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.

Switching From Ukraine to Israel.
Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 17th October 2023:
Ukraine can’t wage war without American money – Washington.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has claimed that direct economic aid from the US enables Kiev’s forces to fight.
Ukraine’s armed forces depend on US economic assistance to fight Russia effectively, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claimed in an interview with Sky News on Monday.
To date, Washington has already approved at least $113 billion in aid to Kiev, including over $40 billion in military assistance, according to recent calculations from the US State Department Office of Inspector General.
“I’ve been to Ukraine and I can tell you that the direct economic aid that we are providing to them is what enables them to fight this war. It keeps hospitals open, it keeps schools open and supports first responders,” Yellen told the outlet.
Earlier this month, in an interview with the Washington Post, Ukrainian defense ministry official Gennady Kovalenko also admitted that Ukraine “depends one hundred percent on the United states,” and that US aid was essential.
However, the scope of future US aid to Ukraine has recently become uncertain as a growing number of Republican lawmakers have declared their opposition to sending US taxpayer's dollars to fund Kiev’s operations. Last month, Republican senators even threatened a government shutdown unless a $24 billion tranche that had been requested for Ukraine by President Joe Biden was removed from a government spending bill.
US National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby also stressed last week that US aid for Kiev is not “indefinite” and suggested that the Washington was running out of money for Ukraine unless Congress approved additional funding. “On the Ukraine funding, we’re coming near to the end of the rope,” he told reporters.
In her interview with Sky News, Yellen insisted that Washington’s financial capacity was nevertheless sufficient to afford backing both Ukraine in its fight against Russia as well as Israel in its escalating conflict with Hamas.
She warned, however, that the potential economic ramifications of a larger conflict in the Middle East remain unknown, particularly amid an already volatile global oil and natural gas market that has contributed to a cost-of-living crisis in several Western economies in the past year.

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.

STATEMENT BY OLENA BONDARENKO, DEPUTY IN VERKHOVNA RADA PARLIAMENT OF UKRAINE.
My friends, here is my statement!
Please maximize distribution. If anyone has the opportunity to translate it into other languages and spread it - please do !!!
"I, Olena Bondarenko, People's Deputy of the Party of Regions, which is in opposition to the current government in Ukraine would like to state that those power are lowered to direct threats of physical elimination of opposition politicians in Ukraine, to the deprivation of their right to freedom of expression of the opposition in parliament and beyond, as well as to their complicity in crimes against not only opposition politicians, but also their children.
There is a constant threat and an unofficial ban on the presence of the opposition on the airwaves of most Ukrainian channels, this is a deliberate persecution - it is an attribute of everyday life for an opposition deputy in Ukraine. Anyone who calls for peace in Ukraine is immediately called an enemy of the people, as it was, for example, in Germany, in the last century, or in the days of McCarthyism in the USA.
A few days ago, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov, who is a staunch supporter of the so-called "party of war" in Ukraine, said: "When Olena Bondarenko is on the parliamentary rostrum, my hand reaches for a gun."
I emphasize: this man said this with the authority of the state police chief. Exactly a week ago, Ukrainian Parliament Speaker Oleksandr Turchynov also deprived me of the right to speak from the parliamentary rostrum as a representative of the opposition, "The Party of Regions." I was banned only for what I said, that "the power that sends an army to bomb peaceful towns, is criminal." After that he repeated the call of the parliamentary radical opposition to shoot me.
Bearing in mind that at the end of last year, when Kiev was held hostage by extremists, my car was fired upon, and this fact was recorded by me in a police statement, I treat such threats addressed to me seriously.
Also, I inform all those who still do not know about the current government, that it shields the criminals who dare to raise their hand against the son of another opposition politician, Vladimir Oleinik. Ruslan Oleynik was performing his duties of district prosecutor when he was beaten in his workplace, resulting in his life and health being put under threat. Instead of investigating the attack on the prosecutor in the performance of his duties and the monstrous pressure on the opposition leader and his family, the power of the prosecutor was dismissed. From his colleagues every week I hear of the beating of their aides, about the searches in the offices of their supporters, threats and attacks on their lives, health and property.
The Ukrainian information space is almost entirely cleansed of this information and ordinary Ukrainians are not even aware that the Ukraine junta is in a criminal struggle against the opposition and that the constitutional right to freedom of expression is suppressed in every possible way. In this way, by fear, those working honestly are attacked by nationalist groups and the organizers and participants of pogroms. Even when identified by video and photographic evidence they are not brought to justice.
I encourage international organizations to declare their commitment to democratic principles, not to just pay attention to it, but also to connect to the struggle for the preservation of and respect for democratic rights and freedoms of Ukrainian citizens.
The methods of the Ukrainian junta in the struggle for power, is rather in the struggle of building a dictatorship in Ukraine and has nothing to do with the concept of "democracy".
Inaction by the international community with regard to these egregious facts will look like complicity and tacit approval of all the crimes now being committed in Ukraine.
The free world loses another outpost - Ukraine. Anyone who acts not only in words but also in deeds, struggles for democracy, human rights and freedoms and can do a lot together. It is only together we can stop the junta and this fratricidal war in Ukraine! "
Yours faithfully,
MP Olena Bondarenko
