“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 confirms loss of first F-16
Western media had previously reported a fighter jet had crashed, citing anonymous sources
Ukraine’s General Staff has confirmed that a Western-supplied F-16 fighter jet has been lost along with its pilot.
A handful of the US-made aircraft were delivered to Ukraine earlier this month. Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, meanwhile, confirmed on Tuesday that the jets had seen action during a massive Russian missile attack the day before.
“Contact was lost with one of the planes as it followed a target. As it turned out, the plane crashed and the pilot died,” the General Staff said in a statement on Thursday evening.
The Defense Ministry in Kiev has established a special commission to investigate the incident. A source within the Ukrainian Air Force told Voice of America that among the options currently being examined are pilot error, technical malfunction, and “friendly fire” from Ukrainian air defenses.
Earlier in the day, the Wall Street Journal and CNN reported that one of the Ukrainian F-16s was “destroyed in a crash on Monday,” one citing a US official and the other a source in Kiev. There were conflicting reports on whether pilot error was to blame.
The fallen pilot was identified as Aleksey Mes, callsign ‘Moonfish’, one of just a handful of Ukrainian pilots trained in the West to fly F-16s. His death was first revealed by an obituary posted on social media by a councilman in Mes' home town of Lutsk.
Mes and one of his squadron mates, Andrey ‘Juice’ Pilshchikov, were the faces of Ukraine’s campaign to acquire the F-16s, giving multiple interviews to Western media. Pilshchikov was killed in action last August.
Though members of NATO’s “F-16 coalition” promised dozens of planes to Kiev, reportedly only six have been delivered so far. A Russian company has offered a reward of 15 million rubles ($170,000) to whomever shoots down the first F-16 in combat. No one has stepped forward to claim the reward so far.
Moscow has said that the American-made jets won’t make a difference on the battlefield and will be destroyed just like the other Western hardware provided to Kiev since the start of the conflict.

Russia-Ukraine: Russia Accuses Kyiv of War Crimes in Kursk Region at UNSC Meeting.
Moscow accuses US of hypocrisy on Ukraine and Israel.
Washington only favors the right of nations to defend themselves when it’s convenient, Russia’s deputy envoy to the UN has said.
Washington only cares about a nation’s right to defend itself when the country in question is aligned with US foreign policy goals, Russia’s deputy representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, said on Thursday.
Addressing a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine, he accused the US government of applying double standards to armed conflicts. He quoted US Alternative Representative for Special Political Affairs Robert Wood, who said hours earlier about Israel: “No member of this Council, facing a brutal terrorist organization on its border, would tolerate daily attacks and displacement of tens of thousands of its own people.”
Wood was defending Israel’s military action in confrontation with the Lebanon-based militant movement Hezbollah amid wider rising tensions in the Middle East.
Polyanskiy pointed out that the American position “is reserved exclusively for Israel” and “when it comes to crimes against Russia and Russians, Washington doesn’t care.”

The speech delivered by the Russian diplomat condemned Ukrainian troops for their conduct during the ongoing incursion in Russia’s Kursk Region. He accused Kiev’s forces of targeting civilians and launching attacks at the Kursk nuclear power plant, which, according to Polyanskiy, poses a major threat to the entire European continent.
Moscow does not expect the US and its NATO allies to rebuke “Ukrainian murderers, terrorists and looters,” since they claim that Kiev has the right to invade Russia in self-defense, the diplomat said. He urged other nations to learn from the Ukrainian example and not to trust the US when it tries to drag them into its geopolitical games.
The US Department of State has repeatedly declined to acknowledge that Iran has the right to defend itself after the assassination of a senior Hamas leader on Iranian soil in early August. The Iranian government has blamed Israel for the bomb attack that killed Ismail Haniyeh during a visit to Tehran.

