*** UKRAINIAN REGIME MOVES INEXORABLY TOWARDS ITS DEFEAT ***
“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 on brink of default.
Vladimir Zelensky has signed a law allowing Kiev to suspend debt payments to Western creditors for two months.
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has signed a decree allowing for the suspension of the country’s external debt payments for two months starting August 1, and hopes to reach a restructuring agreement with creditors in order to avoid default.
Last month, Ukraine announced a preliminary deal with a committee of its main bondholders to restructure the country’s near-$20 billion worth of international debt. The proposal specified a 37% nominal haircut on the nation’s outstanding international bonds, saving Kiev $11.4 billion in payments over the next three years. Ukraine will issue new Eurobonds in return.
Kiev secured a preliminary deal to suspend debt repayments back in 2022 after the escalation of its conflict with Russia. The two-year payment moratorium on the payments expired on August 1.
Apart from amending the country’s Budget Code to allow Kiev to halt payments, the newly adopted legislation allows the authorities to include Ukravtodor’s 2021 Eurobonds, valued in aggregate at $700 million plus interest, in the state debt restructuring framework.

The move will be the country’s second rework of the kind in a decade. A similar solution which gave Kiev the right to suspend payments on sovereign debt was applied in the restructuring deal of 2015. Ukraine passed legislation on specifics of transactions with state debt, state-guaranteed debt and local debt in May of that year, reached agreements in principle with creditors the following August, and announced the deal’s conclusion several months later, in November.
International bondholders have yet to approve of the latest debt-restructuring agreement, with the technical issues behind it expected to take weeks to work out. However, a short-term default would have a less significant impact on Ukraine’s long-term borrowing prospects than a default with no deal in sight.
Last week, US-based credit rating agency Fitch warned of an imminent default in Ukraine, announcing that it had further cut Kiev’s credit rating from ‘CC’ to ‘C’ which denotes that a country has entered default or is in a default-like process.
Fitch also projects the state deficit to remain high, at 17.1% of Ukraine’s GDP this year, noting that defense spending amounted to 31.3% of the country’s annual economic output in 2023. The agency expects Ukraine’s debt to surge to 92.5% of GDP in 2024.

Russian citizens who left the country and spoke out against Moscow should stay away, Kremlin spokesman has said.
Russians who fled the country due to the Ukraine conflict and adopted the positions of enemies of Moscow should stay away, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said, adding that those who left but did not make themselves foes of Russia should return.
The statement was made during an interview on Thursday with Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.
“I believe that all enemies should stay abroad, and all who are not enemies should return,” the Russian president’s press secretary stated, stressing this was his personal point of view.
Peskov’s statement echoes remarks he made in March when he said that some of those who left the country “literally took the position of an enemy of their country.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin also weighed in on the issue at the time, saying the attitude towards those who return to their homeland would depend on their deeds.

“If in the minds of the overwhelming majority, not some part of some elite, but the overwhelming majority of citizens, a person behaved immorally in relation to Russia, then, of course, he will feel it when he returns here. How else can it be?” he said, adding that anyone who violated laws would have to answer for it.
Putin’s announcement of a special military operation in February 2022 prompted many Russians to go abroad. The president’s order of a partial military mobilization of reservists in September 2022 also triggered a new wave of departures, with many Russian citizens choosing to head for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and Armenia, none of which require a visa for visiting Russians.
The relocation process has since slowed if not reversed, experts say. According to various estimates in Russian media, up to half of those who relocated in 2022 have already returned.
Putin has praised the return of business people, entrepreneurs and highly qualified specialists as a “good trend.”

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.
