“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.

West sweating over Zelensky’s crashing popularity.
Ukrainian president’s approval rating now stands at 17% ahead of the formal expiration of his term, Moscow has claimed.
Kiev’s Western backers are seriously concerned by the rapidly decreasing public support for President Vladimir Zelensky, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has claimed.
Zelensky’s five-year term in office technically expires on Monday, though he is expected to keep his position. Kiev has refused to hold a new presidential election due to martial law.
The SVR claimed on Monday that opinion polls conducted in Ukraine by the US and its allies for their own internal use show a lack of trust in the incumbent leader and in some of the country’s key institutions.
“The level of support for Vladimir Zelensky has dropped to 17% and keeps decreasing. Over 70% of the public distrusts all Ukrainian media, while some 90% would like to leave the country,” the statement said. “Even among the troops, who are being subjected to constant ideological conditioning, Zelensky’s popularity stands below 20%.”
Western nations have urged the Zelensky government to ramp up propaganda efforts to create fear among Ukrainians that a Russian victory would result in a disaster for them, SVR said. The president, who is allegedly concerned for his life, also launched a purge in the military and security service to eliminate possible threats, the statement continued. Kiev’s recent claim, that a ‘plot’ by senior officials to assassinate Zelensky had been outed, was “obviously fictitious” and stemmed from the crackdown on dissent, it assessed.

Zelensky’s legal claim to his office is in dispute as of Tuesday. The Ukrainian Constitution forbids certain democratic processes under martial law, such as parliamentary elections or referendums on constitutional amendments, but does not spell out the same restriction for presidential elections.
Senior government officials have reasoned that organizing a national ballot under the circumstances would be unsafe for voters and prohibitively costly. Some international media have reported that in a hypothetical election, Zelensky’s popularity would make him the default choice of Ukrainians.
“Many people in Ukraine see no sense in holding elections, if the obvious victor already holds the presidency. Not a single Ukrainian politician today can compare with Zelensky in terms of the level of trust and support,” the Russian-language branch of British state broadcaster BBC declared on Sunday, in a thread on X (formerly Twitter).

Russian economic growth hits 5.4%
The economy expanded in the first quarter despite Western sanctions, according to the national statistics service.
Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 5.4% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2024, the state statistics agency Rosstat said in a preliminary report published on Friday.
According to the estimates, Russia saw robust growth in retail turnover (up 10.5%), manufacturing (up 8.8%) and construction (3.5%) in January-March.
The Rosstat data aligns with an earlier estimate from the Economics Ministry, but exceeds that of the Bank of Russia (4.6% growth) and analysts’ expectations (5.3%). The agency is due to publish more detailed data on GDP in mid-June.
According to an earlier forecast from the Bank of Russia, GDP growth is expected to slow in the second quarter due to tightening fiscal conditions. The regulator, however, expects consumer and investment demand to remain high and continue to drive economic growth.
The positive data comes despite multiple rounds of Western sanctions introduced since the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine in February 2022.
The measures have ranged from blacklisting most Russian banks and cutting them from the SWIFT interbank messaging system, to freezing some $300 billion in Russian foreign exchange reserves.
As a result, GDP suffered a downturn in 2022, contracting 1.2%. However, data for 2023 showed that the economy has recovered, posting growth of 3.6%. Many analysts have attributed this performance to Russia’s trade pivot to the East, and economic policies implemented to offset the effect of restrictions.
In April, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said it expects the Russian economy to grow faster than all advanced economies in 2024. GDP is forecast to expand by 3.2%, exceeding the expected growth rates for the US (2.7%), the UK (0.5%), Germany (0.2%) and France (0.7%).
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov earlier said he expects GDP growth in 2024 to equal that of last year, while the Bank of Russia has been more cautious in its predictions, expecting growth of 2.5-3.5%.

Assange secures big win in US extradition hearing: How it happened:
The UK High Court ruled that Washington’s assurances of a fair trial for the WikiLeaks founder were insufficient, allowing a full appeal.