US, Russian Deputy Envoys Have Heated Exchange at UN Security Council Over Gaza Ceasefire.
The deputy representatives of the US and Russian missions to the United Nations engaged in an argument at the UN Security Council meeting over which of their countries is doing a better job at trying to resolve the conflict in Gaza, a Sputnik correspondent reported.
"I don’t need to sit here and explain to you why the US did what it did with regard to these resolutions. You know quite well and I think everybody in this room does," US Deputy Envoy Robert Wood said in response to his Russian counterpart Dmitry Polyanskiy.
The Russian diplomat remarked earlier that the United States has been blocking a ceasefire in Gaza by supporting Israel and vetoing UN Security Council resolutions concerning the Palestinian enclave.
"One delegation, shielding their main Middle Eastern ally, as we are well aware, for ten months has been blocking any real steps to that end, essentially compelling all members of this council to become complicit in the collective punishment of Palestinians," Polyanskiy said, adding that the US falsely claimed that Israel had agreed to a ceasefire deal.
"However, it turned out - and no one is surprised about this- that these calls were far from a reality as was the US so-called Biden-plan which was [adopted by the Security Council on June 10 as Resolution 2735]," Polyanskiy continued. "Israel did not agree to that deal then, nor has it agreed now to end its operations... [The US is] modifying the parameters for a ceasefire in Gaza for the benefit of Western Jerusalem. Let us recall that the Security Council did not consent to any reformatting of the parameters of agreements that were set out in Resolution 2735.”
Wood pointed out that the United States is now focusing on its efforts together with Egypt and Qatar to implement a framework that was agreed to by the Israeli government and Hamas.
Wood also emphasized that Hamas has been changing its position on the proposed ceasefire and hostage release deal.
"So my recommendations to you and your government would be, if you are going to contribute something positively, then contribute it. If not, you should be quiet," Wood said.
Polyanskiy replied that that Wood should keep his recommendations about him or the Russian government to himself and the United States should stop getting in the way of the UN Security Council discussing the Palestinian dossier.
The United States bears the responsibility of what is happening now in Gaza, where more than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, 2023. "If my other colleagues don't have the courage to tell you this to your face, I have no problem doing so," Polyanskiy said.

Hungarian FM slams EU’s top diplomat over Ukraine.
Peter Szijjarto has criticized Josep Borrell’s remarks on the use of Western-supplied weapons for strikes deep into Russia.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has slammed the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, over his recent remarks on strikes deep into Russian territory. Borrell suggested that Ukraine should be allowed to use Western-supplied weapons to conduct these attacks.
Commenting on Ukraine’s surprise incursion into Kursk Region, Russia in early August, Borrell told Kiev that it has the “full support” of the EU.
Also this month, the bloc’s top diplomat said, “we are not a party to the war, but we are part of the conflict.”
In a post on Facebook, the Hungarian foreign minister described the Ukraine conflict as “madness” that “must be put to an end.”
“However, if more and more weapons are sent to this region, if depth strikes arrive on the territory of Russia, then the danger of escalation will only increase and this war will become even more serious,” Szijjarto warned, apparently referring to Borrell’s recent statements.
Budapest’s top diplomat added that to avoid this, his country will “continue to represent the pro-peace position” during an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Thursday.
In a separate post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, Zoltan Kovacs, the spokesperson of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s office, wrote that Szijjarto “criticized the European Union’s outgoing High Representative for Foreign Affairs, who is calling for more weapons to be sent to Ukraine and even suggesting that these Western-supplied arms should be used for deep strikes on Russian territory.”
Borrell has previously called on the West to lift all restrictions on Kiev’s use of the weapons it has provided, particularly with regard to long-range strikes. He argued that this would “help advance peace efforts.”
Last week, the head of the prime minister’s office, Gergely Gulyas, characterized Kiev’s actions on Russian soil as “wrong” and not conducive to a peaceful settlement of the conflict.
In July, Szijjarto also criticized the top EU diplomat over his reported scheme to undermine Hungary’s efforts to organize an informal foreign affairs summit, calling the supposed plan childish. He went on to accuse Borrell of overseeing the “most unsuccessful period of European foreign policy” ever.

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.

