“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.

Russian troops only strike military targets in Ukraine, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told Izvestia on Thursday, adding that this is not the case with Kiev, which he said freely targets civilians.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum, Peskov said the Ukrainian military “will stoop to anything” as they strike residential and civilian buildings in Russia.
The Russian military “continues its strikes exclusively on military targets or near military targets,” Peskov said, adding: “then we see the Kiev regime using cluster munitions on residential areas and purely civilian targets.”
Nevertheless, Russia will continue “improving efficiency, increasing the pressure, and moving forward” in the course of its special military operation until all of its goals are “fully achieved,” Peskov said
Since the start of the conflict in February 2022, Ukrainian forces have on multiple occasions shelled the Russian border regions of Belgorod, Kursk, and Bryansk, causing civilian deaths, injuries, and damage to infrastructure.
One of the latest attacks on Belgorod Region on Sunday night destroyed a kindergarten, prompting the region’s authorities to close dozens of others and switch some schools to remote learning. Belgorod has repeatedly come under Ukrainian shelling and drone attacks during the week.
The attack, in which Ukrainian forces are alleged to have used cluster munitions, claimed the lives of five civilians and injured 46, including seven minors.
In the interview with Izvestia, Peskov also said that foreign military instructors have been active in Ukraine.

On Tuesday, the Ukrainian military suffered a significant blow when a Russian missile strike hit a training center in the city of Poltava. Scores of troops were killed and injured in what the country’s leader, Vladimir Zelensky, described as an attack on “an educational facility.” The Russian military claimed that the facility housed foreign instructors who trained Ukrainians in military communications, electronic warfare, and drone operations.
Zelensky has also been urging the country’s Western backers to allow long-range strikes on Russian territory during Ukraine’s ongoing incursion into Kursk Region, though this has not yet received approval.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the attempt to disrupt the Russian military with the massive cross-border attack into Kursk last month backfired. According to estimates by the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukrainian forces in Kursk have lost more than 9,700 troops and over 700 armored vehicles in the operation.

Russia warns NATO about response to ‘terrorism’.
Further aggression by Kiev will be met with an immediate and extremely painful response from Moscow, Russia’s Foreign Ministry cautioned.
Russia will initiate an immediate and painful response to any further act of terrorism committed by Kiev, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned on Wednesday, directing her comments to EU and NATO leaders.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) in Vladivostok, Zakharova stressed that Western leaders are “losing touch with reality” and are “absolutely not thinking about the risks of further dangerous escalation of the conflict, even in the context of their own interests.”
“We would like to warn such irresponsible politicians in the EU, NATO and across the ocean, that if the Kiev regime takes corresponding aggressive steps, Russia’s response will follow immediately,” Zakharova said, adding that this response will be “extremely painful” and that “much of this” has already been visible in recent days, apparently referring to Russia’s recent long-range strikes on targets across Ukraine.
Over the past several days the Russian Defense Ministry has reported carrying out a number of massive strikes on Ukrainian energy and defense-industry facilities, and claimed to have destroyed a number of buildings being used for the production and repair of aircraft, missiles, and UAVs, as well as storage sites, and deployment points for “nationalist formations and foreign mercenaries.” It also reported destroying a training facility housing foreign instructors.
During her address, Zakharova also suggested that Western officials have been ignorant of the potential consequences of their continued support of Kiev.

”I think the Europeans don’t fully understand what they are being dragged into,” the spokeswoman said. “They are being dragged in by the US, the Anglo-Saxons. It seems to me they haven’t yet understood what a plague they have created with their own hands in the form of the terrorist Kiev regime.”
Zakharova warned that the battalions that will be created from Ukrainian citizens recruited from Europe will eventually also strike back at Western European countries themselves. “They have fattened up there, sat it out, and recovered. They will strike in the same way as all international terrorist cells previously created by the West did,” she said.
“For the first time in history, Europe itself has given birth to an international terrorist cell,” the spokeswoman said, warning that “this terrorist monster will operate all over the world” and will strike Western Europe because “they always return to those who created them.”

