Welcome to the peace initiative for Ukraine in which you can contibute by raising your awareness as well as your consciousness[+] and spirit to the modes[+] of neutrality[*], decency, respectfulness, wisdom[*], objectivity, mastery of the intellect, surrender (ego and mind to God’s will), and finally peace (inner then outer). To properly grasp everything, we recommend reading the articles of this peace initiative in the order that we[*] designed it, which is listed in the Contents. So if you haven’t read the previous articles, we urge you to do it, please. Did you read the Intro to this “Beware of Propaganda” segment? Please, do so for a better grasp of the topic of this article.
Is there a single thing that’s not Russia’s fault? Will they try the „Epstein was a Russian spy“ thing? And if it rains on Mars, is it all Russia's fault?
One of the reasons why people don't live in peace and prosperity is because they judge and despise various people, and most often those who don't deserve it at all. Human ignorance, brainwashing, and prejudices plunge people into low modes of consciousness (contempt, hatred, blaming...), which lower their overall level of consciousness and thus their level of well-being.
For example, many people despise or even hate Russians based on propaganda or lies. Read about it here, and based on that, you can then consider how many other false beliefs you have about those you despise that lead you to live in contempt and hatred (rather than inner peace), and thus making you suffer from anxiety, depression, discomfort, and get into trouble.
Inner peace brings about the outer peace, the world peace.
When warning about Western propaganda aimed at craftily blemishing Russia, we need to also warn about some of the significant accusations that are used to make a case for Russia or Putin being evil but all of which turned out to be false and meant to deceive the public so that it would jump on board with supporting the war against Russia in Ukraine.
A full-scale blame game and demonization of Russia started in 2014 after Russia peacefully annexed Crimea (after Crimeans declared independence from Ukraine), which could be easily corroborated and amplified after Russia started its SMO1][+] in February 2022 (due to being provoked to protect millions of ethnic Russians in Ukraine). Russia has been blamed not just for the alleged “unprovoked invasion” but for everything else possible.
With a selective and manipulative approach (many unsubstantiated allegations that are based on the blatant distortion of facts and fraudulent arguments), Ukraine with its allies blamed also Russia for military crimes committed by its own armed forces conducting false flag operations2[+] – such as in Poland[+], Bucha[+][+], Mariupol[+][+][+][+][+], Kramatorsk[+][+], Kremenchuk[+], and the Transfiguration Cathedral in Odessa[+] – all of which have been debunked and expected[+] – designed to stage bloody incidents to demonize Russia in the eyes of the international community and create an emotional background to swing foreign states and international bodies into adopting anti-Russian political decisions.
Listen to this: after long investigations, they still do not know who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, who killed the riot police officers during Kyiv Maidan revolution in 2014, who exactly poisoned Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko during the Orange Revolution in 2004, who poisoned the wife of Chief of the Intelligence of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov in November 2023, and so many other unsolved cases, but they somehow knew without a doubt even without an investigation and just minutes after it was done, who killed Navalny and the culprits of all the cases that we are going to list now! Draw your own conclusions.
Without a shred of evidence, without any fact-checking, relying on mere allegations from Kyiv regime3, anti-Russian Western media and authorities blame Russians for:
12 more fakes listed below (Nord Stream, missile hit Poland, care house in Stara Krasnianka in July 2022, Dnipro residential building airstrike in January 2023, beheading a Ukrainian POW, Kakhovka Dam, undermining Western unity, feud between Kyiv and Warsaw, failure of the Ukr. 2023 counteroffensive, Swedes burning Qur’an, dead dolphins)
“Russia did it” from 2014-2021 (Odesa massacre in May 2014, Vrbětice ammunition warehouse explosions in the Czech Republic in October and December 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 crash in July 2014, meddling in the 2016 US presidential election, “Havana syndrome” since 2016, poisoning of Skripals in England in March 2018, disinformation in the 2020 US presidential election regarding Hunter Biden's laptop, ice skating champion Kamila Valieva doping, July 2023 riots in France)
“Putin did it” narrative (killed Ukrainian ballet star, Nord Stream sabotage, kidnapping Ukrainian children, the Hamas attack, inflation in the US, killing Navalny, ignoring the US warning of terrorist attack at "Crocus City Hall")
Russia is 'weaponizing' everything (over 70 things listed with sources)
The Mariupol Maternity Hospital Bombing
➡ Mariupol maternity hospital bombing was debunked here[+][+][+][+][+] – on 9 March 2022, Russia was blamed for targeting civilians including babies where “miraculously” just one pregnant woman was killed but was debunked by a key witness – a pregnant woman there photographed[ꚛ][ꚛ] by the Associated Press, Marianna Vyshemirskaya (maiden name Podgurskaya), turned out to be a Russian pro-Putin[»] beauty blogger
– she stated later in a video[»] (must watch!) and elsewhere[+] that as a pregnant[ꚛ][ꚛ][ꚛ][ꚛ] patient there, she witnessed that there was no air raid or bombing but internal explosion and that Ukrainian Azov soldiers were at the hospital – which actually made it a military, not civilian target anyway.
