“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.

A passenger car in Kursk Region was hit by an explosive dropped by a UAV.
An adult and two children were killed on Wednesday when a Ukrainian drone dropped an explosive on their car in Kursk Region, Governor Roman Starovoyt has said.
The attack took place in the village of Apanasovka, near the Russia-Ukraine border.
“I express my deepest condolences to the relatives and friends of the deceased, and share this immense grief with them,” the governor added.
Villages and towns in the border region were subject to the latest Ukrainian drone and artillery attack on Wednesday.
The area under bombardment was the site of last month’s failed attempt by Ukrainian-backed mercenaries to invade Russian territory.

Pentagon warns US could miss Ukraine ‘pay off’
Kiev urgently needs more aid to “prevent Russian success,” US military officials have claimed
Washington must double down on funding Kiev’s war effort against Moscow, to ensure that billions of dollars in previous “investments” do not go to waste, the assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs, Celeste Wallander, has claimed.
The US has provided Ukraine with over $113 billion in various forms of assistance since the start of hostilities in February 2022, including more than $62 billion in military aid funneled through the Pentagon. However, more funds are urgently needed to protect this investment, Wallander told the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday.
“What we need right now to prevent Russian success and Ukrainian defeat is passage of the supplemental,” she said, urging Congress to approve President Joe Biden’s aid package which would earmark another $60 billion for Kiev.
None of that work that we’ve done for two years in investing in Ukraine’s future will pay off, unless we get them through the next few months.
President Biden has been urging lawmakers for months to approve his new aid package, but many Republicans have opposed the measure, demanding more efforts to strengthen US border security, while seeking more accountability for the aid already transferred to Kiev – demanding concrete answers on what the United States’ end goal in Ukraine is.

Ukraine has also received at least $190 billion in military and financial aid from EU institutions and individual members, as well as other donor states, according to Kiel Institute data.
Washington is working with the EU and other NATO partners to get to a longer-term solution “that is well underway,” Wallander claimed. However, Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) General Christopher Cavoli argued at the hearing that new US aid is “critical at this moment,” until Ukraine's other sponsors boost their production of crucial items including artillery shells.
Without a new cash injection from Washington, Kiev will “lose the war,” Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky admitted this week. Meanwhile US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin pitched the aid as a way to provide jobs for American workers in the military industry, arguing that more than $50 billion in the “national security supplemental” funding would end up spread across at least 30 American states.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned last month that the Ukrainian military was running out of guns and ammunition, rather than cash, calling on bloc members to mobilize their reserves and provide Ukraine with everything that it needs to continue the fight.
The Kremlin has repeatedly warned that the ever-growing involvement of Western countries in the Ukraine conflict could result in an all-out confrontation between NATO and Russia. Moscow also insists that weapons deliveries will not change the outcome of the conflict but merely prolong them. At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed claims that Russia won’t stop after reaching its goals in Ukraine and could attack NATO next as “utter nonsense” designed to “beat the money out” of the populations of Western countries.

The promised Iranian retaliation for the Israeli attack on Tehran’s consulate in Damascus is likely in the next 24-48 hours, anonymous US officials told Bloomberg on Wednesday.
Two generals of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force were killed in the Israeli airstrike on April 1, which for the first time targeted an internationally protected diplomatic mission.
There has been a widespread expectation that Iran would refrain from reprisal until the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Speaking on Wednesday, as Muslims celebrated the feast of Eid-al-Fitr, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Israel “must and shall be punished” for what it did.
“Major missile or drone strikes” are now imminent, Bloomberg reported citing “people familiar with” the Israeli, US and allied intelligence reports. They will likely be carried out by either Iran directly, or its allies such as the Lebanon-based Hezbollah, the anonymous sources said.
The US is helping Israel with planning and sharing intelligence assessments, the sources said. West Jerusalem is reportedly waiting for the Iranian attack before it launches a ground offensive against the city of Rafah, in Gaza.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that West Jerusalem would respond in kind if the attack on Israel comes from Iranian territory. Several media outlets reported on Tuesday that Israel has been preparing to target Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The US has publicly promised Israel support against an Iranian attack, including helping shoot down the incoming missiles. Washington has reportedly also floated the idea of taking part in any Israeli counter-strikes.
“We do not rule out launching joint retaliatory strikes with Israel if it is attacked by Iran or its agents,” an unnamed US official told Al Jazeera Arabic.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have canceled all leave and began spoofing GPS signals, in preparation for a possible Iranian reprisal. Rumors of the impending Iranian strike also drove up the price of oil on futures markets, with Brent crude trading above $90 a barrel.

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.

WILL YOU DIE FOR UKRAINE?
According to Zelensky we should give our all for the sake of Ukraine, that nothing is more important, not your nation's economic future or even your life. Are you ready for the ultimate sacrifice?
If you listen to Volodomyr Zelensky speak you will soon realise that Ukraine is the most important nation that ever was and that the entire world should therefore come running to preserve this beacon of righteousness and democracy. Indeed you should be willing to die for him and his invaluable nation.
The global supply of weapons, including those that NATO nations have, Zelensky believes they should immediately put at his disposal, All national budgets should have Ukraine as the foremost beneficiary. And, if Ukraine finds it is running out of manpower to pour into the Russian meatgrinder machine then all other nations must provide their sons and daughters as a matter of course to fight for holy Ukraine.
So, are you ready? Ready to die for Ukraine? It’s only a matter of time before Zelensky calls on you to offer yourself up to die in eastern Ukraine. You may get two weeks training first, it’s possible. Then again you can choose simply to fling yourself at the Russian lines without any. It won’t matter much to Zelensky. It seems we’ve all got to offer everything, including our lives for his sake and that of his exceptional nation.
Zelensky has another way of bringing about our annihilation however. This involves a two pronged attack. The first is to send missiles into the town squares and high rise apartment blocks of Russian cities just across the border, killing as many men, women and children as possible. This in the hope that he can make Russia react in response to a degree that will draw NATO into the fight, at which point we arrive at WWIII and things go nuclear. The second gambit that could end in us all dying for Ukraine, at least across Europe, is to hit the largest nuclear power plant in Europe that Russia liberated from the Ukrainian regime last year. It has been hit by an increasing number of Ukrainian drones only this week.
These are the acts of a desperate man, a delusional man also (as Time magazine reported recently). There was a similar desperate and delusional man who used similar methods in WWII. You may recall the catastrophic effects he had and the number of deaths he was willing to countenance, an almost unlimited number if you recall. The ego of that man was equally unlimited. Everything was expected to defend him and his own nation. But ultimately both were destroyed. This is exactly what is happening to Zelensky and his own country now. Every last Ukrainian may die and he would no doubt STILL be calling for more of everything from everyone.
How much more of everything are western politicians willing to pour into the money pit that is Ukraine. How much more of American and European taxpayer’s money? How many more billions? And it seems, if France and Britain get their way, how many lives also are to be thrown into a similar pit? An infinite number? This appears to be the number Zelensky is contemplating. An infinite number of everything, including lives. All for arguably the most corrupt, undemocratic and totalitarian nation the world has ever seen. How does the prospect of losing your particular nation’s economic future for the sake of Ukraine appeal to you. How about losing your life and indeed the lives of all those you know and love?
