“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.

Cancelled US Joint Exercises in Africa Shows Washington's Influence Abroad Slipping.
Retired CIA intelligence officer and State Department official Larry Johnson told Sputnik the move may be related to internal pressure not to work alongside “troops associated with coup governments."
The United States military leadership has scrapped plans to hold joint exercises with several African states such as Sudan, Mali, Niger, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Burkina Faso.
According to the Washington Post, the Pentagon’s change of plans was, “at least in part,” the result of US Democrats pressuring the Biden administration to bar “troops associated with coup governments” from participating in US-led military exercises.
Exercises such as these are usually planned many months in advance, so the decision to scrap these plans means “there's an issue with the governments that were supposed to participate,” said retired CIA intelligence officer and State Department official Larry Johnson.
Describing the military exercises’ cancellation as a “significant” development, Johnson told Sputnik that this move by the Pentagon may have also been prompted by the decision of the host African governments not to participate.
“In any event, I think what it does signify is that US influence over other countries, its ability to basically tell countries what to do and compel countries to follow US policy, is slipping, that the US influence in areas like Africa is growing weaker, not stronger,” he remarked.
Johnson also suggested that the decision by Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso to withdraw from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) may be related to this development, considering that ECOWAS is primarily regarded as an entity “under Western influence.”
According to him, the fact that these countries chose to part ways with ECOWAS and pursue “bilateral agreements among themselves” does seem like signs of them “distancing themselves from US control.”

Debt could destroy US economy – JP Morgan boss.
Jamie Dimon calls for the snowballing US debt burden to be addressed before it turns into crisis.
The US economy is heading towards disaster as the vast national debt continues to mount, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in an interview with Fox News earlier this week.
According to the chief executive of the nation’s largest bank, the situation urgently needs to be tackled by the government before it causes a major economic crisis.
“It is a cliff, we see the cliff,” Dimon said. “It’s about 10 years out, we’re going 60 miles an hour [toward it].”
The top executive agreed with the view of former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has called the snowballing debt “the most predictable crisis we’ve ever had.” The warnings were issued by Ryan and Dimon during a panel discussion at the Bipartisan Policy Center on Friday.
US government federal debt topped $34 trillion for the first time in history at the end of December. It now amounts to about $102,000 for an average American family of three. In 2023 alone, it grew by more than $4 trillion.
US total public debt is roughly equivalent to the economies of China, Germany, Japan, India, and the UK combined, as pointed out by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, a nonpartisan fiscal policy group in New York.

Earlier this week, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the absolute level of US public debt looks like “a scary number.”
“So far, that [the public debt] has been quite manageable,” she said, calling for steps “to make sure that our deficits come down and remain at manageable levels.”
The huge amount is comprised of what the federal government owes to creditors, including individuals, such as citizens and foreign investors, as well as states or large funds. Washington continues to borrow money to cover a budget deficit that has been running for more than 20 years.

Ukrainians fueling increase in Poland’s crime rate – media.
More than 17,000 legal violations were committed by foreign nationals in the country in 2023, according to police data.
The influx of Ukrainian refugees to Poland since the start of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev has had a negative impact on crime in the country, the Rzeczpospolita newspaper has reported, citing data it received from the police.
A total of 17,278 violations of the law were committed by foreigners in Poland last year, 2,400 more than in 2022, the paper said in an article entitled “The Dark Side of Migration,” published last week. In 2013, the figure stood at just 3,500, the outlet noted.
Ukrainians were responsible for more than a half of the crimes, followed by citizens of Georgia and Belarus, police data suggested, according to the paper.
One in three violations was related to alcohol abuse and drunk driving. There were 4,898 such cases last year, with Ukrainian citizens reportedly involved in 70% of them. Driving while intoxicated is becoming a “growing problem” in Poland, with the high level of alcohol detected in blood samples from the perpetrators “surprising” even experienced police officers, the paper wrote.

