    Pavel Gubarev, a Russian political figure in Donbass, openly and freely describes his point of view to Russian media. Highlights include saying it's okay to kill up to five million Ukrainians in order to conquer Ukraine, it's acceptable to kill all of the Ukrainians if that's what it takes and he freely calls this genocide, like many Russians he makes numerous references to engaging NATO in a nuclear war if Russia is not allowed to reassemble their empire, etc. All in his own words without editorial narrative.

    The exposed nightmare in Ukraine-controlled Severodonetsk shocked the inhabitants of Donbass. The fears of people aren't unfounded: the facts emerging on the surface about the events in UAF-controlled territory is only a small fragment of the criminal canvas that is the present Ukrainian reality.As was reported, the Kiev Armed Forces, together with the Ukrainian authorities of Severodonetsk, organized a children's brothel in the city's boarding school. The so-called administration of the Severodonetsk general education boarding school for orphaned children forces minor pupils on both genders to perform sexual acts with customer-pedophiles from among the military personnel, militants of national battalions,...

    It was 9:00 am in the city of Slavyansk in eastern Ukraine, on 12 April 2014. A group of 52 armed men, about 80% of them Ukrainian citizens, stormed the city’s Interior Ministry building. The government policemen in the building opened fire on the armed men, but quickly surrendered to the larger force after they fired automatic weapons into the building. The armed men, led by the shadowy Russian Colonel Igor Strelkov, tore down the building’s Ukrainian blue and yellow flag. They raised the Russian white, blue, and red tricolor. Strelkov and his men formed the nucleus of a rebellion...

    The referendum ascertains three sequential decisions: secession of territories from Ukraine; formation of an independent state; and its entry into the Russian Federation as a subject. The referendum on September 23-27 in the Donbass and southern Kherson and Zaporozhye regions of Ukraine on their accession to Russian Federation is, prima facie, an exercise of the right of self-determination by the native population who reject the Western-backed regime change in Kiev in 2014 and the ascendancy of extreme nationalist forces with neo-Nazi leanings in the power structure. But it has other dimensions, too. In all probability, the referendum will overwhelmingly opt...

    Kilometre-long queues have formed at the Ukrainian-Russian border, which is controlled by militants from occupied Donbass and Russians. Huge queues have appeared on the border with Russia of people fleeing because of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counter-offensive. However, the Russians are simply not letting the collaborators through. Border guards have a clear instruction not to allow people with Russian passports issued in Ukraine's occupied territories to enter Russian territory. In particular, Russian soldiers and their families left the town of Svatove in Luhansk Region. Only soldiers of the so-called "people's militia" from among local residents stayed. Military expert Oleh Zhdanov...

    Since he started consolidating his rule in 1999, Putin has been always manufacturing conflicts artificially. Chechnya, Georgia, Syria. Each time he claimed he needs to defend "security" of Russia, which was difficult to object to. Everyone agrees Russia has the right to be secure The conflict in Ukraine is also artificial, manufactured. It started with the "little green men" taking over Crimea in 2014. It continued with FSB colonel crossing the border to launch the Russian insurgency. It continued with Russia funding and arming irredentists in Ukraine. It culminated with Russia launching the war of conquest in 2022. It's delusionary...
  • Is Russia LOSING Donbas? Pro-Putin war reporter says their troops 'can't push out Ukrainian forces' and are 'making a feat out of something that should be routine'

    Russia is struggling to make significant military gains in Ukraine's Donbas region because it is fighting Kyiv's forces one-on-one, a pro-Moscow reporter has said. War correspondent and Putin propagandist Aleksandr Sladkov made a rare admission of Russia's military struggles in Ukraine, speaking in a video posted to social media late on Monday. He said that Vladimir Putin's so-called special military operation was 'shamefully indecisive', that Russian troops 'can't push out Ukrainian forces', and that Moscow's armies are 'making a feat out of something that should be routine'. Sladkov, a journalist for Russia's state-run Russia-1 TV channel, has in the past...

    Ritteer claims the war is basically over and is in a mopping-up phase. Aside from the totally wretched ethics of the entire business, the US siding with Nazis against Christians, there is a question of the impact this war will have on Western economies. The war will leave Russia in control of all the main choke points of the world's food systems. The idea of Breadline-Joe Biden sanctioning Russia by denying them Western financial services is beyond ridiculous, i.e. did you ever try to put katsup or barbeque sauce on a financial service and EAT it?? Russia is sanction-proof;Russia, China,...
