Several weeks ago Putin invited the world's press to tour the Russian captured city of Pokrovsk. This was when Zelensky was telling the world there were only a handful of Russians in the city. Not a single western journalist accepted the invite.

A few days ago a group of Russian journalists went to Pokrovsk. The reason there were no western journalists is because there aren’t any, they’re all political activists.

As Noam Chomsky implied in his interview with the BBC in the late 1990s, mainstream media does not employ actual journalists, only propagandists who hold the ‘correct’ sociopolitical views.

During the Vietnam war there were dozens of western journalists with the army and a queue for job applicants. In the Ukrainian war there are no mainstream journalists anywhere, zero, no MSM journalists from any western country at all.

The only way that could be is if western politics (especially western European) has been captured and is controlled by a group with a single globalist narrative.

The news can only come from government sources (they learnt much during the Covid scam).

So the interview linked below with a Portuguese part-time journalist who went close to the front on the Russian side is very interesting. He also got to interview Columbian volunteers and found a contrast between those who went to the Russian side and those who went to the Ukrainian side.

Peace talks continue today but Zelensky remains determined to offer nothing in return for peace so there will be no agreement.

So true.

Yermak office search finds $2.6 Billion in bank transfers to offshore accounts and $14 Million in cash. Reminder, he was just the number 2 in the Zelensky crime syndicate.

‘Source: Martin Jay, award-winning British journalist based in Morocco where he is a correspondent for The Daily Mail (UK).’

In a survey conducted by the Foundation for Democratic Initiatives and Kyiv International Sociological Institute, 78% of Ukrainian respondents blame Zelensky for the corruption. The Kyiv Independent has also detailed how Zelensky is entwined with former chief of staff Yermak.

Meanwhile the Ukrainian counter attack on Kupiansk seems to be a repeat of the tactic to throw men into an attack during negotiations in an attempt to sway the Americans and will soon reveal itself to be unsustainable as per the other PR ops once Russia moves troops to counter the attack.

Ukrainians who copied Zelensky’s trip to the sign on the outskirts of Kupainsk just 2 days after found the area swarming with Russian drones and the sign itself not looking as per Zelensky’s selfie pic, presumably because it was taken days earlier when the Kupiansk PR stunt was being planned.

On the Black Sea and after Russia destroyed a Turkey registered ship in Odessa port in retaliation for the 4 internationally registered tankers believed to be part of the so called Russian ‘shadow fleet’ were attacked. Turkey demanded that Ukraine stop the sea drone attacks on oil tankers.

This sinking of ships is another moronic plot by the French and the British to cripple the Russian economy. There are thousands of oil tankers and if there is a reduced supply there will be greater rewards for shipping the oil which would be convoyed by Russian warships.

And back to the never ending peace talks with Zelensky demanding a ceasefire and ‘NATO type’ guarantees from the US. So Ukraine into NATO just named something different.

So the war will continue because NATO was why the war started in the first place.

An interesting new development on the battlefronts is that Russia has started bombing Odessa, that’s from 200km away in Crimea. FAB glide bomb tech is leaping ahead. Far cheaper to produce than missiles, rockets and drones, only beaten by missiles for damage done to the target, and almost impossible to shoot down.

Great news! For the first time in history, a Ukrainian underwater drone was used to destroy the Russian diesel-electric boat of the 636.6 class Varshavyanka in the port of Novorossiysk. The drone with 1 thousand kg of explosives destroyed this boat.

Zelensky puts one over Trump boasts the Times Radio YouTube Channel by agreeing that Ukraine will not keep demanding NATO inclusion but will instead demand NATO ‘type’ guarantees.

Exactly as I said would happen several days ago, what a card. He’s a clever little sausage isn’t he.

Meanwhile he’s losing 700 sq km of territory, 30,000 casualties and 20,000 desertions every month.

But don’t look over there, look into my eyes! I’m staging a counter attack somewhere, that’s the really important thing. That’s what the news needs to cover.

Zelensky is making $1 Billion a year out of this war.

(Yarmak was making over half a billion a year)

There is absolutely no incentive for Zelensky to see it end.

The EU has no money to keep the shit show on the road so the frozen Russian assets must be stolen.

