*** KIEV REGIME IN DESPERATION TURNS TO TERRORISM ***
“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.

Ukraine could not have staged a deadly attack on Crimea without US participation, Russian envoy Anatoly Antonov has said.

The US is helping Ukraine launch “terrorist strikes” against Russian civilians, Moscow’s ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, has said. Kiev used US-provided ATACMS missiles with cluster munition warheads to attack the Russian city of Sevastopol on Sunday, killing at least four people and injuring more than 150 others, including dozens of children.
While four of the missiles were intercepted by air defenses, a fifth veered off course and detonated a cluster warhead over a busy Black Sea beach, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
The Ukrainian attack was purposefully carried out when there was a maximum concentration of people on the beach, Antonov told journalists when asked to comment on Washington’s lack of reaction to the deadly strike.

“The administration demonstratively supports the crimes of the Kiev regime. It took the side of international terrorism, and condones attacks on civilians by Bandera’s adherents,” the ambassador stated.
“It is obvious to policymakers in Washington that cluster munitions in ATACMS missiles cannot be launched without the participation of American specialists and support from US intelligence. It is no coincidence that enemy drones are circling over the Black Sea almost every day,” he added.
“All this indicates the death of America’s pseudo-humane foreign policy in the bloody swamp of the Ukrainian crisis.”

The Russian Defense Ministry has pinned the blame for Ukraine’s “premeditated terrorist missile attack” on Washington, accusing it of supplying Kiev with the ATACMS missiles and providing intelligence and reconnaissance data on Russian targets.
According to Sevastopol’s governor, Mikhail Razvozhaev, at least four people, two of whom were children, were killed in the missile strike. The number of wounded had risen to 151 as of Sunday evening. A team of specialists from the Ministry of Health has been dispatched to the city to help the victims. Bomb disposal crews are combing the beach for potential unexploded submunitions from the ATACMS cluster warhead.

Civilians killed on Sevastopol beach were ‘occupiers’ – top Zelensky aide.
There cannot be any “peaceful life” in Crimea, Mikhail Podoliak has warned.
The four Russian civilians killed by a Ukrainian cluster munitions attack on a Crimean beach were “occupiers,” as are the residents of the region at large, and as such their deaths are justifiable, Vladimir Zelensky’s top aide, Mikhail Podoliak, declared on Monday.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Ukrainian military fired five US-supplied ATACMS missiles at the Crimean city of Sevastopol on Sunday. Russian air defense systems destroyed four of the projectiles in mid-air, but the fifth was damaged, veered off course, and detonated its cluster warhead over a packed beach, killing four civilians and injuring more than 150. Two of those killed were children.
The Kremlin described the attack as an act of “terrorism,” and argued that the US bears equal responsibility for the deaths. “Cluster munitions in ATACMS missiles cannot be launched without the participation of American specialists and support from US intelligence,” Russia’s envoy to the US, Anatoly Antonov, stated. “It is no coincidence that enemy drones are circling over the Black Sea almost every day.”
In a post to his Telegram channel, Podoliak defended the Ukrainian attack.

“There are not and cannot be any ‘beaches’, ‘tourist zones’ and other fictitious signs of ‘peaceful life’ in Crimea,” he wrote. “Crimea is definitely a foreign territory occupied by Russia, where hostilities are taking place, a full-scale war is ongoing.”
“Crimea is also a large military camp and warehouse, with hundreds of direct military targets, which the Russians cynically try to mask and cover with their own civilians,” he continued, adding that these civilians are considered “occupiers” by Kiev.
Crimea has been considered Russian land since imperial times, and was an autonomous republic within the Soviet Union when it was transferred to the Ukrainian SSR by Soviet Premier Nikita Kruschev in 1954 for logistical reasons. The peninsula remained in Ukrainian hands after the fall of the USSR, until its people voted overwhelmingly to join the Russian Federation in 2014. Prior to the 2014 referendum, the Kiev government rejected a number of similar plebiscites during the 1990s.
The US and NATO view Crimea as “illegally annexed” Ukrainian territory, and have demanded that Moscow return the region to Kiev’s control.

