“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.

Ukraine to be warned it is ‘too corrupt’ for NATO – Telegraph.
Many of the bloc’s members want “additional steps” from Kiev as they consider the issue a “priority,” a source has told the paper.

NATO wants Ukraine to make more effort to crack down on endemic corruption as a condition for any progress towards joining the bloc, the Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday, citing sources.
According to the British paper, concerns that Ukraine is “too corrupt” to become a full-fledged NATO member will be highlighted in the communique at the bloc’s Washington summit on July 9-11.
A senior US State Department official told The Telegraph that the West must “applaud everything that Ukraine has done in the name of reforms over the last two-plus years.” However, he added that “we want to talk about additional steps that need to be taken, particularly in the area of anti-corruption. It is a priority for many of us around the table.”
NATO members first agreed in 2008 that Ukraine would eventually join the bloc, without setting an exact timetable. After the Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014, Ukraine made its NATO aspirations a strategic goal and formally applied to join the bloc in 2022. The move came after four of its former regions voted overwhelmingly to join Russia.

However, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said Ukraine’s accession is out of the question while it is in conflict with Russia, insisting that membership can only be approved “when allies agree and conditions are met.” Moscow has said Ukraine’s plans to join NATO are among the key reasons for the conflict.
Ukraine has been plagued by corruption for years. The hostilities with Russia have made the problem even more apparent, and the Ukrainian military has been rocked by several high-profile procurement scandals in recent months.
Graft is high on the list of concerns for Ukraine’s Western backers in the EU and US. Last month, the EU set up a special watchdog to combat the possible embezzlement of billions of dollars allocated to Kiev.
In May, Robert Storch, the Pentagon’s inspector general, released a report stating that “endemic corruption persists” in Ukraine while calling its government “one of the least accountable” in Europe. An NBC report in June claimed that Kiev has been irritated by constant US demands to ramp up anti-corruption efforts. American and Ukrainian officials have acknowledged that it is one of the issues poisoning bilateral relations.
According to Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, Ukraine is in the ‘red’ zone, ranking 104th out of 180 countries.

Global confidence in Zelensky has ‘declined significantly’ – poll.
Some 46% of respondents have “not too much” trust in the Ukrainian leader or “none at all,” Pew Research has found.
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has suffered a decline in support over the past year, with people across 35 countries reporting little confidence that he is doing the “right thing,” according to a new poll conducted by the Pew Research Center.
According to Pew, the results were mixed but only 40% of respondents reported having at least “some” confidence in Zelensky regarding world affairs. The reported levels of trust were the highest in Sweden (80%), the UK (72%), the Netherlands (66%), Canada (64%), and Japan (63%).
At the same time, Hungary (83%), Greece (72%), Tunisia (69%), Mexico (67%), Malaysia (61%), Italy (60%), and Türkiye (60%) were the most skeptical of Zelensky.
In many places a large portion of respondents – including 45% in India and 38% in South Africa and Sri Lanka – did not express any opinion of Zelensky whatsoever.
“Confidence in Zelensky has declined significantly over the past year in some countries where trend data is available,” the researchers wrote, noting that opinions also differ by political ideology. For example, American liberals are “more than twice as likely as conservatives to express confidence in him,” according to Pew.
Asked about their nation’s level of military and other support to Kiev, some 24% of Americans said it was “not enough,” while 31% said that Washington was providing “too much.” In Poland the views were split, while most in Hungary and Türkiye said their countries’ level of support was “about the right amount.”

Zelensky remains in power in Ukraine despite his term in office having officially expired on May 20. He opted not to hold a presidential election, citing martial law imposed due to the conflict with Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has argued that Zelensky’s legitimacy has “expired.” Putin noted that the Ukrainian constitution does not make any mention of the suspension of presidential elections and only explicitly prohibits holding parliamentary polls, meaning that only the term of the Verkhovna Rada, the national legislature, can be extended under such circumstances.
In the meantime, some 43% of Ukrainians believe that democratic institutions have worsened in the country during the five years of Zelensky’s presidency, while another 29% said there was no change, a recent study has shown. Of those who noted a decline in democracy, 28% said the actions of the authorities were to blame, the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) reported last month.

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.

WILL THE COLLECTIVE WEST INITIATE THE END OF THE WORLD?
What circumstances could bring an end to all life on our planet? All it would take would be for the collective west, having dispensed with diplomacy, determining then to fight to the death.
The fractures are deep and only getting deeper, the scars appear permanent with no reparative tissue evident. Why, after all the progress humanity has made in rising above barbarity, do we find ourselves on the brink of destruction?
In the Middle East Israel has brought itself into a position where its only recourse, as it goes down for the final time, is to use nuclear weapons. In Ukraine the USA, UK an EU have brought themselves also into a position where in response to total defeat against Russia they may also use nuclear weapons.
Israel is the pawn of the West as is Ukraine. These are the links that may yet cause a chain reaction to occur. Neither the West, Israel or Ukraine contemplates a diplomatic, but only a military solution to that which confronts them. Neither are at all used to defeat. And that could be fatal for all of us.
Israel determined never to let the Palestinians have their own state. Ukraine determined never to allow its Russian-speaking population have the limited sovereignty of autonomy. These policies were not subject to review and those enforcing them did no contemplate any plan B, only military force. As is said, those who live by the sword, die by the sword. And so it is proving.
To be immovable in the face of an inexorable force brings disaster upon all. To have no wish, desire or intent whatsoever to employ diplomacy invites continually building resistance and ultimately disaster. Both the Palestinians and the Russian-speakers of Ukraine will never give up on their right to govern their own land free of threat and violence against them. The Israelis and the western powers ought to have known this as they continued their repression of both these populations.
With diplomacy being regarded all across the West due to the overweening influence of the USA after 9/11 instability and disaster were inevitable. In its campaign against Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria and its intended attack on Iran the USA and its proxies ensured that the entire world security system, such as it was to that point, could no longer be sustained. All else that we see occurring today was set in motion. With rendition to black sites, torture, the use of jihadi fighters as proxies and any number of illegal, immoral and unlawful acts the USA and its allies undermined the entire international order.
In addition to the above western powers began to contemplate the strategic use of nuclear weapons in limited engagements. Nothing was considered ‘out of the box’ or ‘beyond question’ after 9/11. All means considered necessary were to be contemplated. And the primary goal due to which all these various dangerous and illegal means became contemplated was the shoring up of western power and manipulative control so damaged, or considered so, by 9/11.
In recent times it has appeared that the USA in particular, and with its proxies apparently fully agreeing, considered that no world at all was preferable to a world they could no longer control. Of course first, before contemplating such a scenario they will do absolutely everything in their power to weaken, and if possible destroy every enemy they perceive that poses a threat to their maintenance of power. The power they have held in their own hands alone since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The thought that they could lose that level of power and control to any others is complete anathema to them. This is why they are willing to contemplate THE most powerful of all weapons against those enemies.
The crises in the Middle East and Eastern Europe are only symptoms of this greater struggle between the collective west (USA, UK, EU, Baltic States, Australia and New Zealand) against the world powers now rising that are clearly destined to steadily minimise its power and influence and to eventual neutralise and quarantine it.
In essence the collective west is fighting for its life and for what it considers its domain, the entirety of the planet.
What is it NOT willing to do in the fight to accomplish those aims?