Other Mariupol locals and witnesses, like Nikolay state[+] that he saw with his own eyes how the maternity hospital was transformed into a military position and a firing position by the fighters of the Azov regiment.
If Russians bombed it, how come only one person died?! Marianna said that the AFU demanded everyone to leave the hospital on 6 March (but not everyone followed their order), that they inconsiderately took the food that was cooked for pregnant women, that there were two explosions but there was no airstrike and they heard no airplanes and that nearby explosions were caused by Ukrainian artillery shells, puncturing the Kyiv’s narrative of a Russian airstrike.
Marianna was the only witness the AP and Kyiv had but she later debunked their fake news. She told that the hospital had been turned into a base of operations by Ukrainian military forces and was not targeted in any Russian airstrike at all, but Western media deliberately omitted to mention that in their reporting, as she said that in their report, they did not include her interview in which she said that.
Further proof it was fake news is the fact that Ukrainians classified her as an "Enemy of Ukraine"[+] putting her on the notorious Myrotvorets list[+] a.k.a. the Kill List claiming she is a traitor, a Russian collaborator. Moscow also claimed[+] the building no longer served as a healthcare facility but was serving as a military base for nationalists and denied hitting it.
Her testimony also raised serious questions about whether at least some elements of the event were staged for propaganda purposes. Especially given how photos were made as if it was from a movie set – isn’t it suspicious that just at the minutes that the bombing happened, a professional photographer, Evgeniy Maloletka, working for the Associated Press was at the scene, equipped with camera and ready to feed the propaganda war machine?! Coincidence or a tip-off? It is a fair question because Ukrainians were caught staging photo-shootings many times as the same models appear over and over in different locations.
Ukrainian lies around it have been debunked, including the fact that there was an airstrike at the hospital as they found not a single witness attesting to that; as a matter of fact, all witnesses claimed the opposite. Also, the fact that they only used Marianna, only one single victim[+] when reporting the incident proves there were no other victims or casualties other than one pregnant women dying.
Also, no one wonders why at a maternity hospital, there were just couple of women patients?! Kyiv stated that the airstrike killed three people (including one child, of course, how can there not be a child killed at an “evil” Russian alleged attack, but they forget to mention it was an unborn child because a pregnant woman died; only one at a maternity hospital where supposedly many children should have been, this is kind of peculiar) and injured 17 others.
The Western reporters also omitted to remark how contradictory their sources are as the storytelling from their alleged witnesses do not match since some say it was a bombing from an aircraft[»] while others say it was artillery shelling[»] – which was it then? The Western reporters also omitted to mention that Ukrainian neo-Nazi Azov militants and mercenaries were holding at least 100 ethnic Russian civilians, including about 40 children as hostages in that hospital[+] and that Amnesty Intl report[+] exposed Kyiv for endangering civilians and violating international laws with its wartime tactics of establishing bases in schools and hospitals and operating weapons systems in civilian areas.
They also omitted to mention that patients were evacuated two days ago on 7 March and that Azov militants were stationed there, as evidenced by the permanent representative of Russia to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, during the meeting of the UN Security Council.
