    A 14-year old girl terrifies the West and Ukraine–Faina Savenkova faces censorship

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on September 29, 2023 (more by Donbass Insider)  |

    In the three years since she began publishing texts about her life as a child in the midst of the war in Donbass, Faina Savenkova has often met with indifference from the international and Western institutions that so extol the principles of democracy and human rights.

    The war in Ukraine: Towards the collapse of the West’s reputation

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on July 15, 2023 by Oleg Nesterenko (more by Donbass Insider)  | (Posted Jul 19, 2023)

    After the bipolar world that existed from the end of the Second World War until the implosion of the Soviet Union in December 1991, the current conflict on the territory of Ukraine is the point of gravity in the process of transition between two great eras of contemporary history: the old—unipolar—that has lasted for the last 30 years and the new—multipolar—post-hegemonic, that came into being at the end of February 2022.

  •  | THE WAR IN UKRAINE IS THE WAR FOR THE DOLLAR | MR Online

    The war in Ukraine is the war for the dollar

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on July 5, 2023 by L’Eclaireur des Alpes (more by Donbass Insider)  | (Posted Jul 13, 2023)

    Oleg Nesterenko: “Moscow has really threatened the status of the American dollar on the international stage, and therefore the whole American economy behind it.”

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on June 29, 2023 by L’Éclaireur des Alpes (more by Donbass Insider)  | (Posted Jul 12, 2023)

    Oleg Nesterenko: “When we talk about the reasons that led the Russians to intervene militarily in Ukraine, root causes and triggers are often confused, especially in the Western press. The triggers are mistaken for the causes. As for the causes, we don’t even talk about them, or we just talk nonsense. It’s important to distinguish one from the other.”

    Question in the void

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on November 12, 2022 by Faina Savenkova (more by Donbass Insider)  | (Posted Nov 15, 2022)

    I have long wanted to ask media outlets like the New York Times, the Washington Post, and many others that consider themselves independent, how they feel about the Ukrainian nationalist website “Myrotvorets” entering and posting personal information, including addresses, phone numbers, and bank accounts of American citizens in its database.

  •  | DIRTY BOMB DESTRUCTION OF KAKHOVKA DAM  UKRAINES DANGEROUS GAMES | MR Online

    Dirty bomb, destruction of Kakhovka Dam-Ukraine’s dangerous games

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on October 25, 2022 by Christelle Néant (more by Donbass Insider)  | (Posted Oct 26, 2022)

    For several days now, the threat of Ukraine using a dirty bomb or destroying the Kakhovka dam has been causing an extremely dangerous rise in tension. By allowing Kiev to do whatever it wants, even the worst war crimes and terrorist acts, the West is encouraging Ukraine to continue playing with fire, at the risk of provoking a disaster that would go beyond the country’s borders.

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on September 26, 2022 by Faina Savenkova (more by Donbass Insider)  | (Posted Sep 28, 2022)

    What about UNICEF, the UN, Amnesty International? Have they said anything about the children killed by the Ukrainian army? No, of course not. Like in the Myrotvorets story. They know.

    On 6 September 2022, a conference organized by the Anti-Repression Foundation entitled “Information Gestapo: Ukrainian nationalist website Mirotvorets lists are used to suppress free speech and repress journalists” took place in Moscow”.

    Myrotvorets should not exist, and its owners are not held accountable for their actions

    On 4 August 2022, Amnesty International published a report denouncing the tactics of the Ukrainian army that endangered civilians, in other words, Ukrainian war crimes (even if AI does not dare to call a spade a spade)

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on July 11, 2022 by Donbass Insider (more by Donbass Insider)  | (Posted Jul 14, 2022)

    If you ask most teenagers in the United States or Europe what they like to do, they’ll probably tell you they enjoy playing video games like “Call of Duty,” where they pretend to be at war. For them, war is a game. An entertaining way to spend their time after school or on weekends.

    Originally published: Donbass Insider on June 21, 2022 by Christelle Néant (more by Donbass Insider)  | (Posted Jun 23, 2022)

    Julian Assange, Alina Lipp and Anne-laure Bonnel are three journalists who are paying a high price for telling the truth in the West: attempts to suffocate them financially, followed by censorship, threats of imprisonment or imprisonment altogether, and even physical and psychological torture in the case of Assange.

    Not only does France provide Ukraine with Caesar guns that it uses to bomb civilians in Donbass, but we learn via Ukrainian documents, which were hacked and published at the end of May 2022, that it also provided it with OGR F1 cluster munitions, prohibited by international treaties signed by Paris, and which the country announced as destroyed several years ago!