The High Court in London has ruled that WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange has the right to appeal an extradition request by the US. Washington is seeking to put the Australian publisher on trial for espionage for disclosing alleged war crimes committed by the US in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What Monday’s hearing was about
The UK High Court considered Washington’s assurances that Assange would be given a fair trial if extradited to the US. The court had previously requested two sets of written guarantees from the US stating that the WikiLeaks founder would not be discriminated against due to his Australian citizenship, and would not be held in a maximum security prison or receive the death penalty.
If the court had ruled that these guarantees were adequate, Assange would likely have been extradited to the US in a matter of days.
US assurances
While the US had provided the assurances, it did so with a number of conditions. The American side promised not to immediately place Assange in a maximum security prison, but reserved the right to do so based on his conduct.
US prosecutors also stated that the WikiLeaks founder would be able to rely on the First Amendment right to free speech during the trial, but noted that its applicability would be “exclusively within the purview of the US courts.”
Public support and criticism of US guarantees
Assange’s supporters slammed Washington’s diplomatic assurances, with Amnesty International’s criminal justice expert Juli Hall calling them “inherently unreliable because the US government gives itself an out.”
The publisher’s wife, Stella Assange, had also described the US guarantees as “blatant weasel words.”
Ahead of Monday’s ruling, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the High Court in London calling for Assange’s immediate release.
Assange’s defense
During the hearing, Assange’s lawyer Edward Fitzgerald told the judges that the assurances of a fair trial given by US prosecutors could not be relied upon as American courts would not be bound by them.
“We say this is a blatantly inadequate assurance,” Fitzgerald told the court.
The verdict
In a short ruling, the two senior judges of London’s High Court stated that the assurances provided by the US were not sufficient, and gave Assange’s legal team the right to a full appeal hearing.
While the legal battle continues, Assange himself will remain in London’s top-security Belmarsh Prison, where he has been held for the past five years since his arrest in 2019 when his asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London was revoked.
Response to the ruling
The legal victory was immediately celebrated by Assange’s supporters, with Amnesty International’s Simon Crowther calling it a “rare piece of positive news for Julian Assange and all defenders of press freedom.”
Stella Assange applauded the court’s verdict, claiming it had made the “right decision.” She criticized the US for the ongoing persecution of her husband, and demanded that Washington “read the situation” and drop the case against him.
Former Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn also celebrated Monday’s verdict, but stressed that there was still a lot to be done to secure Assange’s freedom.

China offloads record amount of dollar assets – data
Beijing has sold $53.3 billion in US securities, according to Treasury Department data.
China sold a record number of US bonds in the first quarter of this year, highlighting the country’s shift away from dollar assets, the latest data from the US Treasury Department reveals.
Beijing has divested a total of $53.3 billion in Treasuries and agency bonds combined in the first three months of the year, while at the same time increasing its purchases of gold and other commodities, data showed.
Some analysts have suggested that this reduction in foreign exchange reserves could be part of China’s broader strategy to diversify away from US dollar-denominated assets amid rising geopolitical tensions with the US.
Some experts have pointed to the economic impact of Western sanctions on Russia following the Ukraine conflict, saying that China seeks to mitigate similar risks.
“The handling of Russian reserves by the US and other G7 countries, including threats of expropriations and sanctions, likely prompted China to reduce its exposure to US Treasury assets to avoid being similarly targeted,” Craig Shapiro, a macroeconomic adviser at LaDuc Trading, told Newsweek on Saturday, referring to the seizure of Russian assets.
The West has frozen roughly $300 billion in Russian sovereign funds since the start of the Ukraine conflict.
The Brussels-based clearinghouse Euroclear, often seen as a custodian of China’s holdings, disposed of $22 billion in US Treasuries during the reporting period, according to Bloomberg.
As the second largest foreign holder of US Treasury securities after Japan, China’s sell-off could potentially unsettle the Treasury market and raise US borrowing costs, some economists argued.
“As China is selling both despite the fact that we are closer to a Fed rate-cut cycle, there should be a clear intention of diversifying away from US dollar holdings,” said Stephen Chiu, chief Asia foreign-exchange and rates strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence. “China’s selling of US securities could speed up as the US-China trade war resumes” especially if Trump returns as president, he said.