They also omitted to mention that Mariupol is a city where half of the residents were ethnic Russians, and that the city was defended by most notorious Ukrainian neo-Nazis, the Azov regiment (who were condemned also in the West as neo-Nazis and for their atrocities), who were slaughtering thousands of ethnic Russian civilians in Donbas and in Odesa ever since 2014, shelling many other civilian hospitals[+][+][+] and other civilian targets, as well as made countless false flag attacks so as to blame and shame the Russians for it, which makes sense they did that with this hospital, too, as it might have been full of ethnic Russians and Russian sympathizers, or as they call them “Russian collaborators” or traitors[+].
Even if you don’t trust some of these pieces of evidence, the rest of them are enough to debunk the Kyiv narrative, and if you are still not fully convinced, feel free to investigate[+][+][+][+][+] this topic further from independent Western sources as well as hear the other side like in any court before making any judgements and punishments or retributions.
The Mariupol Dramatic Theater Bombing
➡ Bombing of the Mariupol Dramatic Theater was debunked here[+][+][+][+] – on 16 March 2022, the Ukrainian government blamed an alleged targeted Russian airstrike for causing anywhere from 300 to 600 deaths of local Russian speakers and ethnic Russians. Russian Defense Ministry debunked[+] Kyiv’s accusations but Western mass media promoted the Ukrainian narrative of the event despite a total absence of any evidence showing a bomb or missile strike (Ukrainian Azov militants blew it up from inside), and despite testimonies by Mariupol locals stating[+»] that it was not destroyed at all by a bombing by the Russian army but that the fighters of the Azov regiment blew it up, and evacuees asserting[+][+] that the neo-Nazi Azov regiment fighters, who controlled the theater’s grounds, rounded up hundreds local Russian speakers in the building and held them hostage there (similar to what they did in other places such as in Odesa[»] in May 2024 by trapping pro-Russians in the trade union building and then burned and shot at them).
Below is an interview with a Mariupol refugee[»]: “You know what happened at the drama theatre?” – They blew up the drama theatre. “So, it wasn’t a bombing but an explosion?” – Nothing landed on it, it exploded from inside. “Did Azov let ppl leave the city?” – They didn’t let anyone leave.
Two days later, Mariupol City Council stated[+] that according to initial information, no one had been killed, although one person was gravely wounded and 130 people had been rescued from the theater's basement. Imagine that! Russians bombed the place with hundreds of people and no one dies! No it is not suspicious at all that long nine days later, the City Council changed[+] its mind and reported 300 people being killed, because you can’t have a Russian bombing without reporting any casualties, right? How can you claim that Russians are evil if no one died in alleged attack, right?
No one in the West asked how come that Ukrainians survived the bombing and only or mostly4 ethnic Russians died there?! Also, no one in the West asked how come that only Ukrainians were evacuated from the theater just before the bombing but not ethnic Russians?! No one from the Western press asked ethnic Russians to be their witnesses nor did they ask how could pro-Ukrainian non-expert witnesses distinguish that the blast came from a Russian external bomb and not from Ukrainian inside bomb? No one in the West asked how come that not a single Ukrainian child5 was killed there but they allege Russians attacked a building with children?!
The mere fact that they wrote “children” nowhere else and never again but only outside this theater and then made photos of it from different perspectives indicates a peculiar staging and that they planned to frame it on the children-killing Russians.
First of all, what would be children doing there at all other than be used as human shield, which even pro-Ukrainian Amnesty International already reported[+][+][+] that Ukrainians were doing it all the time. Why would children take a shelter in a theater or place where Azov fighters were also present which made it a military rather than civilian target, rather than hide in a bomb shelter?
Secondly, why did they make numerous photos from different perspectives of it from drones or satellites and provide it to all Western mass media? Who does that?! Someone who has intention to prove to the world how Russians are bombing buildings with children, that is who.
Thirdly, are they saying that Ukrainians can simply write “children” anywhere they want and Russians are supposed to believe that and not strike any such place? Gosh, what a great idea! Azov fighters can then write “children” at every other place they hide and naïve Russians would not touch them. Great plan! If Russians were morons.
