“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.

Analyst Mark Sleboda offered an update on Russia’s progress in the Ukraine conflict as Western headlines have been dominated by Kiev’s ill-fated terrorist attack on the Kursk region.
A Russian strike in the city of Poltava on Tuesday made headlines as Ukrainian officials claimed dozens had been killed by a pair of ballistic missiles.
“We do not have to go to Russian officials to determine what was hit in this strike,” noted international affairs and security analyst Mark Sleboda, adding, “We can just refer to Kiev regime officials – aside from the propaganda social media post put out by Zelensky's wife. According to Reuters, ... Volodymyr Zelensky was saying ‘the strike damaged a building of the Military Institute of Communications,’” Sleboda said at Sputnik’s Political Misfits program Tuesday.
“Further on, in the same Reuters article: ‘officials did not immediately disclose the identity of the victims, but Ukrainian military bloggers suggested that some might be cadets or mobilized,’” he continued. “I.e., conscripted men undergoing training. Serhiy Beskrestnov, a blogger specializing in communications and electronic warfare, posted a tribute to ‘my signals operator comrades,’ which makes a lot of sense because it is a Military Institute of Communications.”
Even Ukrainian sources, Sleboda noted, have admitted the target of the Russian strike was a military installation. “The truth is that training facilities – military training facilities – are regularly hit on both sides,” said the analyst, recalling a Ukrainian strike on a Russian military training ground in the Lugansk region about a month ago. The attack, Sleboda pointed out, was carried out with US ATACMS missiles which require the direct participation of the United States for the input of targeting information.
Witte followed up by inquiring about the recent progress of the Russian military, which has gradually continued its campaign westward liberating one village at a time. Ukraine’s botched incursion into Russia’s Kursk region has remained in the headlines in recent days, drawing attention away from Moscow’s steady march towards the Dnipro River. But Sleboda said Russia’s ongoing advances in the Pokrovsk area should not be ignored.
“They've punched through the Kiev regime's defensive lines – first, several months ago in Avdeyevka, and then they got into operational space just to the west of that, which we call the Ocheretino bloom, and now we call it the Pokrovsk Offensive,” said Sleboda. “Russian forces are moving so fast and the Kiev regime defenses are so light, they have so few men and so few resources that… they're not turning every single building into a firing point and mini fortress.”
“That's how fast Russian forces are moving,” he continued. “They've already got, by some accounts, 40 to 50% of Selidovo and are moving to taking Pokrovsk into pincers. The effect of taking Pokrovsk will be like severing the artery, right? The heart's blood that is pumping supplies to the remaining Kiev regime occupied positions both north and south in the Donbass… It has huge strategic importance. And the Kiev regime is only very late in the day now trying to even withdraw forces from Kursk to send all the way back to try to defend. But I think it's too late for all of that.”
“This is major, it is an operational crisis and the defensive collapse of the Kiev regime,” Sleboda claimed. “And Russia has started a whole new offensive in the south there in this direction to take Ugledar further also into pincers. So, huge things are happening in central and south Donbass right now.”
Witte asked for Sleboda’s predictions for the progress of the Russian army, suggesting 2025 could be a pivotal year in the conflict. The host claimed Moscow would arrive in the Dnepropetrovsk region by the spring of next year, consolidating its previous gains as it pushes westward.
“There's no seasonal pause or anything like that,” Sleboda claimed. “When will this end? Well, after the Donbass is liberated, Russia has to continue to liberate the parts of Kherson and Zaporozhye, namely Kherson city and Zaporozhye city, eponymously named, that are both under the control of the Kiev regime and some small amounts of territory in both of those regions.”
“Because those regions, as far as Russia is concerned, had referendums and are now included in the Russian constitution as part of Russia,” the analyst continued. “Russia has recently said, as a result of the Kursk incursion, there's no negotiations anymore. We can't negotiate. It's impossible.”
"The Russian side has strongly condemned the barbaric terrorist attack of the armed formations of the Nazi Kiev regime in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. It was emphasized that in such a situation there could be no talk of any negotiations with Kiev regarding the prospects for a political and diplomatic settlement," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement in August
“There's no one trustworthy or capable of negotiating on the Kiev regime side, which means regime change in Kiev at the least – probably not stopping to the Polish border, which could still be years down the line,” he concluded.

Ukraine’s FM quits – parliament speaker.
Dmitry Kuleba has joined four cabinet ministers already dismissed by Vladimir Zelensky.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba tendered his resignation to the national parliament on Wednesday, according to Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk, amid an ongoing purge by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky.
