“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.

Odessa massacre perpetrators must be punished – Kremlin.
Kiev’s failure to properly prosecute those responsible for the post-coup atrocity in 2014 is shameful, Dmitry Peskov has said.
Kiev’s failure to prosecute those responsible for the mass killing of anti-coup activists in Odessa ten years ago is a “shameful page” in Ukrainian history, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
Scores of protesters were killed in the heart of the port city on May 2, 2014, after they were chased by a mob into a governmental building, the local House of Trade Unions, which was then set on fire and barricaded. At least 40 people died in the blaze.
The aggressors had supported the armed coup in Kiev weeks earlier and backed the new authorities that had seized power in Ukraine. The victims were staging daily demonstrations against the changes.
“We remember everyone who tragically died then. We are convinced that people behind this crime must be punished,” Peskov told journalists. “The statute of limitations does not apply to such crimes.”
Ukrainian officials have claimed that the deaths in Odessa were the result of a provocation by would-be separatists. They allege that a small group attacked a much larger rally of football fans and led them to a nearby protest encampment of anti-coup activists, resulting in a clash.

Officials in Kiev blame the failure of firefighters to swiftly respond to the fire in the House of the Trade Unions on the general chaos of the situation. The official death count arising from the incident was 48, including six people who died in street clashes.
Moscow considers the outburst of violence to have been a deliberate attempt to terrorize people in the Russian-speaking city into submitting to the post-coup government and its anti-Russian policies.
”Odessa was a bone in the throat of the regime, which wanted to put on their knees the residents of the city who it hated, and to drown any resistance in blood,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement marking the tenth anniversary of the tragedy.
”The radicals set the building on fire. They finished off those who jumped out trying to escape the fire,” the ministry claimed.
The statement specifically condemned President Vladimir Zelensky’s inaction after he vowed during his election campaign in 2019 that “under his governance, Ukrainian laws and the principle of the inevitability of punishment would be strictly upheld.”
Peskov’s comments on Thursday came in response to remarks made by Viktor Medvedchuk, the former Ukrainian opposition leader who was forced into exile under Zelensky’s presidency. The politician claimed that the senior post-coup leadership, including acting president Aleksandr Turchinov and cabinet-level officials, had orchestrated the mass killings.
In an interview with TASS, Medvedchuk branded the alleged plotters as “feral fascists” and condemned “the fact that Western ‘democracies’ have not taken issue with this terrible, cruel crime in ten years since.”

Budapest is opposing a potential €100-billion ($107 billion), five-year NATO plan to fund Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said. The draft plan on the military aid fund was presented to member states of the US-led bloc by Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg earlier this week, Szijjarto revealed.
The minister made the remarks on Thursday to Hungarian broadcaster M1 before heading for a ministerial meeting of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries in Paris.
“On Tuesday, the NATO member states received the secretary-general’s proposal to raise 100 billion that NATO plans to spend on the war,” the diplomat said, adding that since the money is to be collected over five years, this means NATO “expects the hostilities to continue for this period.”
Budapest will oppose the initiative and is not planning to participate in arming Kiev or training its soldiers, Szijjarto stressed. The draft plan was presented to the bloc’s member states in its “first reading” and is still a subject to negotiations, the senior diplomat noted.
In the coming weeks during negotiations we will fight for Hungary’s right to stay away from this madness, from collecting these 100 billion and siphoning them out of Europe.
Budapest prioritizes the security of its own people before anything else and will do its best to “stay out of war,” Szijjarto explained, adding Hungary’s opinion remains that the conflict can only be resolved through negotiations. Nonetheless, Budapest acknowledges mounting global security issues and wants to be ready to face them, he said.

“We cannot ignore the threat of a new world war and the preparations for a nuclear war. This madness here in Europe must be stopped,” Szijjarto urged.
Hungary has consistently expressed its opposition to the ever-growing involvement of the US-led NATO bloc – and of the EU – in the Ukrainian conflict, refusing to send arms to prop up Kiev or to train its troops, and forbidding use of its territory to funnel such shipments from third countries.
Budapest has also publicly spoken out against the potential accession of Ukraine into NATO, which has long been one of the key goals of Ukrainian leadership.

US has taken UN Security Council hostage – Moscow.
Washington doesn’t reflect the body’s stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Russia’s envoy has said.
The UN Security Council is being held hostage by US policy with respect to the ongoing struggle in the Middle East, Russia’s envoy Vassily Nebenzia has said during a UN General Assembly debate on Washington’s veto of Palestine’s bid to join the intergovernmental organization.
Moscow “deeply regrets” the decision made by the US authorities in mid-April to reject an Algerian resolution calling for the State of Palestine to become a full member of the United Nations, Nebenzia stressed on Wednesday.
Washington’s actions “absolutely do not reflect the principled position taken by the remaining members of the UN Security Council, who over the past six months, in fact, became hostages of the US when it comes to the events in the Middle East,” he said.
Speaking about Israel’s military operation in Gaza, the ambassador stressed that “violence generates more violence, and this vicious circle can only be broken if we achieve an unconditional ceasefire and begin substantive discussions about the possibility of a just political settlement.”