While China is selling dollar assets, its holdings of gold have surged in the country’s official reserves. The share of the precious metal in reserves climbed to 4.9% in April, the highest since records began in 2015, according to the People’s Bank of China.

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.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR RUSSIA… AND HER ADVERSARIES?
Only those of fixed mindsets can avoid recognizing the trends regarding Russia now occurring. Russia has evaded all attempts to hold her down, weaken and destroy her and will now rise far beyond their reach.
Russia is not without problems going forward. She lacks manpower for the great many tasks ahead. This is why her president has been encouraging a higher birth rate among the Russian population for some time now. This will mean inviting a movement of labor and specialist personnel from areas outside the boundaries of the Russian Federation for some time to come. Fortunately the economic success that has been engendered despite all the barriers the western powers have set in its path, has been increasing and shows no sign of ending any time soon.
Vladimir Putin has sworn to bring the modernity of Russia’s great cities to the people who live in the outlying territories, the villages and towns across the vast landmass of Russia. This goal will take many years to accomplish and will require the dedication of the willpower to consistently supply the huge energies, massive funds and logistical expertise required. Fortunately again, Russia has expanded the number of close and powerful friends she has in recent years, once again despite the efforts of her adversaries to reduce them.
The military campaign in Ukraine could easily have brought disaster to Russia. The plans of the West were laid long before February 24th 2022 when Russian troops crossed the Ukrainian border. The powers there believed they knew Russia in all its aspects, social, financial, political, economic, military and all else. Was the data they held current? Or was it perhaps ossified in databases accumulated decades before which now provided far less than adequate prognoses of how to bring the Russian state to its knees? In any case Russia proved eminently resilient against virtually every attack by sanctions or financial restrictions against it.
With Russia winning in Ukraine, as we can easily see now is the case, what could easily have been a disaster for Russia will instead result in many benefits to her. The respect with which nations view Russia (whether admitted publicly or not by them) cannot help but be increased. We already see this outcome across several nations in Africa where both France and the USA are being asked to remove their presence in preference to Russia. In the Middle East too we have seen geopolitical changes that would previously have been deemed extremely unlikely if not entirely impossible. The case of Saudi Arabia ending its long term alliance with the West (primarily with the USA and UK) while drawing closer to Russia by joining the BRICS group.
BRICS sees ever more nations queuing up to be allowed membership. Iran is now a member along with Saudi Arabia. Who would have thought a few short years ago that these erstwhile enemies would potentially sit side by side at BRICS conferences? Around forty nations have expressed their interest in joining. Another founding member of BRICS, India has drawn ever closer to Russia and trade between the two is constantly increasing in volume. Nations are increasingly drawing closer to Russia seeking good relations and increasingly too rejecting western narratives and demands by the West to obey its commands. Does this sound like the isolation the western powers wanted for Russia?
Russia’s relationship with China is now arguably the strongest it has ever been. Trade between the two is booming and the protection they can give each other now in relation to both the conflict in Ukraine and the hotspot of Taiwan is iron-clad. A long-planned pipeline, ‘The Power of Siberia Two’ to carry natural gas from Russia’s Western Siberia Altai region to North-Eastern China is now being constructed, This will further enhance and deepen a relationship that once again, the western alliance has tried recently to disrupt but which it has actually assisted in deepening over these past few years where its aggression against both has been all too obvious.
Russia then, as we have seen, is gathering friends while the western nations who tried to bring her down, remove her president and cut her into pieces, have been losing them. Deep in a fast rising debt crisis the United States sees its infrastructure crumble amid increasing social turmoil, drug deaths and rising crime while at the same time pouring hundreds of billions into a failing plan to defeat Russia. Its allies too are suffering through joining this quest. Germany is de-industrializing, Britain is locked into a vicious cycle of economic decline and the boomerang effect of the loss of inexpensive Russian energy is hitting everyone hard. Prices have risen for all western nations creating massive discontent in nations used to constantly positive economic indicators. This is bound to bring enormous political changes in due course.
