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 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.

U.S. Power & the Darkness Ahead for Ukraine.
Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 7th July 2023:
Zelensky shifts blame for counteroffensive failures to West.
Delays in military assistance allowed Russia to create stronger defenses, the Ukrainian president has said.
Kiev had hoped to launch its military pushback against Russia much sooner, but was hampered by a lack of Western-supplied weapons, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said in an interview released on Wednesday.
Speaking to CNN, Zelensky admitted that Ukraine's counteroffensive, which has been running for about a month, has been “slowed down” by strong Russian defenses.
Zelensky noted that he had told European leaders that Ukraine would like to start its campaign “much earlier,” but needed “all the weapons and materiel for that.” In some areas, he said, Kiev’s troops cannot “even think of starting” attacks because they do not have “the relevant weapons.”
The Ukrainian leader explained that Kiev knew the delays would result in slower progress. “Everyone understood that if the counteroffensive unfolds later, then a bigger part of our territory will be mined. We give our enemy the time and possibility to place more mines and prepare their defensive lines,” he added.
Zelensky went on to reiterate calls for deliveries of US-made F-16 fighter jets. While Kiev’s Western backers have already started to train Ukrainian pilots to fly these aircraft, earlier this week Admiral Rob Bauer, chairman of the NATO military committee, warned that the issue of shipments “will not be solved in the short term for this counteroffensive.”
The Ukrainian leader noted that F-16 deliveries are “not even about the Ukrainian advantage in the sky over the Russians” but rather “only about being equal,” adding that the jets will provide cover for Ukrainian troops, enabling them to more easily move across the battlefield.
Kiev started its long-anticipated counteroffensive in early June, attempting to breach Russian defenses along several sections of the front. However, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, all Ukrainian attacks have failed, with heavy losses.
Numerous Ukrainian officials, including Zelensky, have acknowledged difficulties on the battlefield, with the Ukrainian deputy defense minister Anna Malyar urging the public last month not to measure Ukraine’s successes by recaptured territory.
On Tuesday, Aleksey Danilov, Ukraine’s national security chief, claimed that Kiev’s priority is “the maximum destruction” of the Russian military rather than territorial advances.
However, a Financial Times report last month indicated that Western officials have been unimpressed by Ukraine’s battlefield performance, with the paper’s sources claiming that long-term Western support for Kiev would be contingent on the eventual outcome of the offensive.

SUPPORTING SCOTT RITTER
I've been listening to Scott Ritter describe how things are for him and I suspect have been for him for quite some time now.
He has been doing a LOT of unpaid work with a great many interview requests coming in that he has been ready and willing to agree to. But the work where receives some pay for have suffered due to this, being left until the wee small hours of the night to complete work on.
Scott, I think you will agree, has been one of the most influential voices out there on Russia and Ukraine.
I was moved by Scott's words to take an annual subscription to his Substack account that he runs in coordination with his colleague on 'U.S. Tour of Duty', Jeff Norman. This is the main way that Scott recommends to help him with finances with which to upgrade his delivery of comment on Russia and Ukraine, via a better microphone etc. and perhaps the creation of a recording studio in his basement to create a more professional and impressive look. To invest in these things he would like to be sure that this has a viable financial future.
Would you also like to help by subscribing at one of the various levels to Scott's Substack account? I hope so. If so the link is here:
Below you'll find the edited part of the video where Scott talks of his commitments to get the facts out on events in Ukraine and of the finances that would come in handy to enhance their delivery:

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.