Fourthly, the way Kyiv state-media and their backers wrote[+][+] about the incident is nothing short of Hollywood scriptwriting, which is clearly not about reporting news but about triggering emotions and shaping our attitude. And they made sure to add children, a cat, and a dog for an effect.
Let's not forget that the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, was a film producer, Zelensky's First Assistant and adviser Serhiy Shefir[+] and Serhiy Trofimov were a movie director and a producer[+] in Zelensky's Kvartal 95 production studio, and Zelensky himself was an actor and he filled his ranks with people from his film production company (12 people from Zelensky’s “Kvartal 95” production studio were appointed to a variety of government posts[+][+]) and PR company[+], so you can expect a lot of staging and scripting in this war. However, testimonies from Mariupol residents and a widely viewed Telegram message6 explicitly foreshadow a false flag attack on the building. They staged the explosion not only to kill all the “Russian collaborators”7 but also to provoke NATO military intervention based on false allegations of Russians being some evil civilian-killers.
The supposed air-strike took place conveniently the same day as Ukrainian President Zelensky zealously appealed[+] to US Congress for a no-fly zone8 over Ukraine as well as for air defense systems and fighter jets, fueling also his usual pleas for a direct US military involvement. Talking about the motive! On top of other motives such as gladly killing ethnic Russians who “collaborated” with the Russians in Mariupol (where around half of people were ethnic Russians) and preferring to destroy the city rather than give it away to Russians intact (by then it was clear that Ukrainian/Azov fighters have been defeated as just couple days later they withdrew to the Azovstal steel plant, where they had been hiding ever since until they surrendered).
At that time, the West was rejecting the Ukrainian pleas for a no-fly zone so far, so they needed some convincing and what better than an air strike on a building with children. Wow, how strange is that this is just what happened! As if Russians worked on behalf of Zelensky and gave him the attack he needed for his most important pitch[»]! However, it did not work. Although he received a standing ovation from the US lawmakers, who wore blue and yellow as a show of support when he appeared on screen before them, they did not[»] grant him his wish; perhaps because they could not be fooled by it to be dragged into a direct confrontation with Russia.
The Kyiv clown-turned-president never anticipated that there are some people even in the West who may conclude that there is no way that Russia would be so stupid to risk conducting an air strike on a building with children on no other day but exactly when the US was considering to impose a no-fly zone.
Moreover, this false flag operation came just a few days after another false flag attack was debunked by Turkey after Ukrainian government claimed that the Turkish mosque in Mariupol had been shelled by Russia with 80 civilians inside, including children. This was a failed attempt to drag Turkey into a direct confrontation with Russia as Turkish state media revealed[+] that the Ukrainian government had misled Western reporters and that the Mosque was not only fully intact, it had never been hit by Russian fire.
Since this is clearly a NATO proxy war[*][+] against Russia, any so-called “independent” report or expert from any NATO state can’t be authority to judge who did it, especially when they already revealed their bias and pro-Ukrainian stance on countless occasions and especially when their reports are full of speculations such as[+] “The most likely9 Russian aircraft to have conducted the strike are multi-role fighters – such as the Su-25, Su-30, or Su-34” or “Amnesty International believes10 that at least a dozen people11 were killed by the strike and likely many more” and when they conducted interviews only with Ukrainian witnesses and not a single ethnic Russian witness – that alone is very suspicious.
It seems that Ukrainians did not match their stories as they contradicted each other – some say it was a bomb, other said it was artillery shelling[+], and a witness said it was a missile. Even Amnesty International witnesses contradict themselves and tell lies such as one who was allegedly close to the theatre at the time of the attack and claimed that he saw “two missiles fire from one plane towards the theatre”! Please explain us how two missiles can be fired and then land right bellow?! Anyone who uses their brain-cells knows how missiles are fired from a long distance rather than from immediate vicinity of the target and so can detect a lie there, but the fact that the Amnesty International reports such lies without any fact-checking is very telling.
