Civil War in Ukraine: Western Empire vs Russia

[Siberia]

Something creepy is going on in Donetsk again: militia claim that a plant has been blown up. It's not exactly clear which one: a military, a chemical or both..
There are a number of videos, this one for example:

https://youtu.be/xSyNusxBaFo

The local authorities claim that the radiation level is normal as of yet. Also, there are videos and photos of some strange circled chemtrails in Donetsk skies (whether or not it's connected with the blown up plant is unclear also):

On Lada Ray's blog she has published a correspondence between to Russian citizens belonging to the liberal, pro Western, "pro-US democracy" etc type of person. She received the report from a Paul Plane of The Plane Truth show which must be this one: _http://timemonkradio.com/threads/the-plane-truth.281/ The writer is a Alexey Sakhnin, you can search him on Google, and apparently he is a writer or journalist living in Sweden, it seems. The Russian original is here: _http://rosuznik.org/letters/1736
Anyhow, with this introduction I post a few excepts to give you a taste of the translation:

First of all, just above the following title, there is a link to the Facebook group Truth about situation in Ukraine. I looked up the "About" info and there were links to: _http://novorossia.today and _http://www.ustream.tv/channel/Новороссия... Considering that Kristina Rus is listed as translator of the articles and since this name comes up on the FB group, I guess the translation of the letter was originally posted on the FB group, but this group is so active that I have not been able to trace it yet, but I will post some excerpts from that FB to back up the letter

RUSSIAN OPPOSITION ACTIVIST LETTER: THE TRUTH ABOUT KIEV REGIME
A letter from one Russian liberal opposition activist (Alexey Sakhnin) to another (Alexey Gaskarov), who was arrested for inciting violence and causing harm to police officers during the riots of May 6, 2012 in Moscow, regarding his trip to Ukraine:
This is a grim picture. It turned out to be much worse and intense than I imagined.

“Alex, hello, buddy. You know, ever since I got your last letter, I took a trip to Ukraine. Spent there 9 days. And now I have a lot of live experience about how things are arranged over there. I’ll try to tell it without superfluous emotions, though it is difficult.
[...]
Secondly, you know, the propaganda in Ukraine is even worse. After many years, when the country had relative pluralism, watching what is happening now is very bizzare. Well it is clear – all channels, newspapers and websites inciting a wild national patriotic hysteria. Well, let’s say it is a side effect of war. But what about facts? We visited the editorial office of one of the most moderate websites. The type of people from Lugansk working in Kiev, some former leftists out there involved. They claim to be against torture, kidnappings and so on. But on the wall hangs a large poster on which are written the aims and principles of editorial policy. The first among them “to create a conducive atmosphere for ATO ” (anti-terrorist operation). That means – fueling the war. Accordingly, the facts are selected for publication. All that is conducive for the “atmosphere” — is published without validation. Everything else is simply not published. Forget about the TV box. NTV and Lifenews could learn from them.

Well, propaganda is a military tool. Now about the occupation. I was not in the zone of ATO. Whether Russian troops are there, I don’t know. We were deep in the homefront. In Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov. Alex, I swear to you, what’s happening over there is a civil war. Without any intervention. The internal war. The worst — in Odessa.

7 out of 10 ‘ordinary people’, i.e., taxi drivers, pensioners who rent rooms for visitors, waitresses, passengers of public transport repeat the passwords: ‘junta’, ‘fascists’. I dont have any stats, and in this situation it would be impossible, but it feels like its a majority in the city. And you would not imagine the degree of tension. Typical words of one taxi driver: “We’re just looking forward to when it will be possible to take revenge.”

And, on the other hand, I gets more interesting. We were interviewing the Right Sector (I went there as a Swedish journalist). They are 18-year-old slacker enthusiasts. A complete copy of those who came to the LF in the 2011-2012. The same naive and inexperienced romantics. But they are reading not Kagarlitsky, but Yarosh. And their heroes are Mussolini and Franco. They say “those who don’t like the new Ukraine — suitcase, train station, Russia”. This is a no nonsense fascist organization, which is supplied with green youth in abundance. But it’s not the worst. The worst thing is the moderates.

