“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 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.

Why Does Zelensky's Cabinet Reshuffle Bring Focus on Crocus City Hall Attack?
Volodymyr Zelensky has sacked Oleksiy Danilov from the position of secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. What's behind the overhaul?
Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky reshuffled his cabinet on March 26 by firing Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov and replacing him with Oleksandr Litvinenko, who previously held the position of the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service.
"I refer to this as shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic," Larry Johnson, a retired CIA intelligence officer and State Department official, told Sputnik. "That's an expression we've used in English when your ship is sinking, but you're focused upon minor stuff about where the deck chair should be placed. You should be more concerned about keeping the ship from going under. And replacing Danilov is not going to change the trajectory of this war. Where it's headed, Ukraine is losing."
Danilov has long been known for controversial and chauvinist rhetoric. Earlier this month, the Ukrainian official made obscene remarks insulting China's special representative on Eurasian affairs, Li Hui, during a live interview on national TV. Danilov's comments came as Beijing is rallying global support for peace negotiations of the Ukrainian conflict.
Earlier, Danilov targeted people using the Russian language in Ukraine, claiming that Russian speakers should be "stamped out" and "thrown out" of the country. On another occasion, he said that the Russian language should disappear from the territory of Ukraine as "an element of hostile propaganda," while insisting that the English language is mandatory in the Eastern European state. Danilov's slurs prompted Stephane Dujarric, the representative of the UN secretary-general, to raise the issue of "unhealthy rhetoric" among Ukrainian government officials.
The Crocus City Hall terror attack, which took place on March 22, prompted some observers to revisit Danilov's brags about the Kiev regime's ability to bring "the war" inside Russia.
"I want to say that if Putin believed that the war would not come to Russia, he is deeply mistaken. It will come and it will come quite far. And if today they are already beginning to suffer at a distance of 800-900 kilometers, believe me, in the near future it will be thousands of kilometers," Danilov said on March 14 during the Ukrainska Pravda talk show, while commenting on the Russian border incursions by the so-called Russian Volunteer Corps* and other mercenary units fighting on the side of the Kiev regime.
"I think that the firing of Danilov brings attention to an issue no one is paying attention to," Johnson said, referring to the US and Western mainstream media attempts to divert attention from Ukraine's possible role in the Crocus City Hall terror attack.
However, initial data received from those arrested for the terror attack confirms links to Ukraine, Federal Security Service (FSB) Director Alexander Bortnikov said on March 26.
"The primary data we received from the detainees confirms this. Therefore, we will further finalize the information that should show us whether the presence and participation of the Ukrainian side is real or not. In any case, for now there is reason to say that this is exactly the case," Bortnikov told reporter Pavel Zarubin on Tuesday.
Zelensky's decision to reshuffle his cabinet is yet another "dumb political move" amid a string of defeats sustained by the Ukrainian military on the ground, according to Johnson.
"It’s chaos. And, I think in recent days the Ukrainians are taking steps to hide a lot of casualties that have been inflicted through a variety of Russian missile strikes on key command centers," the CIA veteran concluded.

RICHARD MEDHURST: US Declares UN Invalid, Says Gaza Ceasefire Resolution "Non-Binding".
Trump tells Israel it made ‘big mistake’
Images of bombed buildings have turned the world against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war, the ex-president has declared.
Former US President Donald Trump has warned that Israel is “losing a lot of support” and must “finish up” its war in Gaza before its reputation declines any further. The comments represented a rare moment of criticism of the Jewish state by Trump.
In an interview with Israel Hayom partially published on Monday, Trump said that he would have acted “very much the same way as you did” if the US was attacked like Israel was by Hamas in October. “Only a fool would not do that,” Trump added.
However, Trump called Israel’s wholesale destruction of civilian homes in Gaza “a very big mistake.”
“It’s a very bad picture for the world. The world is seeing this…every night, I would watch buildings pour down on people,” Trump continued.
“Go and do what you have to do. But you don’t do that,” he told the Israeli newspaper. “And I think that’s one of the reasons that there has been a lot of kickback. If people didn’t see that, every single night I’d watch and every single one of those... And I think Israel wanted to show that it’s tough, but sometimes you shouldn’t be doing that.”
Trump was a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his term in the White House, and described himself as “history’s most pro-Israel US president.” He imposed sanctions on Iran at Netanyahu’s request, moved the US embassy in Israel to West Jerusalem, and brokered the Abraham Accords, which saw Israel normalize relations with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan.
However, this relationship soured after Netanyahu congratulated US President Joe Biden on his electoral victory over Trump in 2020. Speaking to Fox News in October, Trump claimed that Netanyahu was “not prepared” for Hamas’ attack. At a campaign event later that day, Trump declared that Netanyahu needed to “straighten out” his intelligence apparatus.
With the war in Gaza approaching the six-month mark, the former president urged Netanyahu to bring it to a swift conclusion, telling his Israeli interviewers that “you’re losing a lot of support” internationally.
“You have to finish up your war,” he said. “You gotta get it done. And, I am sure you will do that. And we gotta get to peace, we can’t have this going on.”
Netahyahu has vowed to continue fighting until Israel achieves “total victory over Hamas,” and has promised to invade the city of Rafah – currently home to more than a million displaced Gazan civilians – in defiance of the White House’s pleas. The Israeli leader on Monday canceled a visit to Washington by an Israeli delegation to discuss the planned Rafah operation, after the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
The resolution passed thanks to the US abstaining from the vote. Given Washington’s typically unconditional support for Israel at the UN, the abstention and failure to veto by the US was seen by pundits as an historic show of dissatisfaction with Netanyahu’s conduct in Gaza.
Israel declared war on Hamas on October 7, after the militants carried out a cross-border raid, killing more than 1,100 people and taking at least 250 hostages. Israeli forces have killed more than 32,000 Palstinians in the time since, according to the enclave’s health authorities.