In the USA there is a rising tide of opposition to the profligate spending of North America’s dwindling resource base, both in terms of money and military assets. Throwing billions into the Ukrainian money pit is becoming a central issue as the emotionally potent, phony idealism button of Ukraine no longer has the same power to motivate such reckless generosity. The facts concerning the illegitimacy of the Ukrainian regime, its non-democratic behavior, its neo-Nazi links and its constant lies are gaining ever greater traction in the USA as in Europe. The recent election of Robert Fico’s party to power in Slovakia is evidence of this as is the long term resistance of Hungary under Viktor Orban. Both refuse to support the fueling of endless war in Ukraine with the supply of weapons and munitions.
Russia, as discussed above, is making new friends and allies as well as discovering more trading partners interested in dealing with her. To a great extent Russia no longer needs the economic links she previously had with the West. And, within Russia the niche fields of commerce that western companies vacated at the insistence of western political elites have, in the great majority of cases, been successfully filled by Russian entrepreneurs and enterprises. The profits from these establishments now stay in Russia and no longer exit the country to bolster her enemies. Once again the western nations shot themselves in a foot now presumably resembling a rather raggedly-looking Swiss cheese.
Things could hardly have gone better for Russia. Free of the western NGO’s that acted as a constantly subversive force, the agents of western intelligence agencies, Russia now has a much cleaner sheet where the small proportion of west-seeking liberals within Russia can be ever more effectively marginalized. This process will further enhance the determination of Russia to remain a country fully dedicated to its traditions and no longer subject to the vagaries of a woke culture that is currently poisoning traditional ways of life in the West. Each trend within Russia, almost without exception, is now working to enhance Russia’s prospects for the future just as the trends concerning her relations with those around her in Eurasia, Asia, the Middle and Far East are likewise trending positively.
Russia will achieve all the goals she set herself in Ukraine. One way or another the danger to Russia from Ukraine and its western sponsors will be neutralized, and in effect, quarantined. Russia will demand and get a new security architecture in Europe that includes herself. The remnants of Ukraine will, as protectorates, be seen to have a new, pro-peace president and government and, slowly but surely cultural relations and exchange, political interchange and trade between Russia and rump Ukraine will recommence. The new regions of the Russian Federation that we now know as the Donbass will be given every assistance in infrastructure renewal and job opportunities as well as the rise of all standards to Russian Federation levels in terms of pay, healthcare, pensions and all aspects of Russian employment benefits, conditions and the Russian social care network.
Russia has all to play for as she approaches an open door to friendships across the most populous, prosperous, incentivized and energy-powerful nations of the world. As the disgruntled West licks its wounds and suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (brought upon it by its own hand) Russia will prosper and the prosperity seen, as with China increasingly, will be impossible to conceal, celebrated as it is sure to be worldwide. One of the most important of all Russia’s successes, in 2025 we will see the resurrection of what used to be a generally recognised and accepted fact of a debt the world owes to Russia, that of the defeat of the Nazis in World War II, the Great Patriotic War. By defeating the Nazi resurrectionists in Ukraine it will be seen that Russia has won yet one more world war for all humanity.
The western states who instigated the disaster of the last few years in Ukraine will be shamed, their political leadership replaced and will find their power and influence significantly diminished. Ever more nations will abandon their ties to the West in favor of far more trustworthy allies close by. The economic state of western nations will give rise to even greater levels of social and political chaos where seemingly intractable problems beleaguer every attempt to solve them. Russia, having fully reclaimed her place among the great powers and now assured of national security in perpetuity, will move determinedly along with her allies toward the world of peace and international agreement multipolarity then offers us all.
The malignant era of western domination, of threat, subversion using overt and covert manipulation and the ever-present insistence on worldwide interference and potential for military attack… will be over for good. Russia, that stood at first virtually alone in opposing the criminal nature of the USA and its proxies, will stand totally vindicated in all aspects of her struggle. Vladimir Putin, of course, will be lionized globally outside the West for his incredible achievement, and for all time.