I’m not saying names, but I have all the interviews. Picture this: a nice office in the centre of the city. At the gates is an armored car. In the courtyard – a bunch of meatheads with machine guns. And the map of Ukraine. They are the ‘community activists’. Collecting money from businesses for patriotic purposes [racketeering]. They have a great system. Enough money and ammunition and their own territorial defence battalion and a bunch of armed guys on call. Think about it — they’re nobody, they have no official status. But they have real power: money, weapons, organization. And no official authority can do anything against them. They are the moderates. “We hate Ukrainian nationalists, they are provocateurs.” But I asked them, “you have half the city of people who disagree, how will you live with them? And he says to me, verbatim: “For them we have a compromise. They sit quietly at home. If they want to talk about the ‘junta’, they say a whisper to the toilet bowl. If they go out on the streets, we will start shooting “.

You know, Alex, but it is real fascism. Without the clowns with swatsikas. And Odessa and other cities have sworms of these guys.

And the capacity of civil dialogue is limited to this: “We’ll shoot.” And they have weapons, money, organization. And it’s not empty threats. They already shot. In broad daylight.

Here are a few news items from the FB group, where the above translator is active.

Jewish community of Odessa announced about plans to write a letter to the World Jewish Congress in NY and president Poroshenko, requesting a diasarming and disbanding of the Right Sector. "The right to use force should be reserved for state entities, like police and army" - said the leader of the Jewish community of Odessa Michael Miman, saying that attacks on jewish people have intensified in Odessa region, culminating in yesterday's attack on a jewish parliament member Netstor Shufrich.

But will Poroshenkon be able to do anything when he can say this:

"What powerful vaccination received Kiev, Ukraine and the whole world against fascism, against the destruction of people, against the creation of innocent victims. And Ukraine will never tolerate racial discrimination, resurgence of fascism, persecution on the basis of national identity, splitting the country by language, religion or any other grounds," - said Poroshenko at Baby Yar ceremony yesterday.

And do this:

Kiev junta created a website to serve as online database of 'separatists' and their 'colaborators' - people who help them with informational and financial support. Another words, anyone who has an opinion, different from the junta - will be subject to prosecution. Patriotic Ukrainians are encouraged to update the database with any suspicious profiles.

And the question remains if the former Israeli army soldiers in Ukraine will help the Jews in Odessa with the Right Sector problem when:

Meanwhile in Ukraine ex-soldiers of Israel Army created Jewish battalion "Matilan" for fight against Novorossia:

And what is the sentiment with regard to NATO?

NATO as main sponsor and master of Ukrainian fascism:
Flag of NATO was waving by fascist above Ukrainian flags, after destruction of Lenin statue.

This photo was made at 28th September, after destruction of Lenin statue in the city Kharkov. Man in center is Igor Miroshnichenko, one of heads of fascists party Svoboda, he originally from city Sumi, western Ukraine.
In fact most part of "Kharkov activists" in that day were from West and Center of Ukraine. They broke Lenin statue and fascist, who was in top part of statue began to wave flag of NATO.
You can to see it from 1.19 of video, this is very symbolic.
US NATO playing big role in war of Kiev junta against Novorossia.

The Western medias have been quiet, but in Ukraine the situation is not quiet or calm.

Today children in Donetsk started their school work, one month behind schedule. And this morning Ukrainian army repeatedly shelled many parts of the Donetsk city. It’s reported about 8 killed civilians at least, many wounded.

Also 57th school building was injured, 2 persons are killed, 3 wounded (adults, not children).

I don't know about you, but what takes place in Ukraine is really sickening, also after the socalled cease-fire.

A report appeared in a Russian languaged Latvian news site _http://www.ves.lv/rus/novosti/graudinsh-bojcy-azova-na-donbasse-nasiluyut-nesovershennoletnix/ which has poorly translated and put up on Truth from Ukraine FB group

"Ejnars Graudinsh, Latvian human rights activist: the fighters of "Azov" raping minors

Ejnars Graudinsh, Latvian human rights activist with a group of experts of the OSCE visited the mass graves in the Donetsk region. In an interview to "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" he admitted that he was shocked by the testimonies of women from the village of Niznaya Krinka about criminal acts of Ukrainian volunteers from battalions "Azov" and "Donbass". According to them, the military gang-raped women, including minors and the elderly.

"We were approached by a group of women. They spoke very emotionally, literally wept. Said it all at once, then one by one. They said that mercenaries of the battalion "Azov" and "Donbass" subjected to frequent gang-raped all the women of the village. Victims of abuse became teenage girls 12 years and older women.

