A television bombshell

"Ukrainian TV Mark Franchetti, war correspondent of The Sunday Times, reports in Ukrainian TV in a life program about the events in Novorossiya. ...

"Ukrainians in the West of the country could hear the truth about the East of their country for the first time in this program ON FRIDAY (13.06.2014).
"Mark Franchetti, war correspondent of The Sunday Times, reports in Ukrainian TV in a life program about the events in Novorossiya.
"About the self-defence forces he reports that they are not Russian mercenaries and agents, but absolutely normal people, who are set to protect their cities after the horror of Odessa and the bombardment of their cities through the Ukrainian army and allied groups. They are normal people without heavy armament or specific military experience, otherwise the fights would run much differently, reports the experienced war correspondent. Franchetti tells that the vast majority of fighters are inhabitants of Donbass and other regions of Ukraine. [Yes there are other groups helping them, on both sides by the way.]
"After that, the representatives of this dismal Kiev government as usually twist and turn everything and state that Russia is behind everything. The target is to fool the people and to keep them in line. In order to defend their position, they even accuse Mark Franchetti to be working for Putin. A pattern that we know all too well".

The British journalist tells the truth on Ukranian TV: who really fights in Donbass.

My face is pressed so hard into the ground I can taste the dirt. I am wearing a brand new flak jacket and helmet, but I feel completely exposed.
Around me a fierce battle is raging between Ukrainian soldiers defending a border crossing with Russia and pro-Moscow separatists fighting to capture it. Dmitry Beliakov, a photographer for this paper, and I are caught in the middle. …...

  1. They (Ukrainian nationalistic media) even accuse us people of Wellington who came for a peaceful demonstratrion under the slogans "Save Donbass Children" to draw the public attention to the humanitarian catastrophe in Donbass as being the "Putin's agents". So according to them if you are for peace, against war, for truth, against war propaganda angainst killing children and civillians means that you are the" Putin's agent". If we follow that logic Putin has 90% of the world population as his agents!
