“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.

Terror and the West: Russian prosecutors demand answers from the US and its allies
Moscow has demanded that Western countries investigate the organization and financing of terrorist activities targeting the nation.
Russia has sent official inquiries to the judiciaries of the US, Germany, France and Cyprus, demanding that they investigate the alleged involvement of their intelligence services, and other entities and individuals, in organizing and funding terrorist attacks in the Russian Federation.
The appeal
The appeal was originally submitted to the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office last month by a group of State Duma deputies several days after the attack on Crocus City Hall outside Moscow, which they described as yet another “manifestation of the inhumanity, hatred and cruelty” of Russia’s “external enemies.”
The authors of the document suggested that only Western politicians could have had an interest in such an attack, and insisted that the “international terrorism of the collective West must be stopped.”
To this end, the lawmakers demanded an investigation into the possible involvement of foreign intelligence services and individuals in organizing and financing acts of terrorism in Russia.

Basis for appeal
The deputies cited a UN Security Council resolution, as well as several international anti-terrorism conventions, which have been ratified by the US, France, Germany and Cyprus, as the basis for their demands.
They pointed out that under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, all states are required to prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts, and to freeze assets and funds of any persons guilty of terrorism.
According to the 1977 European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism, which has also been ratified by Ukraine, any persons who have committed an act of terror are also extraditable to a requesting state, the lawmakers noted.
Under the 1997 International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings, all member states are required to investigate any information about possible terrorism suspects present on their territory, with the aim of prosecuting or extraditing them.
List of crimes
The Russian lawmakers noted that the scale and consequences of recent terrorist attacks “demonstrate a certain involvement of representatives of specific foreign intelligence services in the process of their implementation.”

The most “notorious terrorist act of recent decades,” according to the deputies, is the 2022 destruction of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, which were built to deliver Russian natural gas to Germany.
In their appeal, the lawmakers listed a number of statements by top US officials, including President Joe Biden and former deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, as well as other findings related to the incident, to suggest that Washington played a direct role in organizing and carrying out the sabotage.
The members of parliament went on to accuse the Ukrainian intelligence services, which have been deeply involved with the CIA for the past decade, of carrying out a number of terrorist attacks against Russia.
These include the 2022 assassination of Daria Dugina – a journalist and the daughter of prominent Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin; the 2023 murder of military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky in a bomb blast in a cafe in St. Petersburg; and the attempted killing of writer Zakhar Prilepin in May last year.
The deputies also pointed to the bombings of Russia’s Crimean Bridge, particularly the October 8, 2022 attack which saw a truck filled with explosives destroy several hundred meters of the roadbed, killing five civilians.

Other examples of Kiev’s continued terrorist activities, according to the deputies, are the numerous attacks on Russia’s border region of Belgorod, which have resulted in the deaths of dozens of civilians, including children as young as one.
In addition, the authors of the appeal pointed to the killing of US journalist Gonzalo Lira at a Kharkov detention center, as well as repeated attempts by Ukrainian security services to smuggle explosives into Russia with the intent to blow up energy and civilian infrastructure.
Sponsors
The members of parliament surmised that the sheer number of terrorist acts being carried out “presupposes the availability of some funding, including in cash, to avoid possible leaks of information,” and suggested that one of the key “private sponsors” of Kiev’s terrorist activities has been Nikolay Zlochevsky – the owner of gas company Burisma, which has direct ties to the Biden family.

In 2014, Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, was appointed to the Burisma board of Directors while his father served as vice president under Barack Obama and was in charge of Ukraine issues. Hunter’s appointment and subsequent dealings with the firm have since become the center of a corruption scandal, in which the Bidens are accused of engaging in corruption schemes, silencing witnesses, and shutting down criminal investigations against Burisma by forcing the sacking of Ukraine’s prosecutor general.
Russia’s Demands
The appeal concludes by demanding that foreign states assist Russia in its investigations into the organizing and financing of terrorism, and take steps to “identify, locate, block or arrest any funds used or allocated for the purpose of committing terrorist offenses” and bring all individuals and legal entities involved in such crimes to justice.
The deputies also called on the addressees to inform the public about the findings of their investigations, including all the facts, persons involved, and the decisions taken to hold them accountable.

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.

