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.

PROFESSOR JOHN J MEARSHEIMER: WHY IS UKRAINE THE WEST’S FAULT?
Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 30th March 2023:
Ukrainian army ‘almost destroyed’ – Wagner chief.
Clinging to the Donbass city of Artyomovsk cost Kiev dearly and possibly sealed its fate, Evgeny Prigozhin has claimed.
The head of the Wagner Group private military company (PMC) Evgeny Prigozhin has described Ukraine’s losses in the battle for the city of Artryomovsk as almost fatal for Kiev’s entire military. The sacrifices being made by his group for the sake of Russia were, he added, worth it.
“As of today, the battle for Bakhmut has almost destroyed the Ukrainian army,” Prigozhin said in a statement on Wednesday, using the name by which Kiev calls the city. His own Wagner Group companies also took “a serious beating,” he acknowledged.
He called the battle the “general engagement” of the entire conflict where Wagner troops were pitted against Ukrainian armed forces and “foreign units installed into them.” A victory by his troops would be “a turning point” and a historic event, securing a Russian victory, Prigozhin predicted.
“The Russian army alone will be left on the chessboard, and all other pieces will be removed,” he forecast. “Even if PMC Wagner is destroyed in the Bakhmut [sic] meat grinder but takes the Ukrainian army with it … it would mean that we have accomplished our historic mission.”
The fight for Artyomovsk has emerged as one of the most intensive and bloody engagements of the armed conflict in Ukraine, with both sides reportedly suffering significant casualties. Western officials have claimed that the city poses no strategic military value, but Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky pledged to defend it as long as possible after proclaiming the city a fortress.
The Ukrainian leader explained to The Associated Press earlier this week that if Russia were to capture Artyomovsk, his government would come under international and domestic pressure to seek peace with Moscow.
“Our society will feel tired,” he told the news agency, “Our society will push me to have compromise with them.”

SUPPORTING SCOTT RITTER
I've been listening to Scott Ritter describe how things are for him and I suspect have been for him for quite some time now.
He has been doing a LOT of unpaid work with a great many interview requests coming in that he has been ready and willing to agree to. But the work where receives some pay for have suffered due to this, being left until the wee small hours of the night to complete work on.
Scott, I think you will agree, has been one of the most influential voices out there on Russia and Ukraine.
I was moved by Scott's words to take an annual subscription to his Substack account that he runs in coordination with his colleague on 'U.S. Tour of Duty', Jeff Norman. This is the main way that Scott recommends to help him with finances with which to upgrade his delivery of comment on Russia and Ukraine, via a better microphone etc. and perhaps the creation of a recording studio in his basement to create a more professional and impressive look. To invest in these things he would like to be sure that this has a viable financial future.
Would you also like to help by subscribing at one of the various levels to Scott's Substack account? I hope so. If so the link is here:
Below you'll find the edited part of the video where Scott talks of his commitments to get the facts out on events in Ukraine and of the finances that would come in handy to enhance their delivery:

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.

UPDATES TO BE ADDED HERE AS AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS
WASHINGTON & WHITEHALL WILL SEND EVERY LAST UKRAINIAN TO THEIR DEATHS
Not since the tactic of trying to overwhelm an enemy with wave after wave of troops, 90% of them wiped out before they even reached a firing position, i.e. that of the Japanese foot soldiers in WWII will there have been such a bloodbath as we are likely to see now in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian regime, prompted primarily by the USA and UK is reduced to frog-marching any civilian men it can find and capture up to the age of seventy into its heavily-depleted army and sending them as cannon-fodder into what has been labelled as the ‘Great Ukrainian Counteroffensive’.
No matter that they die in their droves or are horrendously wounded after being sent to face the professional Russian military with almost no training, no artillery or air cover to speak of and get shot, shelled and bombed out of their misery… it appears it will make no difference to the soulless men and women who are delivering them to their own personal hell.
For the sake of a publicity stunt aimed at impressing their vendors, Ukrainian men who would far rather be at home with their families will be sacrificed on the altar of Biden’s pride. That Zelensky’s puppet-masters, care not a thing about the average Ukrainian is clear. It must surely be the case that the Ukrainian military high command must also be aware of this fact and are surely also thinking of how to depose of the excruciatingly vainglorious puppet who is sending so many to their deaths.
As has been revealed, it was Boris Johnson who must bear a significant amount of blame for the bloodbath we have seen and will continue to see with hundreds of Ukrainian troops dying on a daily basis. It was primarily he who personally delivered the message to Zelensky that on no account must he seek a peaceful agreement with Russia to end the fighting but instead to fight on and be supplied with endless weaponry by the collective West. This is why Johnson will always be known as a war criminal, whether he is hauled before the International Criminal Court at The Hague or not.
Knowing that the war cannot be won and this has been clear to those in ex-military circles since February 24 2022, this is truly a crime against humanity by the entire elite political superstructure of the western world with Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and certain others being the primary war criminals responsible. This war is being knowingly and actively extended by the aforementioned, not with any foolish concept connected with Ukraine “winning”, that was never even a remorse possibility, but instead sacrificing the life blood of tens of thousands of Ukrainians in the West’s proxy war to weaken Russia.
The lies that have been told by the western political and media elites have gushed like waterfalls after the worst torrential storm known to mankind. They have rushed in a torrent engulfing every mainstream conduit of press or media. It has poured into gullible minds corrupting intelligence everywhere across a West that has lost all touch with either conscience or reality. These lies have served to reinforce the power of those doing the bloodletting in Ukraine, it has served to stiffen the sinews of cynical and deeply callous attitudes that engender mass murder. And it has seeped into the consciousness of an entire western culture degrading it beyond recognition.
And while Ukrainians of all ages die in their droves at the behest of the monstrous evil residing in Kiev, Washington and Whitehall, these devils in human form plot even more disastrous moves that will sacrifice ever more of them to die horrible deaths or suffer for the rest of their lives from horrendous mutilations. The men and women behind these atrocities have no compunction about sending ever greater numbers of Ukrainians to their deaths or lifelong misery. Only the rabid, obsessional need to win over the Russians obsesses them and they are willing to fight to the last Ukrainian to achieve their global ambitions.