In front of me was one of those victims - 13-years old girl. Thin, weak, with haunted eyes. Her mother said that Ukrainian soldiers repeatedly raped her daughter. Mother's grief is beyond words. She literally screamed with horror "- pointed Graudinsh.

In addition, he was informed that fighters of ATO [all military of Kiev junta] send via mail stolen from village goods.

 

[thorbiorn]

Perhaps it is remembered that after the cease-fire the Junta went in with armoured vehicles and claimed the airport. The NAF could do nothing, but after shelling of civilian areas and the school that has changed according to this notice which was posted a about 2000 UTC

DONETSK AIRPORT IS TAKEN!

Update: 100% of Donetsk airport has been taken by NAF, according to our source in NAF. Also, junta suffered many casualties, none reported so far on the NAF side.

Also, Dnepropetrovsk judge hanged herself today, when she found out about the death of her son at the airport, who was on the junta side.

A source close to German government told Bloomberg, that if Donetsk airport or Mariupol will be taken, we can expect more sanctions on Russia!

Hmm...does this mean they already gave up on the other territory?

More sanctions, what!? I wonder if the airport entry after cease-fire was all a set-up?

 

[thorbiorn]

As I watched the video in the previous post about the Donetsk airport, I found a video with the Red Cross worker that was killed. This is a 18+ recording that gives an idea of what happened to 10.000 Ukrainian thanks to NATO/US/EU and their lackies in Kiev. The video basically just shows a dead body from different position. One can see his face and the burned cloth or was it torn off by an explosion? Then there is documentation for him being from the Red Cross and from Switzerland. May he rest in peace _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VplkJbGx-70

On a FB page called Ukraine: What is Really Happening there is this:

And there was this comparison between videos one made to promote the Kiev unrest and the current trouble en Hong Kong: _https://www.facebook.com/635301096544686/photos/a.635361596538636.1073741827.635301096544686/713283185413143/?type=1 In this post there is a comparison between the Hong Kongese: Please Help Hong Kong _https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vvxlGUki7U and this I Am a Ukrainian: _https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvds2AIiWLA If one listens to the "I Am a Ukrainian" again, it is chilling, the extent to which those she represented created exactly the situation she foretold would happen, if they did not get help.
On the one hand I support people who desire a more just society, on the other hand these sentiments gets kidnapped by other forces, because many of those who wish to change society apparently do not have enough knowledge of the world around them to avoid being hijacked.

Apart from the battle at the airport Thursday the 2. of October, (Maybe situation is changing again?) there has been some kind of ceasefire and how does that work. Here is a translation posted by Ayre, 2. October 2014, of an article that was published in Russian on _http://3mv.ru/publ/vojna_za_liniej_peremirija/3-1-0-31399 where it was posted on September 30, 2014. by Sertzov, and their source again is listed as _http://svpressa.ru which has the original article on _http://svpressa.ru/war21/article/99502/?rss=1 posted by Андрей Иванов (that is Andrei Ivanov) on September 30, 2014. If one needs, on the above pages one finds photos, but here is the text

From _http://en.voicesevas.ru/

War in the time of ceasefire
Kiev militants and Novorossia militia both turn to partisan tactics.



The necessity to uphold the formal ceasefire in Donbass region has forced Kiev and the People’s Republics to move towards the use of sabotage groups inside enemy territory. The reported number of such incursions grows every day, forcing the opposing sides to develop new countermeasures against this type of a threat.



The rhetoric used by Ukrainian politicians suggests that Kiev government is not backing down on the idea to retake Donbass. Hence the efforts to sabotage the economies of People’s Republics and to lessen the military potential and capabilities of the militia. According to the DPR press-centre, two electrical substations inside militia-controlled territory were blown up last Sunday.



According to captive soldiers of Ukraine’s National Guard, a group of 50 men, specifically trained to carry out terrorist attacks, was formed in Cherkasskaya Oblast. All members of the group are convicted criminals who have been promised amnesty in return for their services. Over the last few months, the Ukrainian side has carried out dozens of attacks on infrastructure, many of which lead to destruction of bridges and railroads.