Four other cabinet members; Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Olga Stefanishina, Minister for Strategic Industries Aleksandr Kamyshin, Minister of Justice Denis Maliuski, and Minister of Environmental Protection Ruslan Strilets were also relieved of their posts by Zelensky on Tuesday. Prime Minister Denis Shmigal will reportedly keep his job, the outlet claimed.
Rumors about Kuleba’s imminent departure began circulating as soon as the other changes in the cabinet were announced.
The Ukrainskaya Pravda newspaper previously claimed that Kuleba’s most likely replacement will be Andrey Sibiga, a former ambassador described by the outlet as both Zelensky’s deputy chief of staff and Kuleba’s own deputy. The prediction on Tuesday evening cited a source in Zelensky’s office.
The cabinet purge comes after the official expiration of both Zelensky’s presidential mandate and that of the Ukrainian parliament. The Ukrainian constitution provides only for the extension of parliamentary terms, but Zelensky has argued the martial law announced in February 2022 allows him to postpone all elections indefinitely.
Meanwhile, some sources in Kiev have told Western outlets that Zelensky’s chief of staff, movie producer Andrey Yermak, de facto runs the country. Zelensky’s office has denied this.
Rumors of Kuleba’s impending ouster have swirled since March, following the resignation of Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko, one of his proteges. The outlet Strana reported that Zelensky was acutely displeased with the diplomatic service, and was considering replacing Kuleba with his foreign policy adviser Igor Zhovkva.
Nothing came of that rumor, however, and Kuleba continued browbeating the West into giving Kiev more weapons, ammunition and cash to fight against Russia.
“If decisions are taken, Ukraine is successful on the ground. If they are not taken, then do not complain about Ukraine, complain about yourself,” Kuleba told EU foreign ministers last week, demanding “bold decisions” from the bloc. Kiev has been blaming restrictions on the use of weapons provided by the US and its allies for its deteriorating frontline fortunes.
After Brussels, Kuleba went to Poland, where he managed to offend his hosts – and a key country for supplying Ukraine with Western aid – by calling certain Polish territories “Ukrainian lands” and suggesting that the displacement of ethnic Ukrainians from Poland’s territory in 1947 was equivalent to the massacres of Poles by Ukrainian nationalists that Warsaw has described as genocidal.

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.

WHO IS BEST POSITIONED TO FINANCE A FOREVER WAR IN UKRAINE?
With factors such as a stable, growing economy, a supportive social sphere & allies able & willing to provide assistance...who can best sustain the ongoing fight between The West & Russia in Ukraine?
The conflict in Ukraine will continue for the foreseeable future and may in fact continue, in one form or another, for a great many years ahead. What is at stake for both sides and the now clear and unresolvable enmity involved between Russia and West it will perhaps never conclusively end as the factors in play reveal intractable differences between the two sides. A full settlement where a peace closely resembling normality in the region appears completely unattainable at this point.
Talk of peace, negotiations to bring peace and peace formulas on all sides appear to be only public relations exercises to manipulate public opinion and the attitudes of allied national leaders on both sides. The chances of a true, stable, lasting peace I regard as zero at this point. Only one side or the other achieving total victory will achieve this. And even then moves will inevitably follow to wage a covert war of some kind as the overarching factors well above those purely regarding Ukraine will remain untouched regardless of that conflict’s outcome.
The western powers want two things that currently they are using Ukraine for as a potential springboard to achieving. They want to shore up, build and significantly increase in strength the reach, power and manipulative influence they have had globally since the end of world war II. This desire to dominate once again globally ties in precisely with the second goal which is to attain ‘full spectrum dominance’ brought about by a totally effective system of global surveillance. This latter goal of course cannot be achieved to its fullest extent without achieving the first. Defeating Russia in Ukraine is vital if the project to attain both goals is to move forward.
Nine Eleven was the genesis for both goals above. Prior to nine eleven the USA (and is proxies) were content (in the main, outside the sphere of neocon influence) to maintain the status quo whereby U.S. soft power maintained the interests of the USA worldwide with military bases in place to ensure no one had any ideas of opposing its power. Nine Eleven destroyed all faith in this setup being sufficient to maintain those interests. More and larger bases would not solve this new reality, more threats, bribes or inducements would also not be sufficient to do so. A new, overarching and far more ambitious strategy was required. The talks immediately after nine eleven clearly arrived at the following conclusions:
ALL anti-western individuals, governments and systems of governance MUST be weakened, subverted, eliminated and replaced.
A comprehensive system of in-depth global surveillance MUST be established to ensure no such event as nine eleven would ever again occur.
This is why the conflict in Ukraine is VERY unlikely to ever, conclusively end. If it ends in Russian favour then the two goals above, seen as utterly VITAL for U.S. national security will not be achieved. Too many major obstacles lie ahead of the defeat of Russia for it not to happen. The overthrow of the Iranian authorities, those of Syria and above all others such as Yemen, Somalia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Cuba, is China. Russia was chosen as a primary target after the semi-failures/semi-successes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. These latter were sufficiently weakened, if not brought as hoped for to the conclusion desired.
