“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.

Pro-Ukraine images found on cellphones of Moscow terror attacks suspects – investigators.
New evidence suggests a possible link between the conflict and the Crocus City Hall massacre, officials have said.
Images extracted from the cell phones of the terrorists who killed more than 140 people at a concert hall outside Moscow point to a possible link to the ongoing Ukraine conflict, investigators said on Friday.
On March 22, four Tajik nationals opened fire inside the packed Crocus City Hall music venue and then set the building on fire. A total of 145 people were killed and more than 500 were injured in the attack.
The suspected assailants were detained the next day while trying to flee to Ukraine by car, according to the authorities. More suspects were arrested in the following days, most of them of Tajik origin.
The jihadist group Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) has claimed responsibility for the attack. The head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Aleksandr Bortnikov, however, suggested that the US, UK, and Ukraine may also be linked to the attack, possibly using Islamists as proxies. Ukraine and its Western backers have denied any involvement.

In an update on the case, Russia’s Investigative Committee (IC) said that images related to the Ukraine conflict were found on the cell phone of one of the terrorists. They include photos of Ukrainian soldiers and a photo of a man wrapped in the Ukrainian flag standing in front of a destroyed building. An image of a soldier standing on a tank and holding the Ukrainian flag contains the caption “The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
“This data may suggest a connection between the terrorist attack and the [Ukraine] special military operation,” IC spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said. She added that investigators are checking whether “Ukrainian security services and international Islamist terrorist groups” were involved in the planning and funding of the concert hall massacre.
Petrenko added that, on the morning of February 24, 2024, one of the suspects sent “his handler” photos of the entrances to the Crocus City Hall and of nearby roads. She noted that the date coincides with the start of Russia’s operation in Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022.
The IC previously said that it had found evidence of suspects receiving money and cryptocurrency from Ukraine.

Moscow terrorist attack recruiter apprehended – FSB
Three new suspects in the massacre have been arrested in Russia, according to the security services.
Three individuals suspected of having links with the terrorist attack at a Moscow concert hall last month have been taken into custody, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) reported on Thursday.
The arrests were made in Moscow, Ekaterinburg, and Omsk, according to a statement from the agency. Two of the suspects are foreigners while the third is a Russian citizen. All three originate from Central Asia, the FSB added.
One of those arrested was allegedly directly involved in recruiting the four gunmen who carried out the assault at the Crocus City Hall just outside Moscow two weeks ago. He also handled the financing of the operation, the FSB claimed. The two other suspects made donations towards the purchase of firearms and the vehicle used by the terrorists, the security services added.
The FSB released footage of the three arrests, but did not show the faces of any of the suspects.
The four suspected gunmen were detained hours after the attack at the music venue in Krasnogorsk, which claimed over 140 lives. Russian law enforcement previously reported several other arrests related to the massacre.
Russian officials have said the perpetrators were radical Islamists, although the crime may have been organized by Ukrainian special services, who used them as proxies.
Kiev and its Western backers have rejected those allegations. Moscow claims to have evidence of a possible link, including money transfers originating from Ukrainian nationalists.

“Even now it is obvious that there are some Ukrainian footprints here. Especially since Ukraine’s involvement in other terrorist attacks on Russian soil is no longer in doubt,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday. He cited the assassinations of journalist Darya Dugina and blogger Vladlen Tatarsky as among the examples of Ukrainian terrorism.

Biden approves more bombs for Israel – media.
The US government has reportedly authorized sending thousands of additional munitions to West Jerusalem amid the war in Gaza.
The administration of US President Joe Biden has reportedly agreed to provide thousands of additional bombs to Israel, helping to replenish stockpiles that have been depleted by West Jerusalem’s six-month bombardment of Gaza.
The latest weapons transfer was authorized on Monday, CNN and the Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing unidentified US government officials. The package includes more than 1,000 MK-82 bombs, which weigh 500 pounds each, as well as over 1,000 small-diameter munitions and fuses for MK-80 bombs.
The weapons transfer was finalized hours after news broke that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed seven aid workers, including US and UK citizens, in a drone strike targeting a humanitarian aid convoy in the Palestinian enclave. Nearly 200 aid workers have reportedly been killed in Gaza and the West Bank since Israel’s war against Hamas began in October.