At the same time, reports are coming in indicating an increase in partisan activities inside Kiev-controlled territory. Information about shipments of military equipment and ammunition from special militia units near Mariupol to anti-Maydan activists in Khersonskaya and Zaporozhskaya regions recently surfaced on the internet.



It appears that the authorities in Kiev are taking the threat of a real partisan war against them very seriously. That would explain why 400 volunteers from the so-called “Kherson self-defence” unit have been armed and are currently being trained to defend against attacks by sabotage groups. “First National” TV channel reported that in Kiev women are being trained to camouflage and survive in wooded areas. The volunteers are also asked to pay a fee of 200 grivnias to the instructors. There is a plan to offer such training in other Ukrainian cities.



The main question that remains unclear – can partisan tactics influence the political situation in Ukraine.



According to the co-chair of Novorossia People’s Front Vladimir Rogov, it is too early to talk about training special sabotage groups in Donbass region for action inside Kiev-controlled territories. But Ukrainian authorities should not expect an easy ride.



I am skeptical of the information about potential shipment of arms and armoured vests to partisan groups in Zaporozhe and Khersonschina. Such information helps the enemy by giving the authorities in Kiev grounds for repressions against our activists who have been using only peaceful means so far. But some of the partisans are actually armed. At least the ones who are integrated into Ukrainian security services.



Having said that, pinpoint strikes have already began. Recently, a “volunteer” who was collecting arms for the Ukrainian army was shot dead in Zaporozhe. On September 25th, an office collecting aid for the National Guard was set on fire in Mariupol. On the 26th, National Guard headquarters in Kharkov were fired at. And let’s not forget about fuel tanks and bridges that were blown up recently. I believe that the authorities in Kiev understand that we won’t let them breathe easy as long as they are on our land.



“SP”: Is the Resistance hoping for a political system change in occupied territories?



Let’s remember the Great Patriotic War (WWII). It didn’t matter how many trains were derailed or how many Gauleiters were killed, it would take regular Red Army units or large partisan units to actually change the situation. Destroying enemy forces is not enough, it is important to setup a system of civilian authorities which would be responsible for the normalization of day to day lives for the local population.



It is obvious that our resistance has made the authorities and security services very nervous. We can also see that even road cops are getting very anxious, which is leading to incidents such as the recent police beating of a driver who simply happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.



Governors and oligarchs are beefing up their private security services. They are living in constant fear, finding refuge in alcohol and narcotics. Zaporozhe and Dnepropetrovsk regions are great examples of this.



“SP”: Do partisan movements have the support of local population?



Even if you take just the Zaporozhe region, thousands are ready to fight. But they are all looking for a clear and intelligent direction, they don’t want to sacrifice themselves meaninglessly. Given proper coordination and leadership, they will rise up and fight alongside us. And the authorities feel this.



Another measure of the support we receive is a relatively new site “People’s Tribunal”. The site lists supporters of Ukrainian authorities. The first day after its launch, despite being absolutely unadvertised, it received close to half a million visits. The format of the information on the site suggests that a lot of it comes from sources within Ukrainian security services.



Millions of people have now effectively become partisans. Anyone intentionally not paying for utilities or withdrawing their funds from banks is fighting against the authorities. They are willing to live a few months, or even a year, in total poverty, limiting themselves, just to help bring closer the liberation of the country. And to help bring those who have fallen ill with the “Ukro-Nazism” virus to the proper facilities where starvation and cold will start them on the healing path.



“SP”: Minsk agreements suggest that Donbass will have its own system of authorities, while the rest of Ukraine will be controlled by the authorities in Kiev.



This scenario is impossible. It is important to remember that the agreement signed in Minsk was a memorandum, a simple preliminary document that states intentions, but does not actually bind anyone to any particular course of action. Right now fighting is continuing, dozens of people are dying – what ceasefire are we talking about? Novorossia will be from Kharkov to Odessa, or it won’t happen at all.



People are starting to rise up. This is why the authorities in Kiev are increasingly terrorizing the population. Another wave of the “war on monuments” is now under way. The authorities want to show that they are capable of winning, even if it is only within the information and media battleground.



