Patrick keeps saying he’s the only reporter on the ground in Mariupol. But obviously, it would be easier for the Russian ‘shill’ reporter to operate freely among the invading force. The Russians have been shooting other journalists like Brent Renaud.
RUSSIA’S FAKE NEWS JOURNALISTS IN UKRAINE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_utjirAJU9k
Here we look at how Russia, uses English speaking people from western countries, to spread its fake news about Ukraine. To achieve this, these propagandists, pretend to be independent and crowd-funded.
Propaganda spewed out by Patrick Lancaster is designed specifically to sow division and hatred towards #Ukraine and the #Ukrainian military. With that in mind, I ask YouTube to allow the use of video clips/images of Lancaster. All show him whilst (working) illegally in eastern Ukraine for Russia.
There has never been any “independent” journalists allowed to report from or live in what is Russian occupied eastern Ukraine. People who’ve been critical of Russia’s sham Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics have been arrested, imprisoned, tortured and in some case murdered.
And if Lancaster is truly an “independent “ chap, why has he never once reported anything positive about Ukraine, or its people and military? Why has he never reported on the daily shelling of Ukraine held territory by Russia’s forces or the so-called DPR & LPR forces?
And lastly, why has he never visited Ukraine held territory to report from there? Try to find once of his videos, or tweets which show Ukraine or its military in a positive light.
And if proof be needed, Lancaster is directly linked to Russia’s heinous false flag attacks, which Putin used as an excuse to fully invade Ukraine on Feb 24th: he has been shown involved in the use of corpses for a false flag attack on Ukraine. Corpses taken from a morgue, dumped in a car and then set on fire in an attempt to blame Ukraine’s military for an bomb attack.
The article will show you, he’s in no way a journalist, or anything close to one https://glasnostgone.org/2022/02/22/i...
And check out how Lancaster is linked to Russia’s appalling #MH17 disinformation propaganda. This involved the looting of the crash site on human remains and then the repeated planting of human remains at the #MH17 crash site. This done to discredit the official JIT crash investigation.

Russia bought the Crimea from the Ottoman Empire in the 1780s. The Crimea belongs to Russia.
You are correct! Patrick Lancaster spews out Pro-Russian Propaganda.
HISTORY OF CRIMEA:
Crimea (or the Tauric Peninsula, as it was called from antiquity until the early modern period) was colonised by the Greeks and then ruled by the Persians followed by the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and finally successor states including the Empire of Trebizond and Principality of Theodoro.
During this whole period the urban areas were Greek-speaking and eventually eastern Christian (Eastern Orthodox). During the collapse of the Byzantine state some cities fell to its creditor, the Republic of Genoa, until eventually all were absorbed by the rapidly rising Ottoman Empire.
During this time the interior was occupied by invading steppe nomads and empires, such as the Cimmerians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Crimean Goths, Alans, Bulgars, Huns, Khazars, Kipchaks, Mongols, and the Golden Horde. Crimea and adjacent territories were united in the Crimean Khanate, a sometime dependent of the Ottomans, during the 15th to 18th century, and often raided south Russia for slaves. In 1783, Crimea was ANNEXED by the Russian Empire as the result of the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774). In 1774, the Khanate was proclaimed independent under the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca with the Ottomans,but was then RE-CONQUERED by the Russian Empire in 1783.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Crimea became an autonomous republic within the Russian SFSR in the Soviet Union. During World War II, Crimea was downgraded to the Crimean Oblast and the entirety of one of its indigenous populations, the Crimean Tatars, were deported to Central Asia, an act that was formally recognized as a genocide by Ukraine and three other countries between 2015 and 2019.
In 1954, the Soviet Union TRANSFERRED CRIMEA to the Ukrainian SSR from the Russian SFSR. The transfer to Ukraine was made by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. The year 1954 happened to mark the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Pereyaslav, which was signed in 1654 by representatives of the Ukrainian Cossack Hetmanate and Tsar Alexis of Russia.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was reestablished as an independent state in 1991, and most of the peninsula was reorganized as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, and the city of Sevastopol retained its special status within Ukraine.
The 1997 Partition Treaty on the Status and Conditions of the Black Sea Fleet partitioned the former Soviet Black Sea Fleet and ALLOWED Russia to continue basing its fleet in Crimea: both the Ukrainian Naval Forces and Russia’s Black Sea Fleet were to be headquartered in Sevastopol.
Ukraine EXTENDED Russia’s lease of the naval facilities under the 2010 Kharkiv Pact in exchange for further discounted natural gas.
Like I said, the Crimea belongs to Russia and has since the time of Catharine the Great.
Maybe you’re right and it’s just a massive coincidence that he travels to every single place where the Russians are fomenting conflict and spreads their propaganda in English along with his Russian-speaking pro-Putin partner.
