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 men & 3 women died, all civilians.

Article from Russia Today (RT) - 27th February 2023:
Thousands rally for peace in Italy.
Demonstrators in the cities of Genoa and Milan are demanding an end to weapons supplies to Kiev.
Several thousand people turned up for peace demonstrations in the Italian cities of Genoa and Milan on Saturday. Union members and left-wing activists claimed, among other things, that authorities in Rome have breached national law by sending weapons to Ukraine.
The rally in Genoa drew nearly 4,000 participants from across the country as well as from Switzerland and France, local media reported.
Organized by the Collective Autonomous Port Workers (CALP) group with the support of the Italian communist party, the protest took place under the slogan “Lower weapons, raise wages.”
CALP’s Riccardo Rudino was cited in the media as saying that the “conflict in Ukraine did not begin last year” but rather “in 2014, with the massacre of the Russian-speaking population in Donbass.”
The demonstrators filed through the port of Genoa, demanding an end to the use of the facility for arms shipments destined for Ukraine.
CALP spokesperson Jose Nivoi accused the Italian government of violating law 185 of 1990, which “imposed a ban on the import, export and transit of weapons from Italy to states at war.”
The group’s representatives also described how they had been networking with like-minded “associations and activists in various European cities.”

The procession went off without serious incidents, marred only by a few acts of vandalism at the hands of anarchists, who smeared and damaged several vehicles and broke windows in a bank.
A protest was also held on Saturday in Milan. Ruptly video news agency filmed several hundred people chanting slogans and waving flags, including those of Russia and the Donetsk People’s Republic.
The demonstrations in Italy coincided with one in the German capital, Berlin. There, tens of thousands of people heeded the call of prominent Left Party politician Sahra Wagenknecht and author Alice Schwarzer.
Named the ‘Uprising for Peace,’ the protest called for peace talks to end hostilities in Ukraine. The participants also urged the German government to stop shipping weapons to Kiev.
Addressing her supporters, Wagenknecht criticized Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government for allegedly trying to “ruin Russia,” and described Saturday’s protest as the start of a new peace movement in Germany.

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.

WHAT WILL THE END GAME IN UKRAINE LOOK LIKE?
The end game will arrive after Russia has achieved insurmountable gains and then makes it clear that it will agree to its troops remaining thus far and no further on the condition that new elections are held in Ukraine after which it will, depending on the foreign policy stances of the new administration, then engage in peace talks.
These peace talks will naturally be heavily weighted in Russia's favour, however, Ukraine as a nation will be enabled to achieve reassurances of its future security when certain concessions regarding the permanence of its independence from any security grouping such as NATO and its commitment to fully demilitarise.
In addition to all other points agreed to, any remaining military symbolism will be strictly ceremonial in character and any infringement of this and the latter stipulation regarding NATO will have penalties written into the subsequent agreement and signed by both parties.
This scenario will I am reasonably certain will occur sometime within the next six months. I do not foresee the conflict continuing longer than this before it becomes clear that no matter how much financial, military or propaganda support the West provides to the Kiev regime its campaign against Russia has been well and truly lost.
How far will Russia proceed to liberate territory that presently remains within Ukraine? It is possible that if western and Ukrainian resistance to the Russian military escalates as it has done in recent weeks and months then Russia, matching these escalations could take up to the eastern bank of the Dnieper River. If western escalation dwindles in terms of range and quantity of weaponry then Russia is likely to satisfy itself when it reaches the boundary of the Donbass region along with the other regions that are already within the Russian federation.
Securing the safety and perpetual safety of the Russian-speaking majority of the Donbass region was one of Russia’s primary goals, in fact THE most important goal it set itself. Therefore I would suggest that satisfying itself that this has been accomplished would motivate it to call a halt to its further progress to the Dnieper. But this depends totally I believe on whether the western powers continue to escalate the conflict, make continuing warlike statements against Russia and the same aggressive rhetoric continues to emanate from Kiev.
The agreement will, as I say, overwhelmingly favour Russia but with Ukraine retaining many benefits resulting from the settlement in terms of future peace and security guarantees. Russia will keep all, or almost all territory under its control at the time of the negotiations, Ukraine will de-arm and demilitarise and bring into being a special security force to imprison members of certain militant groups who persist in using Nazi slogans and symbols and to eliminate any and all traces of such organisations. And finally that the Ukrainian constitution be changed to stipulate that Ukraine will never, under any circumstances, become a member of NATO.
Russia may add yet one more stipulation in addition and congruent to any agreement with Ukraine. That is a demand which all western powers must adhere to before any agreement with the new administration is signed. Namely, that all sanctions upon Russia must be lifted and never again imposed.
With both agreements signed and ratified at the United Nations both Russia and the nations of the collective west can begin to rebuild Ukraine and move the situation forward to an era of peace and mutual security for both the Ukrainian and the Russian state, the dream of the vast majority everyday citizens of both nations long for.
If however, the western powers insist, due to an abiding goal to weaken Russia, that the conflict continues even in the face of a clear and unassailable victory by Russia then a series of catastrophic events may then take place which causes the permanent or semi-permanent dissolution of the Ukrainian state. Russia will continue to mount attacks in response to those engaged in by what may well soon be a predominant mercenary army of Poles, Georgians, Lithuanians, British and American "sheepdipped" troops wearing unidentifiable uniforms.
The region of Ukraine known as Galicia would likely come under Polish control as a 'protectorate' under a "purely temporary" peacekeeping mandate. Hungary and Romania would also be likely to do the same as what remains of Ukraine is carved up. What Belarus would do if Polish troops enter Galicia is uncertain but a new war in that region may well begin.
If NATO then steps in to again rearm Ukraine, if the present regime in Kiev insists "for national security reasons" on staying in power, and if attacks on the new Russian territories continue unabated then I think you can imagine what all this would portend. Ukraine would descend even further into a fractured land constantly at war with all the attendant suffering that will bring. Ukraine would begin to resemble the status that the USA and its allies forced on Syria for well over a decade.
In short, the regime and its masters need to think long and hard about their tactical failures of the past and those arising in the near future and begin making plans for the ultimate victory of Russia in achieving its aims and goals and reconciling themselves to acceding to them. No peaceful future for Ukraine or its sovereignty or security exist in the absence of this recognition and the acceptance of total defeat on the part of both Kiev and Washington.