And because the EU also needs the war to continue, they will be.

Zelensky is already calculating a carve up that will allow for the war to run for as long as possible which means not taking all the money at once but systematically over years.

‘Ukraine President @ZelenskyyUa later stated he expects to receive $40 to $45 billion euros per year from these confiscated assets.’

‘ZELENSKYY: "There are two scenarios: 1 – if the war ends, the funds will go toward rebuilding the country; 2 – if aggression continues ( ), Ukraine expects €40–45 billion annually for defense and security."

Reminder that the EU leadership knows exactly what they’re doing, it’s deliberate.

‘This precedent, if carried out, means all nations with sovereign wealth funds [held in the west] (Japan, Asia countries, Saudi Arabia, et al) will now look upon those funds as “at risk” investments forever.’

‘Western asset holdings will forever be viewed through this political prism.’


At the talks yesterday the US has agreed to some type of NATO like guarantees but are not well specified.

The talks were held up by lack of agreement from Ukraine on giving up any territory.

Witkoff doesn’t seem to appreciate yet that if Putin does not see a resolution of the root causes then there will be no ceasefire and so anything in the agreement is null and void.

Russia is in this for the long haul while the US just wants a quick ending.

The Americans seem to believe that Russia really does have huge losses, they really don’t, as is demonstrated by their blatant huge firepower advantage seen every day.

Russia cannot have 10x the fire power but be taking 10x the losses as Zelensky insists, it's blatant nonsense.

Add to that all the circumstantial evidence such as Russia has queues of volunteers while Ukraine is desperately dragging people off the streets, soldiers know the truth and when they talk word spreads.

Commentators are saying that the US intel agencies are deliberately handing false information to the politicians because of their own neocon political leanings and that Tulsi Gabbard who was supposed to oversee this information has been frozen out.


Russia will get Ukraine as a neutral state, full 4 oblasts of east Ukraine, regime change in Kiev, Ukraine small army size, Ukraine constitution change.

If not at the negotiating table then on the battlefield which they have been preparing for for years, socially, economically and militarily.

There is nothing out there that can stop them, not the Ukrainians or the US or the Europeans or all three combined.

For Russia this was a war to counter an existential threat while for the others it was a money making scam and that’s why Russia prepared for a long term military confrontation while the west and the Ukraine leadership didn’t bother.

Kaja Kallas starts sanctions against Swiss citizens. EU authoritarianism goes full Nazi mode as Kallas starts weeding out ‘wrong think’ people.

Free speech is dead, only the party narrative will be heard no matter how blatantly and demonstrably wrong it may be.

Democracy has of course already gone, in the UK we’ve had 4 PMs in just over 4 years and every one was exactly the same. It doesn’t matter who or what party you vote for, you can only ever get a politician who represents the globalist elites and carries out their agenda.

On Kallas’ sanctioned list is Colonel Jacques Baub, a retired Swiss Army Intel Officer who is a specialist in Russian army tactics and has written several books on the subject.

According to Kallas this makes a ‘Putin propagandist’.

I have posted many podcast interviews with him on this WW3 thread and he really only points out any obvious EU lack of strategic thinking in its dealings with Russia.

Hopefully the people will finally wake up and this will be the beginning of the end of the EU, though the EU is committing a slow suicide anyway.

It remains to be seen if the EU takes down the sovereign states with it.

Very interestingly Kallas has not listed any Americans in her sanctions list and there are many who have been much more critical of some of the EU’s decisions than Baub ever was.

Others Swiss who have been sanctioned say they were deplatformed, de-banked and disallowed from travelling on or over EU territory which surrounds Switzerland.


On the battlefronts and independent mappers say the Russians have taken 60% of Huliapole and 45% of Konstantinovka.

In Kupiansk, the city that is under Ukrainian counter attack, the Ukrainians claimed taking back the whole city but there has been a curious lack of video confirmation.

Russian army headquarters said 2 days ago that the Ukrainian claims were false and yesterday released geolocated videos showing that Russian troops still control most of the city.

And in the surrounded city of Myrnohrad the Russians say there is no longer any line of Ukrainian defence, only isolated pockets of resistance within the city centre.
