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.

Articles by Russia Today (RT) - 23rd November 2023:
Germany running out of money for Ukraine aid – media.
Der Tagesspiegel has reported that budgetary constraints call into question Berlin’s ability to live up to its ambitious plans.
Germany could be nearing the limit of its financial capabilities to provide defense aid to Ukraine, Der Tagesspiegel has claimed. The newspaper also suggested that Berlin would not be able to deliver Kiev any more tanks than it has already pledged.
Earlier this week, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky expressed concern that a lack of military progress may already be dampening Kiev’s backers’ willingness to further shore it up. Several Western media outlets have also recently alleged that fatigue is growing across Europe as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has dragged on for over a year and a half.
In its report on Tuesday, Der Tagesspiegel argued that despite the announcement of a new military aid package worth €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion), which Defense Minister Boris Pistorius made that same day while on a visit to Kiev, there are question marks hanging over Germany’s ability to fulfil its existing pledges, let alone provide more weapons.
The media outlet pointed out that last Friday the Bundestag’s budget committee postponed making its decision on the 2024 draft budget. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government found itself in a bind after a court prohibited it from repurposing €60 billion ($65 billion) in unused funds left over from the Covid-19 pandemic. Among the sections of the budget whose fate has been left in limbo are Berlin’s plans to double military aid to Ukraine to €8 billion next year.
Der Tagesspiegel quoted fiscal policymaker Ingo Gaedechens from the opposition Christian Democratic Union as warning that there are “currently no certainties.”
“Should the Ukraine aid also be boiled down as part of general retrenchment, that would have catastrophic consequences,” he predicted.
The lawmaker explained that unless there was an increase in allocations for Ukraine military aid now, “in the coming year Germany would neither be able to send further aid to Ukraine, nor proceed with the necessary replacement of delivered weapons systems.”
On top of that, Berlin will likely not be able to tap its own stocks to provide Kiev with tanks any longer, the paper noted.
In an interview to Fox News aired on Tuesday, Ukrainian President Zelensky observed that the underwhelming summer counteroffensive, which has failed to secure any major territorial gains for Kiev, “is not a good message” when it comes to Western countries’ readiness to keep on supporting his nation.
Earlier this month, Ukraine’s top army commander, Valery Zaluzhny, described the battlefield situation as “a stalemate,” an assessment that Zelensky has rejected.

Ukrainian assassination attempt foiled – Moscow.
A saboteur trained by Kiev's security services intended to plant a bomb in the city of Voronezh, Russia’s FSB has said.
Russian law enforcement agents have arrested a Ukrainian saboteur allegedly about to stage an assassination attempt on a senior military officer in the western part of the country, the Federal Security Service (FSB) has announced.
In a statement on Thursday, the agency said that it had prevented illegal activities by a 28-year-old Ukrainian citizen involved in laying the groundwork for a “subversive-terrorist” act in Voronezh, a city some 250km from the Ukrainian border. His target was said to be an unnamed high-ranking member of the Russian Armed Forces.
The FSB said that the would-be assassin was recruited by Kiev’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) in September 2022 in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region bordering Russia and underwent spy and sabotage training. He then was sent to Russia, where he was ordered to stage a terrorist attack by using an explosive device, officials claimed.
According to the agency, during the raid operatives seized a homemade bomb containing shrapnel, several detonators, and a fake Russian passport presumably meant to allow the suspect to flee the country after the attack.
The FSB also released a video showing the suspect riding a bicycle on a snowy night while carrying a large thermal backpack such as are used by delivery services workers to carry food. After he approaches a bench, four operatives are seen rapidly zeroing in on him, taking him to the ground, and later escorting him to a car.

The clip also contains the suspect’s confession in which he says that the would-be assassination was meant to be “revenge” and also sought to instill fear in other members of the Russian military and civilians. He added that he was arrested while en route to the location where he intended to plant the bomb.
In recent months, Russia’s security services have on numerous occasions arrested Ukrainian agents tasked with targeting prominent public figures. Last month, the FSB said it detained a Russian citizen working for Kiev who organized an attack in Crimea that seriously injured Oleg Tsarev, a former Ukrainian lawmaker living in Russia.

NATO bracing for ‘high-intensity conflict’ with Russia – Czech president.
Moscow’s future combat capabilities will depend on the outcome of the conflict with Ukraine, Petr Pavel has predicted.
NATO regards Russia as its biggest threat in Europe and is preparing for a major conflict, Czech President Petr Pavel said on Wednesday, reiterating that Central European nations would continue to stand by Kiev in its fight with Moscow.
Speaking at a summit of the Visegrad Group, an informal political club which includes the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, Pavel noted that he did not have the impression that his counterparts had a opposing views on the Ukraine conflict.
“We’ve all agreed that it is in our imminent interest that Ukraine succeed,” he said, describing the assistance to Kiev as a “naturally human step.”
Asked about a potential threat to the US-led military bloc from Russia, Pavel suggested that it would take years for Moscow to restore its combat capabilities, but urged caution. “On the other hand, there are many variables in the calculation that could change the situation. It will really depend on the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine,” Pavel said.
“All armies are preparing for the possibility of a high-intensity conflict,” he added.
While the Czech Republic and Poland have been staunch supporters of Ukraine, Hungary has consistently refused to send arms to Kiev while criticizing the EU’s policy, claiming that it only harms the bloc.
Hungarian President Katalin Novakova said that while Budapest was ready to provide Kiev with “maximum help” so that it could protect its people, she insisted that the issue of Ukraine’s accession to the EU be directly linked to its ability to guarantee the rights of the Hungarian minority in the country.
Meanwhile, the Slovak government has also refused to supply Ukraine with military aid after its newly-elected Prime Minister Robert Fico delivered on his campaign promise “not a single round” to Ukraine. However, Slovakia has not curtailed humanitarian assistance.
Russia has on numerous occasions said it had no plans to attack NATO. Moscow, however, has traditionally regarded the bloc’s creeping expansion towards its borders as a critical geopolitical threat. Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov has described the alliance as a “tool of confrontation” created to contain first the Soviet Union, and then Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has sounded the alarm about Ukraine’s potential accession to NATO, citing this possibly as one of the key reasons for the start of the conflict back in February 2022.

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.