The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned US ambassador Lynne Tracy on Monday morning to answer for Washington’s role in the attack. According to a statement released by the ministry, Russian officials told Tracy that Sunday’s “bloody atrocity” will “not go unpunished.”
The US Embassy in Moscow has yet to comment. When asked for its take on the deadly Ukrainian strike, the Pentagon replied that “we have seen the reports and have nothing to say.”

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 IS IT ABOUT PUTIN?
One man above all others living now creates a polarizing effect in a world fast splitting into two; the Collective West and the Global Majority. What is this all about and who is this incredible man?
Mention the name Putin to anyone of senior (or even junior) rank within the western world, or more accurately the collective west including the Baltic nations, Australia and New Zealand and you are likely to see a face distorted into a mask of anger with writhing lips of utter disdain a major feature. What comes out of the mouth of such a creature then will likely be a torrent of abuse calling the subject of your query any number of dreadful terms amounting to an identification with the worst human demons of living history.
Make the same query of almost anyone outside of this sphere of hatred encountered in the West and the reaction is most likely to be the polar opposite of the above. A little smile is likely to play on those quite relaxed lips. A look in the eye of delight that the subject mentioned graces his or her day. The words then spoken will talk of great admiration, respect and delight that such a man exists in his or her time.
What to make of these two wholly different reactions?
Putin divides the world into two distinct camps as regards the leadership of nations within the western orbit and those belonging to the global majority. On one side he deserves hauling to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. On the other there is only a wish that the leadership of their countries could only emulate the great man.
Jail or gratefully-given awards of the highest merit? Despised and loathed as a reincarnated Hitler? Or worthy of the highest degree of respect possible to any human at any time? Each one of us will have their own view. If you live within the catchment of the West then you will have been exposed to almost non-stop criticism of Putin. You will have heard him called a murderer, a terrorist, a thief, a dictator and all round rogue of the worst possible kind, a thoroughly bad character who is a danger to the entire world. Hearing all this may have had its effect on you. Then again it may not.
On the other hand, those who judge Putin not by hearsay or headlines but by close observation of the man and who take some time to listen to what he says and investigate the genesis of the problem areas he is often criticised for, those people more often than not are impressed and can no longer be touched by the wall-to-wall lambasting of the man within the western world.
Women tend to find him very attractive, men admire his manliness and calm demeanour under pressure, his ability to answer questions in depth and his qualities as a strategist. Of course I should hastily add that women will also be inclined to admire the qualities just mentioned also. As far as other world leaders are concerned, why not check out Putin’s relationship with Modi of India or Xi of China and a bevy of others. Check out the smiles, the handshakes, the hugs, the embraces and the friendly smiles. There can be no doubt that Putin is greatly admired and respected… just not inside the western orbit. Why might this be so?
The western powers find themselves in long term decline. Their powers are waning. The ability to dominate the world and dictate to it is fast ceasing to be. Their grip on power is now seen as a highly unwelcome anachronism that has aggrandised them at the expense of others. Their threats and regular violence are now seen as barriers to peace and freedom rather than agents to bring such virtues about in the world. Rather than being dominated, regulated, manipulated and sometimes regime changed nations now see the opportunity to join in beneficial harmony and stability with others no matter what their systems of governance may be. The USA, UK and their proxies bring only discord and war to bring everyone in line with what they deem appropriate. Nations wish to have the freedom now to decide such things for themselves.
Putin has provided the support and inspiration for this to happen, for the world to come together at last in that long held dream of community, able to trade, make cultural exchanges and evolve greater understandings outside of the restricting and destructive demands of the USA and others that they conform to some standard and value system set by them. Putin is creating the foundation, the stepping stones to a new world where war can finally be banished because we are no longer attempting to mould all nations to one set image.
This is why Putin is SO admired within the nations that constitute the global majority and so hated by a western political elite that is steadily losing the power to terrify others into obeying them. That’s about it. That, in short is why we see these two quite distinct views on the man. Thankfully love is defeating hatred day by day now and through a great many diverse means.
This is ultimately what it is all about regarding our most esteemed president, Vladimir Putin, the greatest statesman of our age.
