“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.

ICC a ‘Western hybrid war’ tool – Moscow.
The Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for top Russian officials, Sergey Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov.
A general view of the International Criminal Court (ICC) building in The Hague, Netherlands.
Moscow has denounced the Hague-based International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for two top Russian defense officials, branding the institution a mere tool of the West's “hybrid war” efforts.
The ICC on Tuesday issued arrest warrants for ex-Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and the current chief of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, accusing the two of committing “alleged international crimes” during the Ukrainian conflict.
Russia’s Security Council has denounced as “void” the court’s move, pointing out that its jurisdiction does not extend to Russia.
“The decision of the Pre-Trial Chamber of the ICC against the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergei Shoigu is void. This is just hot air, since the jurisdiction of the ICC does not extend to Russia, and [the decision] was made as part of the West’s hybrid war against our country,” the council said.

The two top military officials are accused by the ICC of committing “international crimes,” namely “directing attacks at civilian objects,” as well as “causing excessive incidental harm to civilians.” The charges stem from Russia’s campaign of strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, which Moscow regards as dual-purpose strategic installations rather than purely civilian facilities.
Earlier this year, the ICC also targeted two top Russian military commanders, Lieutenant-General Sergey Kobylash of the Long-Range Aviation fleet and Admiral Viktor Sokolov of the Black Sea fleet. The charges against the commanders was also a result of air strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure.
The Hague-based institution has taken multiple steps against Russia amid the Ukraine conflict, most notably by issuing an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin last spring. The president is accused of “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children to Russia.
Moscow, like many other countries, including the US, does not recognize the authority of the ICC and its actions hold no legal power in Russia.

Military leaders in Kiev gave the order to fire the Patriot in the January attack, Moscow claims.
Senior military officials in Kiev were responsible for shooting down a Russian transport plane that was carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war for an exchange earlier this year, Russia’s Investigative Committee said on Tuesday.
The Ilyushin Il-76M aircraft was downed by a US-made Patriot interceptor missile on January 24, according to Russian investigators. All those on board, including 65 POWs, three Russian guards, and six crew members, were killed in the crash.
The committee said it had collected enough evidence to accuse Ukrainian military commanders and the leadership of the country’s military intelligence directorate, the GUR. They “knew for certain” that a prisoner swap was due to happen and “ordered the destruction of the plane” nevertheless, officials claimed.
Russian investigators have collected over 110 fragments from two MIM-104 Patriot missiles at the crash site, including from the body of one of the victims, the statement said. Records from onboard cameras show one of the projectiles detonating next to the plane’s cockpit, while the second one reportedly missed its target and self-destructed.
Russian radar data identified a specific location in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region from which the missiles were fired by a single launcher, the statement said. Efforts are ongoing to establish the individuals responsible for “the organization of this terrorist attack,” it added.
The committee released a video showing its work at the crash site and later during a forensic analysis of the recovered fragments. One clip showed lasers beaming in front of the wrecked cockpit, as investigators determined the angle at which shrapnel from the alleged American-made missile had penetrated it.
Ukrainian officials have boasted of using Patriot systems against multiple Russian military aircraft. Shortly after the tragedy, the GUR claimed that the aircraft had not been given safe passage in the airspace near the front line.

Prisoner swaps between Russia and Ukraine continued after the incident. In the latest instance in late May, 75 Russian POWs were returned from Ukrainian captivity in exchange for an equal number of Kiev’s troops.
Days later, Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed that Moscow was holding 6,465 Ukrainian POWs, compared to 1,348 Russian military service members held by the other side.

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.

ILLEGITIMATE UKRAINIAN REGIMES HAVE BEEN COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY SINCE 2014
The western political and media elites have been supporting the war crimes, crimes against humanity and state terrorism perpetrated by successive Ukrainian regimes since 2014.
The blatantly terrorist attack on innocent civilian families on a Crimean beach on Sunday is only the latest in a litany of such attacks on civilians by the Kiev regime. It and its forces are criminal in nature and it is unsurprising that their thuggish behaviour has resulted in thousands of civilian lives being lost.
Starting in 2014 while the entire western world of political and media elites looked the other way, the Russian-speaking populations of Donetsk and Lugansk were hot day and night by mortar rounds and missile attacks. From 2014 to 2022 a death toll of some 15,000 individuals should have shamed the criminals who usurped power in Ukraine in 2014. A hate-fueled criminal regime that was supported in every possible way by the western powers and their complicit media.
Populations in the West were told the death toll but not those who were causing those deaths. The implication provided with the ever-mounting toll of death and destruction in such so-called news was always that Russia was to blame. But it was not Russia that had laid siege to these regions. It was the Ukrainian army and its intake of fascistic extreme ultranationalists who bombarded the civilian population with glee. The age or sex of the victims of these attacks did not concern these fiends, their aim was to create the fear necessary to drive all Russian-speaking individuals from Ukraine. Or kill them, each and every one of them. This is why Vladimir Putin raised the question of a potential genocide.
The crimes of the Kiev regime have gone “unnoticed” in the West. No matter the crime committed, war crimes, crimes against humanity, all were ignored and went unreported. The only item of news they were interested in was anything that could be spun to project negativity about Russia and its president. The blackest of propaganda methods have been used against both for over twenty years now. But the crimes of the Ukrainian regime go “unnoticed”.
When Amnesty International told the world that the Ukrainian military was locating weaponry close to civilian infrastructure the report was met with howls of abuse in the West. The truth was not welcome there. That the Ukrainian army was using schools, hospitals and civilian apartment blocks for military purposes this was denied. No mention of such criminal abuse of international law was allowed if any Ukrainian entity was involved. Only Russia could be attacked and was attacked by the entire panoply of western media outlets along with the political elites of the West. The level of misinformation and propaganda involved than had ever been seen, certainly since the end of WWII.
When the democratically-elected president and government of Ukraine was undermined by an insurrectionist and murderously violent coup in 2014 a precedent was set for all future violence that was to stem from it. The rule of law that had maintained order until the riots of Maidan was broken irrevocably. The sanction of European, UK and US governments of the illegal and unconstitutional president and government that then took office showed clearly how the West would use terrorism and support terrorists when it benefited them. These shameful realities are now thankfully being wiped away by Russia’s special military operation in order to bring peace and stability and adherence to the law back to Ukraine, and in time to the entire West.