US becoming ‘neoliberal dictatorship’ – Moscow.
The State Department imposed new sanctions on Russian media on Wednesday.
Repeated sanctions to limit the freedom of Russian media in the US point to the erosion of democratic values in Washington, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
The spokeswoman made the comments to RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Wednesday, just hours after the US rolled out a new round of sanctions.
Washington has imposed severe restrictions on Russian media in the past, Zakharova noted. The imposition of these new sanctions “testifies to the irreversible degradation of the democratic state in the United States and its transformation into a totalitarian neoliberal dictatorship,” she said, adding that news outlets have become a “bargaining chip in partisan disputes, and the public is deliberately misled by insinuations about mythical interference in ‘democratic processes.’”
The attacks on Russian media are “the result of carefully thought-out operations” planned by intelligence services and coordinated with mainstream media outlets, Zakharova said. The goal, she claimed, is to “to sterilize the national and – in the future – global information space from any forms of dissenting opinion.” This new “witch hunt” is aimed at keeping “the populace in a state of permanent stress,” as well as building up the image of “an external foe” – in this case, Russia, she went on to say.
Despite this, there is a demand for media coverage by RT and other Russian news resources, Zakharova added.

On Wednesday, the Justice, State, and Treasury Departments announced a joint effort to target with sanctions and criminal charges Russian media – including RT – and individuals which the administration of US President Joe Biden claim are Russian “government-sponsored attempts to manipulate US public opinion” ahead of the presidential election this November. The new designations “complement law enforcement actions” such as visa restrictions, as well as a ‘Rewards for Justice’ offer of up to $10 million for “information pertaining to foreign interference in a US election.” They claim that RT used a front company to disguise its own involvement or the involvement of the Russian government in content meant to influence US audiences.
These actions by the US “directly contravene their obligations to ensure free access to information and media pluralism” and will not go unanswered, the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said.

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 IS CLEARING THE DECKS, MIRRORING THE END OF ALL SUCH MEGALOMANIACS
There is a certain fateful pattern to the last days of those who see themselves, and only themselves, as the single universal solution to all their country's needs.
When the end is clearly near a frantic effort is often made to create a change in such circumstances. The panic which tends to infest the brain in these circumstances largely precludes the possibility of determining good options which will indeed effect such a change for the better. So it appears in relation to the news today that seven of Zelensky’s ministers have tendered their resignations.
This comes immediately after a devastating Russian strike on a military academy where foreign instructors (Swedish nationals apparently) were training Ukrainian troops in the art of electronic warfare. At least a hundred in total died or were injured. Add to this the loss in the past week of around six HIMARS systems in the Ukrainian region of Sumy which lies adjacent to Russia’s Kursk region. For good measure there is also the Russians taking large swathes of territory and villages along the Donbass line of contact.
Zelensky certainly doesn’t need to go searching for problems. Every day brings more to his door. This is highly reminiscent of the situation and mentality of Adolf Hitler in the closing weeks of the second world war when he hid in the infamous bunker beneath Berlin that was to see his end. No doubt Zeelensky will be shipped out to save his vile skin when his time comes however. What’s the betting whether he will fear the Russians or his own people at that point?
Zelensky, said to be rather overfond of a certain white powder must be running through quite a bit of it right now. The collapse that has been a long time coming is now looking more inevitable than ever. He has already lost a commander in chief because he found Zelensky (like Hitler) giving orders when he had no background knowledge of military tactics and strategy but who just “knew” what needed to be done. Think ‘Operation Barbarossa’ against Russia. Hitler refused all the pleading from officers at the front who saw their men dying in a lost cause. Zelensky has the same ego-fuelled and terminally delusional self-regard as Adolf Hitler going since the start of this conflict.
The loud, virtually never-ending applause Zelensky received with plaudits ringing continually in his ears has made him almost as ruinous for Ukraine as Hitler was for Germany. Ukraine has lost the lives or health of some half a million in a conflict Russia never wanted but that the western powers ensured was inflicted on both nations every step of the way, taking care to block Russia’s every attempt to find sustainable diplomatic solutions. The incredible, cold-blooded cynicism and cold-blooded strategies of the West to do this are breathtaking in their demonic nature.
So now, unable to trust the abilities and advice of his closest advisers and ministers of his government, it appears Zelensky has decided that being a full-blown dictator is the best solution now. The megalomania involved appears terminal. No doubt he has become completely paranoid, believing he is surrounded by people seeking to overthrow him or, at the very least, people who he can no longer trust in the least. Now he will stand alone, making every decision on the basis of whatever madcap idea comes into his mind next. Either that or he will tap the most malleable lackeys he can that he believes will immediately jump to his orders.
This new ‘Winston Churchill’ is much more like Stalin than Churchill or any other western “hero” that British or U.S. acolytes and sycophants may wish to brand him. Notoriously corrupt and terminally arrogant he will no doubt soon shuffle off to one of his Swiss palaces bought from western taxpayers’ hard won paychecks. There he will continue to bray in that dark brown voice of his regaling a diminishing number of people who will listen to him, of how he was so right in all he did… if only, this, that or the other had been done by others.