Although Biden has chided Israel for not doing enough to protect aid workers and other civilians in Gaza, his administration has refused to throttle back its support for the IDF or place conditions on weapons shipments. Over 33,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began, according to Gaza health authorities, and the UN has warned of a humanitarian “catastrophe” if the IDF goes through with its planned ground offensive at the southern end of the enclave.
“We believe that the approach that we’re taking is working in terms of making it clear to the Israelis what our expectations are,” White House National Security spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday. He added, “Right now, we are continuing to support Israel because they continue to need military assistance because they continue to face a viable threat.”
Josh Paul, a former US State Department official who resigned last October over military aid to Israel, told CNN that the latest weapons transfer could have been halted after Monday’s drone strike on aid workers. “State Department has the ability to suspend any approval even after the fact, which, given the circumstances, you’d think they’d at least consider,” he said.

Just last week, Washington reportedly approved a weapons shipment to Israel that includes thousands of MK-84 bombs, which weigh 2,000 pounds each. Like this week’s package, it didn’t require approval by Congress because it stemmed from a previously authorized arms sale. The Biden administration is reportedly pushing for legislative approval of a new $18 billion sale of F-15 fighter jets to Israel.

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.

THE LEADERSHIP OF THE COLLECTIVE WEST IS CAPABLE OF ANYTHING NOW
There can surely be no question about the state of our world currently. Aggression is peaking. We are living in a time of even greater danger than that experienced by humanity during the Cold War.
There has never been a more dangerous time for humanity. We stand on the threshold of an absolute nightmare. It is clear that the entity known as the collective west is now completely rogue and will have no compunction about striking out in flagrant violation of any and all existing laws. Whether those laws are founded in ethical conduct, moral conduct or founded in agreed international law. The elites who have taken power across the western world along with those who are either willingly in their camp or who feel they are unable to extricate themselves, will cover for any crime committed, justify it to their populations by obvious lies and go on to commit even more such crimes.
No one in the West should have any remaining faith in the probity of those who are running their nations in these times. It is a sickening thought to contemplate but the fact is that they are criminals who will stop at nothing to maintain every aspect of their power, including the use of nuclear weapons if they deem this to be necessary. These words may be read by many who are sceptical of such warnings as just so much more unwarranted alarm. Well, we will see. Look at what Israel is doing now, it is completely out of control and sees no reason why it should worry about breaking any law it cares to. This attitude will be seen to infect all those who are supporting it also, primarily the USA and UK with many across Europe doing so also.
What, you might ask, is the reason for this headlong drive to war? Why can’t these divisions between nations be lessened by attempts to establish understanding? Why has diplomacy vanished from our world? Wasn’t it the way we managed to get here in one piece? Don’t these leaders understand this basic principle of geopolitics, talk to your enemy. You can talk all you like to your friends and nothing changes. Talk to those you regard as your enemy if you truly seek peace. And there lies the problem, the western powers show no indication whatsoever that they want peace. They clearly want more and ever more war.
Russia has survived everything the western powers have thrown at it. Every attack upon Russian industry, financial institutions, economy and social structure has failed. They wanted to bring Russia to its knees via Ukraine and blocked every path to peace that Vladimir Putin sought to take, manipulating him into a position where he had only one way through and that was by mounting Russia’s special military operation. Even then, within a month Russia was attempting to find a way to stop the fighting through a negotiated settlement. This took place first in Belarus and then in Turkey. As one of the chief Ukrainian negotiators said, Russia’s primary goal was ensuring Ukraine did not join NATO but agreed to be a neutral buffer state instead. The western powers made sure that Ukraine would not agree to this and persuaded the regime in Kiev to keep fighting instead.
Almost 500,000 Ukrainian troops have died since those fateful moments when the western powers convinced the Ukrainian regime that it should keep fighting with their unlimited support. The aim of the West is to weaken Russia, to create widespread dismay among the Russian population with a view to instigating regime change, to then mobilise powerful enough to bring down all structures of authority in the country and replace them, just as they did in the various other countries they targeted. Just as they did in Ukraine’s capital Kiev in 2014. Once the change of power was achieved Russia was to be Balkanised, split up into numerous sectors, ensuring it would never dare oppose the United States and its allies ever again.
The people who are running states in support of the neocon majority who have had control of the levers of power since 9/11 are dedicated to the above result no matter the cost. And that cost would also be paid in human lives, perhaps millions of human lives. Their rabid dedication to undermining and breaking Russia apart is total and unwavering. Those behind this have left all doubt and reason behind them, they are zealots who will never bring themselves to think or act otherwise. They reinforce their insane ideas and plans constantly in a groupthink belief bubble where there are zero alternative options to all out war and the consequences be damned. This is why the collective west is capable of anything now.
