“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.

A Rai News 24 journalist interviewed a Ukrainian serviceman who was wearing SS insignia, Maria Zakharova has pointed out.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has accused Italian state broadcaster RAI News of “sinking to a new low,” after correspondent Ilario Piagnerelli interviewed a Ukrainian soldier who was wearing Nazi insignia.
The criticism comes after the broadcaster recalled two of its reporters back to Italy, following the launch of a criminal probe by Moscow into their illegal presence in Russia’s Kursk Region. On Wednesday, RAI aired a TV report on the Ukrainian cross-border assault into the region, in which a crew of journalists embedded with Kiev’s forces drove deep into Russian territory.
“Western media continue to engage in the deliberate rehabilitation of Ukrainian neo-Nazis and the revision of the Nuremberg Tribunal verdicts,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday, commenting on an interview conducted by Piagnerelli with a Ukrainian soldier who was wearing a symbol associated with an SS division.
The correspondent had already “distinguished himself with stories about Bucha and a dead neo-Nazi from Pravy Sektor [Right Sector],” she claimed, but has now “sunk to new depths after taking a video interview with an Armed Forces of Ukraine member in a cap with the insignia of the SS division ‘Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler’.” The SS organization Zakharova was referring to was convicted of war crimes by the Nuremberg Tribunal following World War II.
“It is possible that next time Pianerelli will film a Ukronazi with the symbols of the SS division ‘Reichsfuhrer SS,’” Zakharova stated. The SS division killed between 770 and 1,830 civilians in the Italian town of Marzabotto in 1944, in the worst World War II massacre in Western Europe, she recalled. More than 200 of the victims were children, mostly under the age of ten.
In an extract from a report circulating online, Pianerelli can be seen talking to a man wearing a khaki cap adorned with the insignia of the ‘Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler’ SS division. The video is watermarked ‘Rai News 24’. As of Monday morning, the footage was missing from Pianerelli’s account on X (formerly Twitter).

In a longer version of the interview circulating on social media, Pianerelli questions another Ukrainian serviceman who has a red-colored ‘black sun crest’ swastika on his plate carrier vest, another symbol used by the SS.

Ukraine pushing Russia to use nuclear weapons – Belarus.
Kiev may have launched its Kursk incursion to provoke a drastic response by Moscow, President Alexander Lukashenko believes.
Ukraine’s incursion into internationally recognized Russian territory looks like an attempt to compel Moscow to use nuclear weapons, which would irrevocably damage its image globally, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said.
In an interview with Russia-1 aired on Sunday, Lukashenko warned that Kiev’s operation in Kursk Region – the largest cross-border assault by Kiev since the outbreak of the conflict – posed enormous risks to global security.
“The danger is that this kind of escalation on the part of Ukraine is an attempt to push Russia into asymmetric actions, for example, the use of nuclear weapons,” the Belarusian leader said, adding that such a move would be a PR bonanza for both Kiev and its Western backers.

“Then we would probably have hardly any allies left. There would be no sympathetic countries left at all,” he noted, explaining that this reaction would be based on the universal aversion to the fallout that could be caused by nuclear weapons.
Lukashenko also responded to statements by Ukrainian officials that the Kursk incursion was aimed at improving Kiev’s diplomatic position for possible talks with Russia. This plan is “a classic, but it does not work in a struggle against a great empire that has not even begun to fight in earnest,” he argued, adding he was sure that the Ukrainians would eventually be expelled from Kursk Region.
According to its current nuclear doctrine, Russia can deploy its nuclear arsenal only “in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies, and also in case of aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is threatened.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said on several occasions that there is no need to use nuclear weapons in the Ukraine campaign. Moscow has warned that it may change its nuclear doctrine, but said that any changes would be in response to what it perceives as escalatory moves by NATO.

Russia Increasing Hydrocarbon Exports to China, Becomes Largest Oil Supplier.
Russia is increasing its hydrocarbon exports to China and is currently the largest supplier of oil to the Chinese market, the Russian government said on Monday.
"Strategic cooperation in the energy sector is deepening. The volume of Russian hydrocarbon exports to China is increasing: Russia is the largest supplier of oil to the Chinese market and also occupies a leading position in the export of coal and LNG," the government said in a statement.
Russia and China are systematically increasing natural gas supplies via the Power of Siberia pipeline, as well as are designing a gas pipeline for the Far East route and working out the conditions for exporting gas through Mongolia, the government added.