HYPERSONIC SHOVELS, SUPERSONIC DISHWASHERS & THE WORST OF WESTERN PROPAGANDA
The conflict in Ukraine has spawned a quite ridiculously desperate attempt to deliver a barrage of lies to assist in covering up abject western defeat by the Russian military.
The troll farms, lie factories and the official CIA/MI6 psychological operations teams have all been hard at work for the last two years, along with those who channel their product, western mainstream news media, politicians, social media activists and the many public relations firms the Ukrainian regime has hired. Much of this material was wrong on its face and quite laughable, yet it was broadcast widely as fact.
Leyen about Russia
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European started the trend toward an official fake news jamboree with her now infamous statement that Russia was the Russian industry was “in tatters” on 14 September 2022.
‘The Russian military is taking chips from dishwashers and refrigerators to fix their military hardware, because they ran out of semiconductors. Russia's industry is in tatters.’
Since that time the Russian military industrial complex went into overdrive having no problem in changing its source of computer chips (from China) and the entire Russian economy rose significantly with industrial production booming.
Russia running out of weapons
A recurring feature of early western propaganda which occasionally raises its head despite all evidence to the contrary, is that Russia will “soon” run out of missiles. This from 18 October 2022:
‘Russia is running short of long-range missiles, say Western officials.’
‘“Our assessment is that the ability for the Russians to continue with these saturating barrages of precision weapons is getting to the point now where this will be unsustainable.”
From BBC on 14th October 2022:
‘War in Ukraine: Is Russia’s stock of weapons running low?’
‘"We know - and Russian commanders on the ground know - that their supplies and munitions are running out," says Sir Jeremy Fleming, head of the British intelligence agency GCHQ.’
Instead of Russia running out of missiles there has been a steady increase in the use of all types of missiles that can be seen currently to be reaching a peak.
Putin’s many illnesses
From Business Insider May 30th 2022:
‘April 2022… a welter of tabloid speculation — none of which was confirmed — that he could be suffering from the effects of steroid treatment or Parkinson's disease.
‘May 2022: Anonymous oligarch says Putin has blood cancer
In early May, New Lines Magazine obtained a recording of an unnamed Russian oligarch saying that Putin "is very ill with blood cancer."
‘May 14 2022: Ukrainian military intelligence chief claims Putin "is very sick"... the 69-year-old was in a "very bad psychological and physical condition and he is very sick."
‘May 18 2022: MI6 experts weigh in, with one saying Putin will be "gone by 2023". The former head of Britain's MI6 spy agency, Richard Dearlove, suggested on a podcast Putin has long-term illness by saying he will be "gone" by the end of the year, and would be put into "the sanatorium, from which he will not emerge as the leader of Russia."
Despite all these reports of Putin’s imminent disappearance or even demise due to his many illnesses his subsequent many public appearance in public indicate he is in fact ‘fit as a fiddle’ as the saying goes.
Mark Twain was once confronted with similar claims:
According to legend, a reporter found Mark Twain, and asked him what comment he had about the rumor that he was dead. As the story goes, Mark Twain replied, “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
Huge Russian losses?
From New York Times February 2nd 2023:
‘The number of Russian troops killed and wounded in Ukraine is approaching 200,000, a stark symbol of just how badly President Vladimir V. Putin’s invasion has gone, according to American and other Western officials.’
From The Guardian January 6th 2024:
‘Russia-Ukraine war: Russia on course to have lost 500,000 troops by end of 2024, says UK.’
However…
From BBC July 1st 2023:
‘Counting Russia’s dead in Ukraine.’
‘We identified more than 25,000 named individuals - people we know to have died.’
From Mediazona May 20th 2023:
‘BBC and Mediazona confirm 30,003 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine.’
So, not 200,000 or 500,000?
Meanwhile…
From Yahoo News February 26th 2024:
‘Zelensky says 31,000 soldiers killed in first official death toll.’
However…
From The Eurasian Times January 7th 2024:
“It Will Be A Shock”: Ukraine Lost 500,000 Soldiers In War So Far.
The Ghost of Kiev
‘The Ghost of Kiev is the nickname given to a mythical MiG-29 Fulcrum flying ace credited with shooting down six Russian planes over Kiev during the Kiev offensive on 24 February 2022.
Two months after the story spread, the Ukrainian Air Force acknowledged that the fighter was a myth. Experts have stated that stories such as Ghost of Kyiv are part of Ukrainian propaganda or a morale-boosting campaign, or potentially both.’
Those deadly shovels
From BBC March 6 2023:
‘Ukraine war: Russian reservists fighting with shovels - UK defence ministry.’
‘Russian reservists could be using "shovels" for "hand-to-hand" combat in Ukraine due to a shortage of ammunition, the UK's Ministry of Defence says.’
Nothing further need be said about this piece of nonsense from the BBC. Subsequent events have shown how ridiculous such propagandist claims have been proven to be.
“News” from Ukraine
Western mainstream news media outlets take their “news” on events in Ukraine in the most part from Ukrainian sources. Therefore, if a Ukrainian source makes a claim it tends to be reported in the West as a known fact rather than be greeted with the scepticism it more appropriately deserves. This goes to explain in most part the continuing confusion of western populations regarding the true state of affairs in Ukraine. The majority still appear to believe that the Ukrainian regime is having massive success against Russia and that the western goals in Ukraine are being achieved. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just as the stories above, delivered as fact, were seen later to be wrong, so too will all notions that Ukraine or the West is “winning” be shown to be false also.