For peace to be achieved between the Israelis and the Palestinians, “certain conditions must be created. We are convinced that Palestine’s membership in the UN is one of them. This would equalize the starting negotiating positions of the parties,” Nebenzia explained.
Washington’s deputy envoy to the UN, Robert Wood, defended the decision to veto Palestine’s bid for full membership, reminding that US President Joe Biden “has been clear that sustainable peace in the region can only be achieved through a two-state solution, with Israel’s security guaranteed.”
The US voted “no” on the resolution because the Palestinian Authority, which controls the West Bank, hasn’t carried out the necessary reforms and because “Hamas – a terrorist organization – is currently exerting power and influence in Gaza,” he said.
“Premature actions here in New York [where the UN headquarters is located], even with the best of intentions, will not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people,” Wood insisted.
Israel joined the UN in 1949, a year after the creation of the Jewish State. Palestine applied for full membership in 2011, but so far only has the status of a “Permanent Observer State” in the organization.

The death toll from Israel’s ongoing airstrikes and ground offensive in the Gaza Strip has already reached 34,568 people while 77,765 others have been wounded, according to the Palestinian enclave’s health ministry. The campaign was launched in response to the October 7 Hamas cross-border attack on Israel, in which at least 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage.

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 NGO INFESTATION: ONLY THE WEST IS ALLOWED TO INTERFERE EVERYWHERE IT WANTS
The CIA got into trouble many decades ago for some of its activities that targeted national governments seeking their collapse. Now the NGOs do this job of interference with in-built deniability.
To listen to the howls of rage from myriad western sources when it was being spread about that Russia was attempting to interfere in western elections you might have got the impression that it was a universal principle that no nation should ever do this. Wrong. The entire western world gives itself the dispensation to do this wherever it deems it necessary.
Why? Because “we are the good guys” and “we are dedicated to bringing freedom and democracy to the world”. These are the eternal justifications for western interference worldwide, and not just a little here and there, to the maximum and basically everywhere. Because this is an accepted right that the God-mandated “good guys” believe in without question. Like all assertions that emerge from a group thought milieu they are sacrosanct merely because they are vital to the outcome sought. The ends, for the West, as ever, justify the means.
Currently we see the Georgian parliament in Tbilisi surrounded by a mob of wannabe insurrectionists a la Ukraine’s Maidan coup in 2013-14. The playbook is identical. Western non-governmental organisations train, fund and seek to motivate the populace of each targeted country to overthrow governments that the western powers see as rivals and even adversaries/enemies. This is simply war by other means. But this egregious interference is supported by any rhetoric, lie, piece of misinformation or propaganda that is useful to the cause.
The primary delivery mechanism in the West to deliver the slant required by western governments is of course the legacy media of the West, CNN, BBC and the rest. As soon as the crisis breaks out, as in Tbilisi right now the entire regiment of western media stenographers fire off a hundred video missives calling the insurrectionists in question ‘peaceful protestors’ made victims by a draconian and maximally repressive regime. Images of the security forces attempting to contain the rioters who clearly want to maximise their effect through violent protest are filtered to show the desired image. The insurrectionists are portrayed as having right on their side whereas the democratically elected government is surely in the wrong because look at these images which we have selected to convince you of that.
The NGOs are an outcrop from the intelligence agencies who worked tirelessly to weaken and undermine the USSR. They are what are called cut-outs from agencies such as the CIA. These organisations such as the National Endowment for Democracy in the USA are essentially part and parcel of agencies such as the CIA that now have the deniability of being non-governmental (so-called). Yet look at who funds every single one of the most prominent NGOs. You will see the U.S. State Department, the UK Foreign Office and others of their ilk.
The NGOs are simply an integral part of the world war that is being waged by the West against Russia, China and any other countries that are unwilling to submit to western control and global domination. For the crime of not submitting to universal global control by the USA and its proxies these nations have been targeted for regime change. And the most potent weapons available to the West are the NGOs which many ex-Warsaw Pact nations naively accepted within their borders out of a hope that the West might help them prosper. They were not to know that these NGOs are only interested in allowing one kind of politician, group or nation prosper, those who will bow to the West and submit to propagating its interests despite what may benefit the nation itself.
The western NGOs are the seeds of destruction which nations such as Georgia, Armenia, Moldova and Ukraine allowed to bed themselves deep inside themselves and to propagate their interests by ‘all means necessary’. The results in Ukraine in 2013-14 are there for all to see. Now we are seeing the selfsame NGOs with the selfsame tactics attempting to have the identical result in Georgia. The Georgian government will hopefully have learned the lesson of Kiev’s Maidan. The then president Viktor Yanukovych denied the Ukrainian security forces the means to disperse the insurrectionists on Kiev’s Maidan Square, he desired instead to establish a dialogue with them. Such people have no desire to reach any form of agreement however, they want the destruction of the elected government and its replacement with one that suits western needs. And the NGOs funded by the West to interfere in the targeted nation attempt to do everything possible to bring this about.
