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.

Articles by Russia Today (RT) - 25th November 2023:
Putin provides update on multinational anti-terrorism op.
A Russian-led defense alliance is battling the recruitment channels of international terrorist groups.
The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is continuing its operation ‘Mercenary,’ aimed at disrupting the flow of new recruits into international terrorist groups, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.
The president made the remarks on Thursday as he attended the CSTO summit in the Belarusian capital Minsk. The organization has been focused on measures to “combat extremism, transnational crime, illegal migration and drug trafficking,” as well as on clamping down on the activities of various extremist groups, Putin noted.
“Cooperation between intelligence services and law enforcement agencies has been consistently strengthening. In particular, the CSTO operation ‘Mercenary’ continues, aimed at clamping down on recruitment and shutting the exit routes for citizens of our countries [attempting] to participate in the activities of international terrorist groups,” he stated without naming any particular terrorist organizations.
Our countries, including Russia, do not accept terrorism in any manifestation or in any part of the world.
“Our organization remains an essential element in ensuring the security of its member states and the Eurasian region in general,” Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who hosted the meeting, added.

The CSTO, formed in the early 2000s, brings together six post-Soviet nations, namely Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan. The alliance launched operation ‘Mercenary’ earlier this year, with Belarus as chair, seeking to tighten security for the member states.

Kremlin responds to NATO’s ‘military Schengen’ plan.
The move is another escalation of the US-led alliance’s confrontation with Russia, spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.
NATO’s statements regarding the possibility of creating a “military Schengen” will likely increase tensions in Europe and will lead to an escalation of already strained relations with Russia, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said.
His comments come after NATO’s European logistics chief, Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank, called on European nations to ease national-level regulations to allow the rapid movement of troops, equipment, and ammunition in the event of a war with Russia.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Peskov was asked whether the Kremlin viewed such suggestions by the NATO official as risking an armed conflict between Russia and Europe or as merely another escalatory step in the US-led alliance’s confrontation with Russia.
The Kremlin spokesman suggested Sollfrank’s statements more likely indicate NATO’s escalating confrontation with Russia, adding that the alliance has “always considered our country a conditional enemy. Now it considers our country an obvious enemy.”
“This is nothing but an attempt to escalate tension in Europe, which will have its consequences,” Peskov said, noting that the expansion of NATO cannot be left without a response from the Russian side.

Peskov’s comments come after NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced plans last year to bolster the bloc’s forces in Eastern Europe to 300,000 high-readiness troops in reserve, with 100,000 of these soldiers capable of reaching a potential battlefield with Russia within as little as a week.
The US-led alliance has also repeatedly signaled a desire to see Ukraine eventually join its ranks.
Moscow, meanwhile, has stressed that it would only accept a neutral and independent Ukraine and has described NATO’s expansion in Europe as a threat to Russian national security, and a key cause of the Ukraine conflict.

Russia’s economy growing three times faster than Eurozone – Guardian.
GDP is forecast to expand 1.5% in 2024 against the euro area’s 0.5%.
Western sanctions have so far failed to halt Russia's economic growth, which is now projected to outpace that of the Eurozone, the Guardian reported on Thursday, citing investment firm Amundi.
According to the company’s forecast, Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by 1.5% in 2024. In contrast, the Eurozone economy is set to expand by mere 0.5% next year, according to Amundi, Europe’s largest fund manager in terms of assets.
“It means that the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia – the major developed countries – are unable to sanction a country effectively... We can deplore it, but it’s a reality,” Amundi CIO Vincent Mortier said at a news conference in Paris.
Mortier noted that while sanctions have had some impact on certain Russian individuals and entities, whose assets have been frozen over the past 20 months, Russia’s imports and exports remain virtually unaffected. After losing access to Western markets, Russia successfully reoriented most of its trade to its BRICS partners (Brazil, India, China and South Africa) and countries such as Türkiye and Kazakhstan, which have greatly benefited from the boost in trade with the sanctioned country, Mortier said.
“It’s a reality check. In the end, if we take stock of the war in Ukraine: Europe has suffered directly and strongly; for the United States [the impact is] neutral; but Türkiye, Central Asia and Asia more generally have benefited,” he added.
Russia has faced unprecedented economic sanctions from the West over the Ukraine conflict since last year, pushing the economy into a 2.1% contraction as of the end of 2022. However, recent data shows that the country has since largely adapted to the restrictions, with the Russian Finance Ministry forecasting growth of 3% by the end of the year.

Many international organizations have also recently upgraded their economic forecasts for Russia. The European Commission expects Russia’s GDP to grow by 2% this year on the back of “stronger-than-earlier expected domestic demand underpinned by fiscal stimulus,” and to expand by 1.6% in both 2024 and 2025.

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.
