“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.

Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 14th October 2023:
Ukraine’s counteroffensive is over – Moscow.
Kiev has achieved nothing and Russian troops have now taken the initiative.
The four-month “counteroffensive” by Ukrainian forces has failed to reach any of its objectives, the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, told the Security Council on Friday.
“For several days now, Russian troops have switched to combat operations, practically along the entire front line. Therefore, we can consider the so-called Ukrainian counteroffensive formally over,” Nebenzia said.
According to the Russian envoy, four months of Ukrainian attacks resulted only in “hundreds of units of destroyed Western equipment” and “tens of thousands of lives of those conscripted by the Kiev regime, most of whom did not want to fight.” Some of the lucky ones surrendered and stayed alive, Nebenzia added.
Ukraine’s casualties have amounted to “over 90,000 people,” 557 tanks and 1,900 armored vehicles, Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed last week at the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi.
Instead of putting an end to the “massacre” of Ukrainians on the frontline, the West “continues to feed them weapons, like a drug to an addict, thus prolonging his agony,” Nebenzia told the UN Security Council.
“Let me emphasize that Russia is opposed not by the armed forces of Ukraine, whose resources are almost exhausted, but by the collective military machine of the NATO countries and their combined defense industry,” the Russian envoy added.
“The cynicism of our former Western partners is simply amazing,” he said, bringing up the recent statement of Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren that arming Ukraine is “a very cheap way” to confront Russia.
A Ukraine that lives in peace with its neighbors and respects the rights of all of its citizens “had and still has a future,” the Russian envoy concluded. “The criminal neo-Nazi regime of [Vladimir] Zelensky does not.”
The head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, Kirill Budanov, admitted on Thursday that the offensive wasn’t just “behind schedule” but “off the schedule entirely,” adding that the explanation for that is classified.
Ukraine’s counteroffensive is over – Moscow.

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.

UKRAINE AND WESTERN "JOURNALISM"
1/ Did we once believe our news services via press & media in #US & #EU were objective? Perhaps we did. How hopelessly naive this seems now.
2/ The concept of objectivity by western journalists seems something from another era, a time of valiant heroes, comic book heroes in fact.
3/ We need to confront the fact that some sizeable number of people in #US & #EU believe western mainstream press is being objective. @Guardian
4/ We will finally have to get over any remaining surprise at seeing bare-faced opinion & supposition posing as serious analysis on #Russia.
5/ It is obvious now that #US #EU mass media stand shoulder to shoulder w/ the flunkies, smuggies & mandarins of the 1% under a @NATO umbrella.
6/ We should never again submit to the mistake of having idealistic notions of western reporters valiantly seeking out the objective truth.
7/ Undiluted truth was never an obtainable goal but seeking to get as close as possible was what we have always hoped for in journalism.
8/ But, if we have not been naive we perhaps merely didn't give it enough thought before. Though Iraq was certainly a strident alarm call.
9/ Journalists of western mass media are as much part & parcel of the western war effort as Ukraine's various mercenaries or Neo-Nazis.
10/ It may be time to ignore them completely except as an arm of the fascistic enemy existing from west coast of US to west bank of Dneiper
11/ Western journalists & editors were NEVER going to even TRY to deliver balanced reporting on #Russia or #Ukraine. The are part of the elite.
12/ Western "journalism" needs a new name at times like these. 'Pseudo-State Military - Literary Arm'? Or more accurately: 'Propagandists'.
13/ For those who care about objectivity, honesty & getting the victim's story told it's hard. Those concerns are invisible to western MSM now.
14/ The overwhelming concern & need of western mass media is to fit their words as seamlessly as possible into the western state narrative.
15/ That a brutal, terrorist #Ukraine regime randomly targeting civilians has to be supported is what western journalists feel they "have to do"
16/ Western journos will excuse themselves, sublimate, "justify", endlessly bolster themselves by repeating lies about "Russian Aggression".
17/ In cold light of day, if by a miracle journos became honest w/ themselves they wd see the kids killed by #Ukraine were also killed by THEM.
18/ Western so-called journalists of MSM are engaged in a form of literary #terrorism. They create conditions whereby more civilians will die.
19/ By hiding fact of #Ukraine's policy in acts of #terrorism against civilians western journalists provide a conscience-free killing ground.
20/ When the #Ukraine crisis is finally over & if there is any justice left in the world those MSM "journalists" will hang alongside Poroshenko.