The story-telling of the three witnesses is very much indicative that they were used and formulated in way to debunk accusations of the inside job. Photographic evidence from ethnic Russians showed that Azov fighters (a neo-Nazi unit of the Ukrainian Internal Ministry, who controlled the theater) removed all vehicles from the theater’s parking lot one day before the explosion, which suggests the vehicles were removed because they planned to blow up the theater to prevent them from being damaged. Further circumstantial evidence is the fact that they did not care about the victims as there were no rescue attempts allowed as Azov/Ukrainian Army “observers” fired on anyone trying to pull people from the rubble[+]. Why didn't they try to rescue people from under the rubble? The same scenario was played out in May 2014 in Odessa massacre where Ukrainian far-right nationalists (with the Ukrainian police just standing by[»] rather than stopping them and capturing them) trapped and killed 116[+] (officially 48) pro-Russian protesters[+][+][+][»], which proves what they are capable of. Also, civilians that escaped Mariupol through humanitarian corridors have testified[+][+][»][+] that they were held by Azov as human shields in the area, and that Azov fighters detonated parts of the theater as they retreated.
There is plenty proof of Azov militants killing Ukrainian civilians (ethnic Russians or “Russian collaborators”) all the time, such as in another incident is this video[»] from a guy and his wife who while trying to flee Mariupol noticed some killed civilians at a Ukrainian checkpoint and when they attempted to help, the Azov soldiers shot at them (the guy survived but his wife was killed). Another war crime was Ukrainian Azov militants shooting civilians during Mariupol evacuation[»][ꚛ][+][»][+][+][+][+][+][»][»] and blew up an apartment building in Mariupol, killing 200 people, most of them women and children[+][+]. Not to mention all the other instances since 2014 of them killing ethnic Russians and “Russian collaborators” elsewhere[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][»][»], including Odesa massacre[»] in May 2014 where they also, like in Mariupol theater, trapped pro-Russians in a building and then burned them alive.
Even if you don’t trust some of these pieces of evidence, the rest of them are enough to debunk the Kyiv narrative, and if you are still not fully convinced, feel free to investigate[+][+][+][+] this topic further from independent Western sources as well as hear the other side like in any court before making any judgements and punishments or retributions.
Bucha massacre
➡ Bucha massacre was debunked here[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][»][»] — it was reported on 2 April 2022 and blamed on Russia but was a false flag operation[+] by Ukrainian ultranationalists (Azov regiment), orchestrated by SBU12, and the MI6[»] – to enrage and so prevent Zelensky to agree on a peace deal with Russia and to falsify the reason for the rejection of the agreements by making a fuss in the Western media[+].
The Kremlin said[+] the purported evidence of the crimes was fabricated, as part of an effort by the US and its allies to derail the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. A couple of days earlier, the Zelensky delegation[+][+][»][»] already signed a draft, so NATO and nationalists desperately needed him to pull out from the deal, as they wanted to fight the Russians to take Crimea back (which was not part of the deal). Zelensky used the Bucha incident to justify scrapping a draft truce with Moscow, which British PM Boris Johnson pressured him to do, and declaring military victory over Russians who retreated from the northern regions as part of the deal.
Here's an account[+][+][»][»][»] of a whistle-blower French volunteer Adrien Bocquet who was a witness of Ukrainians staging the whole thing. After he exposed it, they attempted to kill him as he explained[»] that and more about faking Bucha plot.
And a Czech soldier Filip Siman, who at that time illegally served in a foreign army as a mercenary in the Ukrainian volunteer battalion Karpatská Sič admitted[+][+] in a court testimony to be part of the “cleanup operation” in Bucha (and Irpin), where he performed looting and executions: "We were the police, we were the court, we were the firing squad when it came down to it." He stated that he followed the instructions of the commanding officer, and other soldiers also behaved similarly.
Circumstantial evidence of British (MI6) involvement is the fact that Britain blocked[+][+] UN investigation into Bucha massacre – why else block it unless they either did it or know that their proxy Ukraine did it?! Russia denied the accusations and requested an emergency session of the UN Security Council to discuss alleged war crimes committed in Bucha but Britain blocked it. Furthermore, the notorious British-Syrian ‘White Helmets’ scam[+][+][+] (incl. staging a fake chemical weapons attack[+]), among their other false flag ops, proves what Britons are capable of.