This is not to say the Nine Eleven goals are achievable. As we have seen in the final four nations mentioned directly above, there is no realistic prospect of the rather naive new world order with the U.S. firmly in charge arriving any time soon. And certainly no prospect of its arrival at all in the form dreamed of as the ideal where the USA and its allies exist in perfect safety, comprehensively dominating all others and able to spy on and react to the activities and opinions of everyone at all times. No system, no matter how draconian and totalitarian wil suppress everyone 24/7 without stimulating the very revolt it seeks to quash.
But the above demonstrates how important the defeat of Russia is at least. For after Russia comes the big one, China. After the defeat of china the defeat of the small fry mentioned above becomes child’s play. But Russia is the major stumbling block that the collective west MUST remove if it is to have an open avenue of attack toward China. With Russia still able to mount resistance the ability of the USA & co. to have at it in full force against China is severely limited. Russia mUST be defeated. There MUST be regime change in Russia and its people brought to heel, its systems and present figures of authority eliminated and replaced.
So, the war in Ukraine between the collective west and Russia is about SO much more than Ukraine or the Ukrainian people. It is about the West defeating Russia, making Russia economically weak, about stirring up its people against Putin and the present Russian authorities, fomenting insurrection and attaining regime change. This was what the financial and economic sanctions against Russia were designed to do after pushing Russia into waging the present war. Russia was to collapse like a house of cards with the resulting chaos bringing about a ‘Russian Spring’ where western influence became paramount being framed as ‘friendly assistance’.
But Russia not only was not weakened by the western sanctions, it is clear that it has begun to thrive under them, and partly due to them. Niche areas of the Russian arena, vacated by high value western companies and brands have been filled by Russian-owned enterprises and products. The profits and of course the taxes from these developments now stay in Russia and are now free to be invested in Russia. The resultant growth of the Russian economy has been one of the most unexpected outcomes of the western sanctions and is generating much dismay in the West. In addition, the expected (by the West) withdrawal of Russia’s most prominent trading partners from it due to the Ukraine conflict didn’t happen. In fact the reverse occurred, they grew closer.
AS Russia was growing stronger Europe was growing much weaker. Without cheap Russian oil and natural gas the costs of western industry soared. Germany was hardest hit but all across Europe populations felt the difference. They began to feel much poorer than before the sanctions regime was put in place. The USA also felt it at first though Biden put a policy in place that added to the damage being done in Europe but gave the USA a shield of sorts to limit it. This was the Inflation Reduction Act. It should have been abundantly clear to the allies of the USA in Europe that they were being thrown under the bus by the U.S., and would always be whenever push came to shove. Europe then can be seen to be incapable of matching Russian power in the conflict in Ukraine. But what of the USA?
The USA, with a national debt heading toward $35 trillion and interest payments of $billions still manages to retain an exceptional status regarding its many economic woes due to the remaining power within its economy. However, the rot within U.S. society can plainly be seen across many diverse factors of which the average American is very aware. Illegal drug use, the remaining vast inequality, rising crime, police racism and abuse, a medical service either unattainable or likely to bankrupt, a political system where lobby groups and special interests prevail and a foreign policy making the USA a target of increasing dislike and disdain. Can the USA afford to continue to fund the Ukrainian regime? Just about. But can it afford to continue to supply weaponry and munitions to the degree the Kiev regime craves?
This latter point concerning what the Americans call “aid” is where te USA is weakest when it comes to continuing the fight with Russia. Not only are its stocks low and not being replenished anywhere near those of Russia, Russia is also increasingly destroying everything it does provide. Russia’s military industrial complex is running in high gear while the USA has just told the Ukrainian regime not to expect many more HIMARS missiles as it cannot possibly keep up with its demands. At the same time the American taxpayer is increasingly resistant to its government sending every more billions of their money to a the corrupt leaders of the most corrupt nation in Europe, if not the world.
While the West has increasing problems funding its war via Ukraine Russia has only positive aspects regarding its potential to keep up the fight. Russia’s allies are now lending a helping hand while the USA’s allies in Europe, such as Germany, have empty pockets and armories. China is lending Russia moral support and friendship. India too. North Korea and Iran are doing this too and more, they supply a very useful arsenal of missiles and drones for Russian use. Besides Russian MIC at full steam and allies helping on the battlefront Russia has more friends entering the scene via BRICS. Over forty nations are now in the queue to join. So, who is best placed to continue the fight in Ukraine and win… I leave it up to you to decide.