UKRAINE, THE GREATEST DISASTER FOR THE WEST IN MODERN TIMES
The empire of the West that we have lived with and within for so many years is now falling apart in disgrace. The manifestly disastrous 'Ukraine Project' it continues to promulgate will see its end.
It is clear that the western powers are fully aware of what faces them if and when Russia wins in Ukraine. They know they will never live down their humiliation and its many disastrous and permanent consequences. There will be no full recovery for them, ever. The stigmata will be permanent upon their national skins in perpetuity. Russia, after victory in Ukraine will be that much closer to the European mess of liberal degradation and will have even greater influence than now in attracting everyday people of western nations to the traditional ways of life they have maintained. All in all the project to use Ukraine as a device to weaken Russia has utterly failed.
Currently we are hearing how dire things have become in Europe, especially from Germany which has been in a downturn ever since it obeyed the U.S. and ended the Russian supply of cheap natural gas. Other European nations are also suffering due to this cause. Prices are rising and living standards falling across Europe. In the USA, thanks to the still powerful ability it has to manipulate markets the damage is not as severe as in Europe. But the effect of a defeat to its remaining, much reduced “prestige” as a military and political bully, in Ukraine will set the seal on its decline. The world is watching Russia beat the entirety of the western world along with its chief and most aggressive military tool, NATO. The change of attitude toward the West in general is already striking to see. And what awaits the West now will be even more so.
None of this need have occurred. Russia was more than willing to sort the Ukraine mess out through negotiations. The seven year effort by Russia in the face of western deception during the Minsk process proves this, along with its offer to the USA and NATO to work out a new security architecture for Europe and the instigation of negotiations toward a peaceful settlement in Istanbul only a month or so into the conflict. But all efforts by Russia to reach a negotiated settlement preserving peace into the future were rejected. It was clear at the time and even more so in hindsight that the western powers had no interest in establishing peace. They wanted war and believed by providing no way for Russia to escape from its ultimate decision they would win big. How wrong they were.
Russia has been strengthened in almost every way due to the West’s, #Project Ukraine’. It’s standing in the world outside the West has been massively improved. Trading partners from India to China, to Saudi Arabia, to Vietnam and far beyond are far closer than before. The Russian military, through its steady war of attrition against the Ukrainian regime and its military is producing the largest, best trained and equipped and most professional, highly experienced army in the world. And, due to necessity Russia has developed, tested and brought into service state of the art weapons systems such as its hypersonic missiles, making it the world’s most formidable adversary, bar none. By achieving its goals in Ukraine Russia will have new regions in in which it can make good use of both their populations and resources to move forward to ever more economic success.
In addition to all of the above Russia now sees a steady stream of people from the West wanting to live in Russia and become Russian citizens. Russia’s maintenance of traditional lifestyles is immensely attractive to families sick to death of the increasingly rotten state of western societies. This immigration inflow will further strengthen Russia in all manner of ways with an influx of fresh blood steadily having its effect across fields where they bring expertise to add to the ever more robust and excitingly innovative Russian scene. Russia is getting its message of modernity, tradition and security across as never before through such internet platforms as TikTok, Telegram and X. The sky is no limit for Russia as the West increasingly heads down a woke spiral of darkness toward an oblivion where the power it has used so malignly to intimidate and damage others evaporates.
The West was already headed downward and was already losing its power to China, India and others before it embarked on the disastrous Ukraine project. But with declining mental faculties, damaged by pernicious indulgences and influences, the level of stupidity at all levels of western society led its leaders to this final gross error. The debacle for the West in Ukraine is complete. Drained treasuries and armories, demotivated populations suffering a seemingly endless decline in their prospects and life chances, societies riven with discord, torn apart by division and torn into pieces by a totally dysfunctional political domain sinks now into a so-called woke degradation from which it seems certain it will never fully recover. The die is cast. The West’s so-called democracies are turning into totalitarian and highly draconian prisons for their inhabitants, lost to reality, believing in pure fantasy and now submerged forever within inescapable disgrace.