According to the leading expert of the Centre for Military and Political Studies in MGIMO (Moscow State Institute of International Relations) Mikhail Alexandrov, only active involvement of Novorossia supporters all over Ukraine can change the situation in the country:



After the Minsk ceasefire agreement, when Novorossia armed forces were forced to stop their offensive, sabotage and partisan activities effectively remain as the only useful tactics for its supporters. Without an offensive on Kiev’s positions, People’s Republics will not be able to survive. Kiev is using the ceasefire to build up its troops. The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine has recently secretly ordered an “extraordinary pre-war preparation period”, a timeframe that the country will use to prepare itself and its armed forces for a war. It is important to force Ukrainian authorities to disperse their resources and get involved in many conflicts all over the country. Then Kiev will not be able to form a strong force against Donbass, and the entire regime will be on shaky ground.



The process of liberation of Ukraine will be speeding up. Partisan tactics allow for pinpoint strikes on the most important targets such as army headquarters or Security Service of Ukraine agents and offices. Other targets could be activists of political parties that support the regime in Kiev. Parties like “Svoboda” (Freedom) or the ones formed by Poroshenko and Timoshenko. Ammunition and equipment storage facilities could be other very important targets – strikes on these can paralyze the Ukrainian army. Foreign mercenaries and their bases. All of this will aid in forcing Kiev to lose control over the situation and the eventual fall of the regime.



“SP”: Security Service of Ukraine will not sit back and watch events unfold.



Of course, Kiev will not sit back and relax. Security Service of Ukraine is one of the major structures that the regime relies on. This is why it is especially important to carry out strikes against its agents, to ensure they are afraid to even leave their offices. Right now the opposite is happening. SSU is intimidating the opposition, but it should be the other way around. This will open new possibilities for resistance. The punitive regime needs to be destroyed, this is the only way they will stop terrorizing the population.



“SP”: Partisans need specially equipped facilities.



I believe that possibilities for partisan resistance exist under any conditions. Even in Arabic deserts. Bases with arms and ammunition can be setup in big cities. If the locals support the partisan movement, the fight will be a success.



“SP”: Mass support is not visible for now.



Yes, the majority of population is very passive. But you can always find people who are opposed to the regime. Some are against the authorities because their relatives were killed, some lost their possessions, others are joining the resistance based on ideological motives. Worsening economic situation speeds up the process. People are irritated by the political repressions, roadblocks, by armed National Guard thugs roaming the streets. During Second World War in France, the Germans were not overly rampant, locals lived alright and still there was resistance. I believe Ukrainian population has a lot more reasons to fight against the regime.



“SP”: Can the partisan movement develop into a real political force?



Partisans can destabilize the situation. Under such conditions Kiev will be losing control over the country. Especially if the resistance will be active all over Ukraine, even in Kiev, not just in a few regions. The regime will crumble and more and more regions will break away from Kiev. The authorities will not have enough troops to throw into every conflict zone. This will allow Donbass militia to start a new offensive and capture regions, which will become effectively free of Kiev authority. This way, the partisan movement and political change are interconnected.

Partisan war has a long history in Russia, here are just two articles about how it worked during WW 2: _http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/russian_resistance_movement.htm

Thx thornbiorn for your photo comparison which reminded me of possible "3rd party" involvement in Hong Kong (provocateurs, snipers to shoot both sides)... maybe Chinese already took care of that issue - but one could never know, especially Hong Kong being under Britain's governing for decades... "They" wouldn't have missed such an opportunity to produce some local troublemakers

Sorry for some off topic...

Just saw this video/article via facebook. It's in Russian, so I'm wondering if someone could translate it? Apparently it's about Right Sector slitting a police chief's throat somewhere in Ukraine, but the person who posted it didn't give any details. Warning: I do NOT recommend watching the video. Unlike ISIS, these bastards film the whole thing in gruesome detail. It's horrifying... But I would like to know what the article says about the incident: e.g., who the chief was, when it occurred, where, etc.

In the beginning of the video the Ukrainian national hymn is played. The person who was brutally killed in his own appartment was the former police chief of Donetsk. The woman on the bed is his wife who was tortured. The video was apparently uploaded to youtube but then deleted.

Having trouble verifying this. Allegedly the police chief is Kostyantyn Pozhydayev. This site says:
_http://www.nwodissident.com/?p=28

After an outrage, Right Sector claimed it was a “provocation”, yet did not explain how they obtained the video or why they uploaded it at all. Its authenticity seemed confirmed when a copy of the video was found on a memory chip of Irma Krat (entire chip available here), a Right Sector activist who was captured in Slavyansk on April 20. While there are no apparent reports of Pozhydayev’s death in the media, there are no reports of him alive either (and this story has gained a lot of traction in Ukraine).