EU admits it’s working for US hegemony – Moscow
The bloc’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, recently said that helping Ukraine is in the interests of Washington ‘as a global player’.
The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, has essentially acknowledged that the West is involved in the Ukraine conflict to help the US maintain a position of global hegemony, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
Borrell suggested in an interview with CNN earlier this week that the EU “cannot afford Russia [to] win this war [with Ukraine]” because “otherwise the US and European interests will be very damaged.”
The West is not supporting Kiev out of generosity or “because we love Ukrainian people,” but rather because “it is in our own interests and it is also in the interests of the US as a global player,” the diplomat added.
Responding on Tuesday, Zakharova claimed it is the first time “a representative of Western regimes” has spoken so bluntly about the true nature of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.
“It’s not a matter of ‘love for Ukrainians,’ whom the Westerners have all but destroyed. It is about the US desire to maintain its hegemony and its diminishing role in global affairs.”
Zakharova further asserted that Washington has completely stopped playing a constructive role on the world stage, and that “liberal Democrats only know how to destroy, believing that this skill could guarantee their dominance.”
In light of this, the EU’s role has been reduced to “servilely supplying [Ukraine] with bullets purchased with the money of its own citizens, whose opinion no one asked,” Zakharova alleged.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier this month that American elites had created a monopoly on power, but that “the overwhelming majority of nations did not really like that,” including some of Washington’s own allies. This arrangement has led to growing international opposition to the idea of a US-led world order, Putin added.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also suggested last month that the US, which has sent billions of dollars in military aid to Kiev, is now trying to “shift this financial burden… onto the shoulders of European taxpayers.”
His comments came as US President Joe Biden’s proposed $60 billion supplemental aid package for Ukraine remains stalled in Congress due to opposition from Republicans, who have demanded more efforts to increase security on the border with Mexico.

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.