Many migrants also fail to observe court-ordered bans over drunk driving. In 2023, 871 foreigners, 518 of them Ukrainians, were charged with driving while banned, which is punishable by up to three years behind bars. According to police figures, there were only 400 such incidents in 2022.
Some foreign nationals feel impunity as they are not citizens of the country, traffic expert Wojciech Apiary told Rzeczpospolita.
”There are 2.5 million Ukrainian citizens in Poland, so this phenomenon has to be related to this” fact, Miroslaw Skorka from the Association of Ukrainians in Poland said. The Ukrainians might be “drinking more” and getting behind the wheel due to “cultural” reasons, he suggested.
According to police data, the number of thefts and drug-related crimes by foreigners also went up in Poland last year, reaching 3,240 and 2,451 respectively. In 208 cases, perpetrators were caught with “significant amounts” of narcotics on them.

”We have more and more foreigners. In their own countries, they’re often afraid to break the law, but in Poland they believe themselves to be guests, to whom more is allowed,” Professor of Criminology Brunon Holyst said, calling for social campaigns to explain the consequences of violating the law.

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.

UKRAINE IS DEAD IN THE WATER
With three U.S. servicemen dead and another twenty five injured in a Middle Eastern military base the executive branch of the USA is looking at more reasons it needs to conserve its already overstretched financial resources and munitions for yet another military campaign. This time against Iran who it blames for supporting the militants who mounted the rocket attack upon the base.
Providing Israel with ever more financial and military support into a future, long-term conflict with Hamas and Hezbollah was already putting a strain on things. Then there’s the need to add to and replace the ultra-expensive missiles being fired at Houthi installations in Yemen. Adding a war with Iran will leave how much for Ukraine? That is even if Congress agrees some deal whereby a reduced amount is sent, and this is looking increasingly unlikely.
Now Biden must contend with the semi-insurrection occurring in Texas, supported by twenty five other states. Truly he doesn’t have his problems to seek. With a national debt of thirty four trillion and counting with interest of a trillion per year to pay and Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan saying it could destroy the U.S. economy Biden has less and less wriggle room.
“It is a cliff, we see the cliff,” Dimon said. “It’s about 10 years out, we’re going 60 miles an hour [toward it].”
In Europe Slovakia has joined Hungary in rejecting the EU policy of supporting Ukraine with military aid, stating their opposition to this and advocating only humanitarian aid be sent and that negotiations should start to end the conflict instead. Germany, now deep in recession and suffering deindustrialsation is no longer the industrial powerhouse it once was. It’s parliament just recently resoundingly defeated a bill giving the green light to sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
France will send some forty glide bomb missiles per month, less than the amount Russia deploys in forty eight hours or so. Other than this the armament and munitions stocks of all NATO nations are extremely low. While all this continues to get worse by the day European populations are beginning to feel the pinch and Ukrainians are not quite the welcome guests they once were. All the idealism is draining away in respect of supporting the Ukrainian regime and its beggar-in-chief, Zelensky.
On the battlefield Russia is now grinding at the Ukrainian defence lines, arms dumps, mercenary barracks and much more. Pummeling them all with drone drops, glide bombs and artillery shells. Casualty rates among the Ukrainians is currently running at an all time high of between 1,000 to 1,200 dead and wounded per day. Russia is outmaneuvering static Ukrainian positions, liberating villages and causing Kiev’s troops to surrender, withdraw or run for their lives.
In Kiev the power-mongers in the upper echelons of influence are engaged in an internecine struggle to wrest power from each other, sometimes with fatal consequences. One such person had his wife poisoned. Another died having been given a live grenade as a birthday present. Corruption is rife. In recent days a scandal has broken out concerning graft in the arms-procurement section of the military. Zelensky and his military commander despise each other with no compromise position emerging from either.
‘Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.’
William Butler Yeats
Zelensky refuses to face reality and negotiate land, demilitarisation, denazification and no-to-NATO for peace. Biden daren’t countenance a defeat to Russia in this election year. The present reality of incremental Russian gains, ever more Ukrainian deaths, better and more weapons from Russia’s military industrial complex going into ever higher gear, 1,200 new volunteer recruits to the Russian army per day and absolutely no end in sight to Russian dominance across the spectrum.
So where does this leave the Ukrainian regime and its increasingly poorly maintained and untrained army? Currently it requires billions per month just to cover governmental expenses. Then there is the desperate need for more ammunition when the collective west is fast running out.
Where does all this leave Ukraine you ask?
Up shit creek without a paddle.
Dead in the water in fact.
