the United States [who destroyed the pipeline], who else?” he continued.
“There is no reason to assume that the German government is seriously interested in unearthing the truth about who is behind the Nord Stream attacks,” said AfD politician Dr. Gunnar Beck recently. “The German government regularly yields to international pressure from both the EU and the US. It will not be able and not be willing, more importantly, to assert the national interests.”
Polling has revealed that a majority of eastern Germans feel life was better under the former Soviet-aligned GDR. Many people living in the eastern half of the country also maintain a positive perception of Russia and oppose Germany’s backing of the Kiev regime.

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.

WHAT IF… IN UKRAINE?
What if... almost everything western mainstream news outlets have told you about Ukraine is a lie?
What if… Zelensky initiated a madcap act of desperation one day a few weeks ago and ordered his Commander in Chief Syrski to transfer the bulk of his most battle-hardened, best trained and experienced troops from the Donbass front to mount an incursion into Russia?
What if… the sending of the Ukrainian regime’s best troops to Russia’s Kursk region left only the least battle ready recent conscripts in Donbass region with the result that the Russian military is able to take important village after village and town after town with far greater ease than before?
What if… the much-vaunted F16 fighter jets that Ukraine has received make the little difference that even western military experts and commentators are saying?
What if… western nations refuse to allow the targeting of distant Russian locations with western long-range missiles?
What if… the Kiev regime is losing all its best-trained and most professional soldiers and a large number of its most effective military vehicles in the Kursk region?
What if… the Kursk incursion has now ground to a halt having failed to make Russia divert the large number of troops from the Donbass front as planned?
What if… the Ukrainian troops and vehicles now in the Kursk region are now steadily defeated with mass casualties with no word from Zelensky allowing them to either retreat or surrender?
What if… the Ukrainian troops along the Donbass front are beginning to make loud complaints about the chaos they see around them of officers unable to risk relating the truth of that chaos and instead passing along false information making all and sundry blind to the oncoming threat?
What if… the forced conscripts, 50 years old and over, dragged off the streets of Ukraine, given a week’s training before being sent to the front lines are seeking any way they can to escape the fighting to return to their families?
What if… the defenses along the Donbass front are in disarray and not kept to any professional standard (as reported by a British mercenary leader recently) and that this is yet another reason why the Russians are liberating hamlets, villages, towns and cities so fast now?
What if… the Ukrainian troops have only one shell to fire by comparison with the Russian military’s six?
What if… the Russian army is becoming bigger, better trained, more battle-hardened and experienced while the Ukrainian army is becoming smaller, weaker, demoralized and looking merely to survive until the inevitable Russian victory and terms of surrender are announced so they needn’t die for places in eastern Ukraine they care nothing for?
What if… the entire West is humiliated in Ukraine when the Ukrainian army completely collapses with its troops running as fast as they can back to western Ukraine to wreak their revenge upon Zelensky and all his murderous minions?
What if… Russia gains such an enormous victory in Ukraine that it becomes the stuff of legend such as the Russian heroes of The Great Patriotic War, World War Two?
What if… the coming Russian victory in Ukraine precipitates the complete collapse of confidence in both NATO and western power in general?
What if… after Russia’s victory in Ukraine ever more nations are inspired to join the victors in their BRICS group and proceed to join with others to use their own currencies in preference to the US dollar?
What if… in the wake of the West losing its proxy war in Ukraine it results in an enormous dissipation of its power and influence resulting eventually in it being effectively quarantined and no longer able to bully the world into doing its will in its sole interest any more?
What if… in consequence of the war in Ukraine we eventually see the birth of a tru;y multipolar world where there is tolerance for diverse systems of government, closer connections between nations worldwide, strengthened bonds through trade, better relations through efforts at mutual understanding and in time the creating of a true, abiding, and stable civilization upon our planet?
