“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.

‘Root causes’ of Ukraine conflict should be eliminated – Lavrov.
Russia and the West need mutual security guarantees for the crisis to be resolved, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov speaks at the UN Security Council meeting on July 16, 2024.
The world should address the “root causes” that led to the “crisis” in Europe and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a ministerial summit at the UN Security Council on Tuesday. Ending the standoff between Moscow and Kiev should be accompanied by the removal of the threat posed by the West to Russia’s security, he said.
Conditions for a “sustainable peace” between Russia and Ukraine had already been presented by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the top diplomat noted. In June, Putin outlined Moscow’s terms for initiating a ceasefire. They involved a full withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from all Russian territories, including the republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, and the regions of Kherson and Zaporozhye, as well as a legal commitment from Kiev never to join NATO.
Any final deal should be recognized in Western capitals and pave the way to lift sanctions against Russia, Putin added. Both Kiev and its Western backers dismissed the offer.
Any “political and diplomatic settlement [of the Ukraine conflict] should be accompanied by specific steps aimed at removing the threats to the Russian Federation posed by the [West],” Lavrov told the UNSC as he listed the measures needed to “restore trust and stabilize the situation” on the international arena. “The root causes of the crisis that has broken out in Europe should be dealt with once and for all.”
Russia and the West need mutual “guarantees and agreements,” the minister stated, adding that “new geostrategic realities on the Eurasian continent” should be taken into account as well. According to Lavrov, a new “pan continental architecture of truly equal and indivisible security” was being formed on the continent.

“The global and regional balance of power should be restored as well, along with repairing injustices in the world economy,” he said. A multipolar world should not have any monopolies in the financial or currency regulation, trade or technologies, he said, calling on the World Trade Organization to be reformed to reflect the “real weight” of non-Western centers of growth and development.
Moscow has long blamed the hegemonic aspirations of Washington and its allies for various crises in recent decades. In June, Putin said the world had missed an opportunity to create a better, more just and secure international order in the 1990s. The US and other Western nations believed they had “won the Cold War and refused to respect the interests of others,” he said at that time.
That approach manifested itself in NATO’s policy of resolving conflicts that came down to “accusing the party they dislike of all sins and crushing it,” Putin stated. Such an approach proved to be a disaster, according to the Russian president. He also denied that Russia was the main threat to Europe, arguing that the greatest danger to European nations comes from their massive dependence on the US.

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.

WE ARE NEAR THE END IN UKRAINE - BUT HOW MANY MORE ARE STILL TO DIE?
The final days of the conflict in Ukraine have arrived. The stakes are so high however that it is almost certain the western powers will seek one final devastating attack before seeking to negotiate.
There have been quite a few false dawns since February 24th 2022 when Russian armour and manpower crossed the Ukrainian border at multiple points. It is clear now that Putin and his military high command sent in the small force that crossed over with the intent to intimidate Zelensky into coming to his senses and finally implementing what he had signed up to in Minsk. He came very close to doing so in fact. If it was not for the interference in the peace negotiations in Istanbul in March and April 2022 all the signs are it would have been all over then and there.
But interfere Boris Johnson did and not without the acquiescence or command of Joe Biden and others. Putin’s hope to finally see the Minsk process through to a largely peaceful conclusion where a final resolution that suited both sides could be agree, was dashed. Even then Putin didn’t do more than progressively up the ante only to the degree that the Ukrainian regime and its sponsors did so. Apparently he could not bring himself to believe that they were willing to take this as fas as we now see it has come. It took Putin a long time to shed the gloves that kept casualties and damage to infrastructure to a minimum.
Putin does things by the book, by the law books he studied in St. Petersburg. He is a stickler for doing the right thing. However, betrayal does not sit well with him. Zelensky, Merkel, Hollande and Macron all acted a part in Minsk, all seeking to keep the sham peace process going while they readied the Ukrainian military for war. But even so, for Putin the Ukrainian people are dear Slavs, brothers and sisters to the Russian people. It also does not sit at all well with him to have to engage in this internecine strife. He sought a way out both in the initial weeks and then in the weeks that followed again in Minsk then in Istanbul. All to no avail. They would not engage him sincerely in his desire to seek a peaceful end to the years of conflict that began in 2014.
Now, two and a half years later and over half a million dead or injured we are at the place Putin know it would reach due to the unrelenting campaign the entire West had waged against him through the Ukrainian regime and its army. What other course could he have followed? To give up on Russia’s long term security, to allow NATO missiles within five minute range of the greater part of the Russian Federation, to leave tens of thousands of ultranationalists bearing swastika tattoos seeking Russian blood in the Donbass and even perhaps eying Russian lands across the border eventually. To leave Russia in a condition where order could be more easily subverted and chaos fomented from just across the border where the neoconservatives plotted the break up of his country? No. He had only one choice. Resist.
To retreat from where Russia found itself in the spring of 2014 would have been folly. American officials had been among those who foisted an insurrection upon a democratically elected president and government, killing police, burning down government offices and seeking to pursue a many months long perpetual riot. What part did democracy play in this America? Precisely none. The vast majority of Ukrainians had no say in it. Especially not those in central and eastern Ukraine, the Russian-speakers who had voted in that president and that government, almost unanimously. Seek any map of the electoral results in any year before 2014 and you will see the truth of this.
So now it is almost all over. All that death. All that destruction. For what? For a plan concocted by Biden, Johnson and others to deliver Russia two knock-out punches to deliver it out of the league of the great powers. Sanctions and a treasury-draining war. Neither proved an effective means of subversion against Russia and indeed the whole plan has blown back severely into the faces of all its planners. Now, as we approach the inevitable end of a Russian victory, inevitable as the West’s sanctions failed along with its long-planned Ukrainian defenses and weapon deliveries. Yet the West may have one last “trick” up its sleeve. There is talk of one last devastating attack, most likely on Crimea and Kherson with a massive influx of weapons having been secretly supplied.
Any new shock campaign by the Ukrainian regime will have to be devastating indeed if it is to change the calculation for the peace talks that must eventually begin. If it succeeds Russia may have to either revise its bargaining position or else continue to battle against whatever force the Ukrainians have hit it with. The latter is most likely. Russia will never easily give up the goals it has fought so long and hard for, no NATO membership for Ukraine, a neutral barrier between Russia and the western powers, de-militarisation of Ukraine, its de-Nazification and last but not least peace and security for the people of the Donbass and Crimea. The end is coming, that much is sure. But how many more will be added to the death toll before it does so? That remains to be seen and depends completely on those who have been seeking Russia’s end and have been opposing Russia’s vital need for security for ten long years now.