IN PANIC MODE: THE CRUMBLING EDIFICE OF WESTERN POWER
What can explain the increasing recklessness of the western policy of zero diplomacy toward Russia regarding Ukraine? What lies behind this seemingly relentless juggernaut toward nuclear war?
We can expect almost any form of madness from the western powers at this point. Their grip on the world and upon reality itself is in a state of fast decline. The weaker their position grows the more desperate and reckless are their solutions. Each decay in their long-held dominance over the nations they have become long accustomed to manipulating to their benefit drives them into ever greater recklessness. It is clear to see where their panic could lead all of us… but do they care, so fixated as they are upon themselves?
It cannot have escaped the notice of advisers to those who hold the levers of powers in the West that the omens looked anything but good for the retention of the vast power being held there. It must have been at least three decades ago now that they began warning that unless something radical was done western elite power was destined to atrophy and die, and that the state of global dominance they had held since WWII would be totally lost by the mid 21st century.
What to do? Gracefully submit to what appeared to be inevitable? Or fight tooth and claw like some dying animal against a world that even though it had not yet fully turned against them was certainly destined to do so? Their hopes were quite clearly invested in the second option as we have seen over the decades since the stark reality of their position became obvious. Once China began to massively expand its economic power base it became very obvious that the position of superiority and manipulative dominance the West had become used to was hardly likely to be retained. The only last and slim chance to maintain their position was for the western powers to seek by all means necessary to undermine the sources of that power.
Russia had become an economic basket case through a long campaign to destroy her by endlessly encouraging the arms race and all the other attendant wastefulness that came with the Cold War. A powerful economy had been encouraged to fritter its wealth away on high levels of military spending, the space race and a gargantuan bureaucracy seeking internal control against an external enemy. That external enemy prevailed and brought about the internal weakening necessary to inspire the revolt necessary to bring the entire country and its satellites to their knees.
Then along came Vladimir Putin.
From the year 2000 until early 2007 it appeared that Vladimir Putin could be safely tolerated by the West, a rather grey bureaucrat who would preside over a once great nation that was now being brought to heel by an army of western advisers. In February of 2007 in the city of Munich Putin made it crystal clear to the assembled western elites that they had made a severe miscalculation. Russia was not to be a tame lapdog for the West, nor any kind of take anything. Russia was going to be a powerful, independent-minded, sovereign nation. One that would take responsibility for cooperating with the western powers on all areas requiring international agreement such as nuclear proliferation and international terrorism, but would not be controlled nor directed by them. In other words, Russia would not be their proxy but would once again be a proud and self-confident nation that steered its own path forward.
In those early months of 2007 Putin’s words were greeted with both anger and dismay. Since the events of 9/11 all nations were required to submit to U.S. command with no questions asked. The project to eliminate all nations having a problem with that was already underway. What Putin was telling them was in direct opposition to a requirement that the western leaders had agreed to be an obvious necessity, America was to be supported to the hilt by all nations now in light of 9/11 and without question as world leader so as to wipe all traces of opposition from the entire planet. Putin was refusing to get on that bus. This was simply unacceptable.
Over the years since Putin made his Munich address the strength of the Russian economy was seen to increase and saw, with that increase, the emergence of a nation fast regaining its pride and power. The state of anxiety within the ranks of the western powers grew to ever greater levels while innumerable forms of attack upon the name of Vladimir Putin were seen from 2007 onwards until the demonisation process regarding him was all but complete. That Russia was not going to play ball when the western powers had already the problems of China’s ever growing economic success on their plate was a source of anxiety bordering on panic. Both must be destroyed. But how?
The conjoined policies designed to undermine, weaken and ultimately replace the structures of governance in both Russia and China appear to have been formulated in stages, the first of these occurring immediately after 9/11. The initial targets set out for regime change were of course Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria along with Iran at some point but China was undoubtedly part of the ultimate solution devised. Russia at that time was still a basket case with the new man Putin appearing too weak to effect any major difference. That changed in the year 2007 as we have seen. After all the misadventures in the Middle East by the USA and its proxies the heightened desperation levels began to fix the focus on Russia. Russia must be brought to heel. How should this be brought about?
Endless pressure denying any way out to Russia was the process decided upon by the West to deal a blow to the second most area of opposition to western global hegemony. Thus, in the years from 2005 or so leading up to 2013-14 Ukraine became a primary target with which to “get” Russia. Five billion dollars were spent via NGOs within Ukraine and via the U.S. embassy in Kiev to create enough resistance within the country to initiate an insurrection. The European Union played its part to the hilt also along with the USA and UK in exercising pressure against the Ukrainian president and government that would eventually bring about the violent rioting on Kiev’s Maidan Square to bring them down.
By the means above, through turning Ukraine into a western ally on Russia’s border, one which would ultimately become a member of NATO it was well known that Russia would be thrown into a situation that could be levered to its destruction. As we can see now however, this entire plan failed catastrophically. Russia did, finally, after a near decade of attempting to find a peaceful way through, finally took the bait and invaded Ukraine on February 24th 2022, and it appeared the West’s plan had every chance of success. Russia would be brought to its knees again in a replay of the Cold War. It had been relentlessly pressured down one path, that of military conflict with a now de facto NATO power, Ukraine and the West would now destroy Putin’s power base with an overwhelming array of economic and financial weapons.
Unfortunately for the West things have not turned out as planned. Russia was able to withstand all initial assaults upon it and further turn them to its advantage. More than this, the solutions Russia found resulting in the failure of western plans, instead produced debilitating effects across the economies of the West, primarily those of the European Union. Plus Russia began quite obviously to win the conflict in Ukraine, another outcome that was not contemplated by the western planners. Russia was to be held in a state of war yes, one where it was to be bankrupted along with the effect of western sanctions, but for Russia to win out was not part of the plan, Russia was to be bankrupted causing a massive revolt of the Russian people, regime change and a speedy defeat for Russia in Ukraine.
Coming up to present time we see the results of a growing western desperation to eliminate all those failing to support it or opposing it after 9/11 after each policy decided upon fails to reach a successful conclusion. Afghanistan a disaster. Iraq not much better. Libya in chaos with an unpredictable future. Syria saved from becoming an Islamist caliphate by the intervention of Russia and now the Ukraine policy going disastrously wrong. Meanwhile China continues to maintain a position of growing economic strength with the USA’s Taiwan policy remaining frustratingly impotent. It isn’t hard to imagine the level of frustration bordering upon outright panic that is now fuelling the ever more desperate “solutions” now being contemplated by the West.
Will western elites, now in outright panic mode continue their efforts to shore up the crumbling edifice of their remaining power? Or will the seemingly inexorable rise of those seeking a world where power is balanced due to multipolarity through BRICS and other institutions prevail? All hangs in the balance, however no one should underestimate the willingness of the western political elites to put their interests first even to the extent of being willing to countenance having no world at all rather than a world they can no longer control.