But someone else linked to this: _http://mvs.gov.ua/mvs/control/donetsk/uk/publish/article/132494 showing that he gave a press conference a week or so after this video was uploaded. I can't find a picture of Pozhydayev to compare to the man in the video.

Then there's this, which allegedly shows that someone faked the video:

Mustafa Nayyem is responsible for recent staged videos about executions by Praviy Sector. His correspondence was hacked by Anon and it revealed some interesting details. And he calls himself a journalist? Please save and share http://ntv.livejournal.com/353029.html?nojs=1

This is how the KIEV JUNTA USES JOURNALISTS AND MASS MEDIA for their propaganda and psychological war!

Details of their collaboration in English as follows. Mustafa Nayyem (or Nayem) is a popular Ukrainian journalist and public figure, former journalist of newspaper "Kommersant-Ukrainy" and the TVi channel, currently working with the internet newspaper Ukrainskaya Pravda, also participates in the "Stop the censorship!" Ukrainian journalist movement and Hromadske TV project. In April 2013 he openly stated that he was not paid by politicians. However, as discovered by Anon, he was the one to FABRICATE VIDEOS FOR THE JUNTA'S INTERIOR MINISTER Arsen Avakov. On one of the videos a policeman is killed by people from the neo-nazi Right Sector. On the second one a Russian is hanged by the neo-nazis. The videos were fabricated to scare people and make them silent. Nayyem is also suspected to be the head of the special department working for the illegitimate authorities that is responsible for disinformation, propaganda and psychological war.
...
Nayyem: In search engines I see "Right Sector killing policeman", "Right Sector cutting throat". The video has spread well on the Internet.

Avakov: You worked just beautifully, as always. )) Well done!

Nayyem: Thanks again for your help with people.

There is an article on RT: _http://rt.com/op-edge/192544-media-coverage-ukraine-bias/ As it is a bit long, here comes only some excerpts l

A journalist’s duty is to inform. Have western press forgotten this in Ukraine?
Bryan MacDonald is a journalist, writer, broadcaster and teacher. He wrote for Irish Independent and Daily Mail. He has also frequently appeared on RTE and Newstalk in Ireland as well as RT.
[...]

Meanwhile in Germany, a country which, unlike the UK (and Russia) has, largely successfully, dealt with its sordid past, state-owned ARD came in from criticism from its own board this week. They found that “The station’s coverage had ‘given the impression of bias’ and appeared to be directed against ‘Russia and Russian standpoints.’”

According to the Hannover-based Telepolis, the report “criticizes the absence of any fundamental analysis of the negotiations between the European Union (EU) and Ukraine on the Association Agreement. It criticizes the fact that 'NATO’s political and strategic intentions' with regard to its policy of eastern enlargement were not raised. Nor was any critical analysis made of the legitimacy of the 'so-called Maidan council.’ The same applies to the 'role of the radical nationalist forces, particularly Svoboda' and their activities during the failure 'of the agreement to resolve the crisis in Ukraine of 21 February.’”

The "constitutional and democratic issues" involved in the removal of President Yanukovich and the role of right-wing forces in his overthrow were also not adequately investigated by ARD. In addition, there was no critical analysis of the role of politicians such as Yulia Tymoshenko and Vitaly Klitschko.

“The council also challenged the station’s coverage of the secession of Crimea from Ukraine. There was no proper investigation made of the procedure and legality of the Crimean referendum, its international legal status, the significance of popular participation in the vote, and the role of historical issues and the ethnic groups in Crimea in the secession process,” Telepolis continues. If other Western media was subjected to the rigorous examination foisted on ARD, one wonders how different coverage might become.

[...]

There is no doubt that sections of the Russian media are, often, guilty of hyperbolic reportage. However, much of the Ukrainian-media is completely one-sided propaganda. In a conflict situation, it’s the duty of the independent press, from nations not directly involved, to sift through the information (and disinformation) and produce a narrative which accurately describes the reality.

Too often, in this year’s Ukrainian turmoil, coverage has been completely of one hue, a yellow and blue one. This is wrong. It must stop.