Circumstantial evidence of Ukrainian involvement is the fact that they hide the names of the victims[+][+][+]. If the names turn out to be ethnic Russians[+] or known pro-Russians, this would prove Ukrainian guilt[+]. One victim was already identified as Oleksandr Rzhavsky[+][+], a pro-Russian member of the Ukrainian Parliament, which punches a hole in their narrative. Because, why would Russians massacre pro-Russians in Bucha?! Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov asked[+][+] UN Secretary General Guterres to use his authority to get the list of victims of Bucha massacre but to this day[+], Ukrainians refuse to give it to the UN. This alone is suspicious enough but there is much more factual evidence of Ukrainian guilt.
Ukrainians killing their own may seem like an outrageous claim to common people until they see all the evidence and their many other similar atrocities in Donbas for many years as well as realize that in towns (like Bucha) near Belarussian and Russian borders, many or most people were ethnic Russians, Russophones and Russophiles (whom naturally Russians would not kill but whom Ukrainian Russophobes would and did kill for 8 years in Eastern Ukraine).
The first responders in Bucha were the same blood-thirsty neo-Nazi types that stop at nothing to achieve their goals, like those who hired Maidan snipers[+] in February 2014 and burned people alive in May 2014 in Odesa massacre[+][+][»], as well as shelled and slaughtered almost 14.000[+][+][+] Ukrainian civilians in Donbas just because they were ethnic Russians. So, how can anyone trust them and know that they were not the ones who committed the Bucha massacre? If they killed civilians (“Russian collaborators” and ethnic Russians) elsewhere[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][»][»], then surely they could have done it in Bucha as well.
Another proof that Ukrainian SBU kills alleged Russian collaborators extrajudicially is reported even by the pro-Ukrainian Economist magazine[+]13, and Daily Mail[+] in disgusting articles that instead of condemning such extrajudicial reprisals and assassinations, the publications cheer it.
The first responders were Ukrainian Special Forces SAFARI and neo-Nazi Azov regiment[+] who were sent into Bucha after the Russian withdrawal to “begin clearing operation from saboteurs and accomplices of Russia”[+][+][+][»] hunting down so-called "Russian collaborators" wearing white armbands – in other words, they massacred the Bucha civilians who were wearing white armbands[ꚛ][ꚛ] and then conveniently blamed
it on the Russians to enrage and prevent Zelensky to proceed with already agreed draft[+][+] of the peace agreement. Proof that they were shooting all those with white (not blue) armbands is also in a video titled “Botsman Boys’ work in Bucha”[»][»][»][»][+] released on 1 April 2014 by the leader of a division of the Azov battalion, neo-Nazi Sergei “Boatsman” Korotkikh[+], in which one Ukrainian soldier asked another "There are guys without blue armbands, can I shoot them?" And the other answered, “F***, yeah!”
Another horrific video[»] shows Ukrainians killing people with white armbands just a few kilometers southwest of Bucha[+] and one lying wounded who should have been at least taken prisoner. Further proof of Ukrainian neo-Nazis from the Azov Battalion committing similar atrocities across Ukraine is this video[»] showing them executing hideous torture and killing of a civilian “collaborator” in 2015. There is countless evidence of Azov militants killing Ukrainian civilians[»] which suggests they could have then easily done it in Bucha, too.
There is no valid evidence that Russians did it, including no circumstantial evidence – Russians never did anything like that anywhere else before or after (otherwise, Ukrainians would make sure to shout about it from the rooftops to gain more support from the world, as they always do whenever civilians get killed during missile and drone attacks; the only other two cases they exclaimed were in the same region and at the same time: two “mass graves” in nearby village Borodianka[+], one with 3 bodies14 and the other with 6 bodies, strangely discovered more than 20 days after Russians withdrew and in nearby Makarov, village[+] where 132 shot bodies were found but they did not reveal the names of the victims as if hiding their pro-Russian identity, and no one knows what happened to ethnic Russians or Russophone villagers who might be the ones killed by the local forces for being “Russian collaborators”), Russians had no gains from it, and made no sense to do it to their sympathizers.