UPDATES TO BE ADDED HERE AS AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
HOW WILL THE WEST RID THEMSELVES OF THEIR FAILED PROJECT, THE ZELENSKY PEST?
It must surely be clear to every single political leader across the western world by now that Russia is more than capable of staying the course in the Donbass and that sooner or later the current Ukrainian regime with Zelensky at its head will be defeated.
But will they admit this? They will not. So what will they do about the regime’s primary symbol, this comedian cum dictator who they have placed upon a glorious shining white pedestal for so long now?
How will the West rid themselves of the Zelensky pest when association with him is only an extremely unwelcome reminder of abject failure and total humiliation?
It must strongly be suspected that they will continue to love bomb him while at the very same time they nudge him to the sidelines, abandoning the poor wretch to his ignominious fate in order to mount a rearguard attempt to save their own filthy arses.
As his cynical and wholly callous project in the Donbass goes down the tubes it is very likely that they will continue to sing his praises and all the while these politicians will pray for the speediest departure of this most dangerous liability for them. His failure will be their failure unless they disassociate themselves. So he MUST go, though it mustn’t appear that he has been pushed. They cannot be SEEN to be stabbing their “glorious hero” in the back. That would not be the right look. So, his praises must continue to be sung, perhaps leaving aside the previous references to Winston Churchill however, that piece of ridiculously embarrassing hyperbole will be left in the (they hope) soon to be forgotten past. They must avoid going too far in any self-discomforting direction while they arrange the many sharp knives they have prepared for that ordure-coloured back of his.
Word will be spread by the most secret of channels. Zelensky is ‘out’. Soon to be persona non grata, a parasite locked out of all news studios, garden parties, corridors of power and most definitely out of polite conversation among the western high and mighty political elites. Suddenly the invitations to speak here, there and everywhere will cease, the phone will no longer ring even as his shell-like ears still ring with ego-flattering praises while his very short back senses needle-like pricks of a thousand knife-points.
He will be love-bombed and held at arm's length concurrently until he shuffles off into obscurity, seeking to rekindle a dead career as a third-rate comedian. Failing at this latter pursuit he will no doubt plunge into an ever deeper bout of clinical depression, growling at maids and servants almost completely alone in his palatial domain in either Switzerland or Israel, a beaten man, shunned by all those who used to shower him with praises.
It is either a case of continuing to praise him as he is eased out, down and shown the exit… or play the mean-spirited blame game hitting him with every semantic weapon available describing his failure to do this, comply with that or take the directions from his allies that would have brought success and ultimate victory. If he had only been honest, not hidden vital information from those who were “trying to do everything possible for him and his country”. To no avail. He simply failed to deliver, failed to be told, failed to conduct himself properly as requested and began asking for too much while he provided so little. This is the alternative way to protect western political arses while handing Zelensky his on a plate.
The possibility that Zelensky will be afflicted in due course by some form of severe mental illness, quite possibly megalomania, grow his hair and fingernails a la Howard Hughes and become a recluse should not be discounted. Every now and then some adventurous young journo will brave the high security luxury lock-up he almost never leaves and report back on the dishevelled mouse of a man he found wearing still the same dirty yellow-brown t-shirt, bearing a dirty week-long beard with pieces of cheese dangling within it now and again uttering plaintive growls of piteous anger aimed at the whole world that has betrayed him. A sorry sight of gruesome self-pity that no one anywhere could ever find it in themselves to pity by return.
The glory days gone, his virtual throne having been shattered into a million pieces, unable to return to what is left for fear of being lynched, hung up from a common lamp post and set alight, he will reach his complete nadir, rejected by all but the viciously curious, determined to see what has become of the louse that thought he was a king, the miserable fake peacemaker who decided to take on a nuclear power and lose the lives of almost half a million of his fellow Ukrainians, still moaning in total self-interest about his “poor” self.
He will look in vain for some contact with any of his previous admirers, no phone call gets through to the White House, not exactly a viable gambit anyway as Biden is no longer there, now in a home for the mentally decrepit. Scholz is now on a farm in Bavaria having given up politics altogether along with Baerbock, very nearly tarred and feathered on a Berlin street one night who then realized the game was up with her and her campaign of hatred toward Russia that had so damaged Germany. Macron? Also gone, replaced by Le Pen. Zelensky no longer had any of his former political playmates to call on, not that any of them wanted to know him anymore anyway. One after another this gruesome crew had gone. Every politician who had sat at his feet gushing praises or polished his halo, had left the political stage soon after shafting him in an attempt to save themselves.
Meanwhile… a few thousand kilometres away, a man pauses amid his daily exercise regimen and ponders the poor Zelensky a while. His thoughts are not without compassion for the man and yet… and yet… he cannot allow himself to feel over sympathetic to the man who let himself be persuaded to choose war, not peace, a suicidal resistance rather than a mutually-beneficial agreement, a man who had led his nation to a catastrophic avoidable tragedy and cost so VERY many Ukrainian lives. After a few thoughts of this kind he turns his thoughts to the current tasks at hand to move Russia forward establishing ever higher standards for every last Russian man, woman and child.
