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.

All Lost, Total Failure Achieved.
Articles by Russia Today (RT) - 20th November 2023:
Top Zelensky aide questions Ukraine’s ‘survival’.
Mikhail Podoliak doubts his country has any future without a total victory over Russia.
A senior aide to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky claimed in an interview with Ukraine’s Channel 24 television station on Friday that Kiev must seize all territories lost to Russia, including the Crimean Peninsula, or risk disappearing from the world’s map.
The aide, Mikhail Podoliak, opined that failure to push back Russian troops from the territory Kiev claims as its own could become a breaking point for the country. “Do we have an endgame in which we do not enter Crimea and which would clearly indicate that Ukraine has a historical perspective?” he asked.
According to Podoliak, the same concerns apply to the four other regions – the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions – that overwhelmingly voted to join Russia last autumn. “Do we have even a single chance to survive in historical terms for another ten to 15 years?” the official added.
Podoliak also believes that Russia’s victory would be a significant setback for the West as it would “not be able to claim global leadership” while its “autocratic” rivals would have free reign to attack other territories. He also admitted that “the war is unpopular” in Ukraine but rejected any peace engagement with Russia, insisting that Moscow wants to “subjugate” Kiev.
Russian officials have repeatedly said they have never closed the door to talks with their Ukrainian counterparts.
Podoliak also attempted to justify unfulfilled predictions that Ukraine would seize Crimea during the past summer, noting that this assessment was based on an analysis of how many arms Kiev would receive from its Western backers and the impact of sanctions on Russia. According to the official, however, many Western companies remained in the Russian market, allowing the country’s government to receive “high taxes” and use this money to fund its military campaign.
Ukraine’s eventual takeover of Crimea was predicted twice this year by Ukrainian intelligence chief Kirill Budanov – first in the spring and later in the summer amid Kiev’s counteroffensive. Moscow has warned it would use “any weapon” in response to a potential Ukrainian attack on the peninsula.
Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said last month that Kiev “is losing” while being unable to make any substantial progress on the battlefield. He also estimated Kiev’s losses at more than 90,000 service members since the start of the counteroffensive in early June.

MP proposes Russian citizenship for Ukrainian defectors.
A lawmaker says Kiev's soldiers should be ‘incentivized’ to switch to Moscow’s side.
Ukrainian soldiers who defect to Moscow’s side should receive Russian citizenship along with social benefits, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma's Defense Committee, Aleksey Zhuravlev, has said.
The proposal follows reports that a Ukrainian military pilot had defected to Russia, allegedly an active-duty serviceman who held the rank of “senior officer” in Kiev’s armed forces.
In an interview with NEWS.RU published on Saturday, Zhuravlev said that if Ukrainians express a desire to fight on Russia's side, “they must receive citizenship immediately.” He argued that they should also be “incentivized” to do so.
According to the lawmaker, “deserters are those who are fighting against Russia, who have fled their historical motherland.” Personnel who defect to Moscow should “realize that they have returned to their motherland.”
Zhuravlev, a member of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) faction in the lower house of parliament, added that special services should work on an “individual basis” with all Ukrainians who switch sides, to identify war criminals among them.
The developments follow apparent failures in the Ukrainian offensive that began in early June. Kiev's troops have been unable to make significant changes on the frontlines, while suffering heavy losses in manpower and equipment.
In October, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Ukraine had lost more than 90,000 military personnel, over 500 tanks, and nearly 1,900 armored vehicles during the counteroffensive.
On Friday, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's top aide, Mikhail Podoliak, said the campaign was “not proceeding to the extent or at the speed we would like,” and criticized the slow delivery of weapons from Western backers.
In early November, Ukraine’s top military commander, General Valeriy Zaluzhny, said Kiev's forces were unlikely to make a “deep and beautiful breakthrough,” warning that an attritional trench war could “drag on for years” and wear down the Ukrainian state.

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.