Massive Ukrainian Retreat In Pokrovsk Front l Ukrainian Incursion Stops.
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.

KURSK: UKRAINE’S LAST THROW OF THE DICE
It is a pitiful sight for those who frequent casinos to see some poor, addicted slob continually double down on his bets and ultimately lose EVERYTHING. How much more pitiful to see an iniquitous regime throw away the lives of its citizens in something very similar.
The Kiev regime led by a second rate comedian who has not been funny at any time over the last two and a half years and who is nearing the end of his tether as well as his tenure, is on its last legs, propped up only by equally loathsome western sponsors. Zelnsky’s initial welcome as a peacemaker wore out long, long ago. Within months of becoming president of Ukraine he became a reckless warmonger and he has stayed that way until now.
Goaded into war by sponsors intent on weakening Russia and furthering their war against the peaceful nations rising to take away their global dominance the USA, UK and their European allies, used Ukraine as a tool and pawn to do their bidding. The result has been the death or grievous wounding of around half a million Ukrainian troops.
Beaten across every area of conflict up and down the Donbass battlelines Zelensky has insisted on national suicide via the incursion of his last best troops into the Kursk region of Russia. After a week or so we see that this reckless gamble has predictably failed. Zelensky’s hapless troops have been contained in almost every area where they have brought their unwanted presence. Though the goal of the incursion, reaching and capturing the Kursk nuclear power plant is now clearly beyond their reach there will be no withdrawal. Zelensky will insist, for appearances sake, that they remain… and die.
Already many Ukrainian troops are choosing to surrender rather than fight a hopeless battle against the Russian troops closing in all around them. Russia is using its drone squadrons to precisely locate every West-supplied vehicle within the region and destroy it along with any Ukrainian troops within them. In the last twenty-four hours alone a desperate Kiev regime has sent and lost six Patriot missile batteries near the Kursk battlelines. There is zero hope of any success for the Kursk mission. When, in the first few days, Kiev’s troops failed to take the small town of Sudzha (5,000-6,000 inhabitants) which it must have been thought would provide easy pickings. This was the first sign that things were not going to plan.
Despite reportedly being trained in Britain, the Ukrainians and associated British, American and Polish mercenaries (or sheep-dipped NATO troops) have failed in their task. They did take quite a number of small villages while failing to take Sudzha, but what kind of “victories” were these? They were what is termed ‘Pyrrhic Victories’, no real victory at all. A few vehicles comprising a small number of troops in fast-moving raiding parties drove around claiming to ‘take’ villages that offered no resistance to them. The only change these “bold warriors” made was in the flag flying over the village’s town hall, if it even had one. Meanwhile Russia drew up its plans against them.
Over the last two days we have seen the Ukrainian interlopers pushed back and destroyed in ever more locations. They have stopped trying to move forward in most places, unable to make any further inroads and suffering heavy losses. Unable to leave due to Kiev’s insistence they stay, fight and die they are either surrendering or seeking to fight on in areas where Russian support is still not as strong as it has been encountered elsewhere. The devastating knowledge must surely be permeating every thick Ukrainian skull by now that they will either never leave Russia or only to be taken prisoner and exchanged for Russian troops held captive in Ukraine.
The conflict in the Kursk region will continue for some time yet no doubt. It was Zelensky’s last throw of the dice, his last effort to double down. His sponsors in Washington, London, Brussels, Berlin and elsewhere will continue to double down, providing some replacement vehicles and the next game-changing doomed to fail superweapon. They are nearing their very last throw of the dice also. How so? Because Russia is now powering forward across the Donbass line of contact and especially so in the Avdeevka area where the town of Niu York is about to be liberated and then the city of Toretsk. Soon after the town of Pokrovsk will fall, the most strategically important town in the region, a logistic and transport hub for the regime that is vital for conveying troops and weaponry to the various battlefonts. Without Pokrovst the ability for the Ukrainian military to continue to the level of readiness required will be severely degraded.
Zelensky is desperate. Zelensky’s sponsors are also desperate. Both sources of evil see defeat and humiliation on the horizon. Yet instead of saving lives by admitting their defeat they will callously urge the hapless Ukrainian troops on from the comfort of their armchairs safely back in their capitals. They don’t want to be the ones who are in office when the hammer is finally brought down. So, they cynically double down instead. And push the date of humiliation and total defeat further down the road… a road littered by the dead bodies of those they sent uselessly to fight in an unwinnable war.