Victims were wearing white armbands – a sign of friendliness towards the Russian military, as they accepted Russian humanitarian relief – 452 tons of humanitarian aid were delivered and issued to civilians by Russian servicemen in the settlements of the Kyiv region, including Bucha) and in the peace negotiation period during which they even retreated from Bucha as goodwill gesture[+][+][+]. One can see from multiple angles[ꚛ] that the massacred civilians in Bucha were carrying emergency food rations distributed by Russian forces before the troops withdrew, which is why these victims were most likely killed by Ukrainian nationalists for "collaborating" with Russia.
Why would Russians kill those to whom they provided food?! Why would an army that delivered 452 tons of humanitarian aid to civilians in Bucha then massacre them? It makes no sense and proves the allegations wrong.
Moreover, in his 31 March address[»] [+»] upon Russian withdrawal the day before, the Bucha mayor Anatoly Fedoruk never mentioned at all that any civilians were lying dead on the streets and was very happy rather than sad (as would be expected by witnessing an alleged massacre).
Also, on 2 April 2022, Ukrainian national police were filmed[»] inspecting the streets of Bucha showing clean streets with no corpses! Oops. The narrative exposed.
Also, NYT was in Bucha on 2 April 2022 and did not report a massacre; instead, it reported that “The city is being cleared from saboteurs and accomplices of Russian force” by Azov soldiers suggesting that they may be responsible for the killings[+][+].
Furthermore, curiously, the massacre was first reported on 3 April, four days after Russians left and Ukrainians entered – why did they wait 4 days to expose alleged Russian atrocities when they usually always do it the same day?! God is in the details.
A few other questions to all those who still believe the Ukrainian version: why would Russians massacre people while retreating when the retreat was a goodwill gesture “to increase trust” in peace talks aimed at ending fighting (as reported also on 29 March, before the retreat on 30 March)[+][+][+]; and how come Russian didn't massacre people of any other territories from which they retreated if this is how evil they are?!
Please, watch all the evidence on the links provided and consider this: why did Ukraine and its Western allies make such a massive effort (including a Hollywood-style 3D reconstruction) to present their cinematic storytelling version[»] of this event immediately after it took place but they never did such a thing for any other alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine? Think about it. It is very odd and suspicious. The only reasonable conclusion is that they were trying very hard to cover up the fact that Ukraine did it as mounting evidence surfaced proving Ukraine's culpability.
And while you are at it, use your critical thinking in watching all the supposed evidence because things are being presented as evidence without any proof of authenticity, such as the alleged Russian soldier calling his mother not from his phone but allegedly from a victim's phone (it's so believable because, you know, Russians are so poor that they can't afford to have their own phones to call their mothers :) and telling her how he is killing civilians — as if this is what soldiers really do, they casually tell their mothers how evil they are, and mother didn't even object to it! The film presenter[»] doesn't even bother to prove the authenticity of recording – for all we know, it could be one of those Azov killers who made the call pretending to be a Russian soldier (all or most Ukrainians can speak Russian). Accepting the fake claims of a massacre is as bad as or even worse than denying a real one. Apart from the harm caused by the deception, it undermines trust.
Even Ukrainian ally, Defence Minister of South Korea Shin Won-sik expressed[+][+][+] doubts about the Ukrainian version of the events saying that the details have not yet been established as fact. President Zelensky said, “This is genocide,”[+] which means that with this false flag operation, Ukrainians were conducting genocide.
Even if you don’t trust some of these pieces of evidence, the rest of them are enough to debunk the Kyiv narrative, and if you are still not fully convinced, feel free to investigate[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][»][»] this topic further from many independent Western sources as well as hear the other side like in any court before making any judgements and punishments or retributions.
Kramatorsk Train Station bombing
➡ Kramatorsk train station bombing was debunked here[+][+] — on 8 April 2022 (63 killed, including 9 children, and 150+ injured); it was blamed on Russia despite the fact the Tochka-U missile (armed with cluster munitions) responsible for the blast contained a serial number SH91579[+] that was traced back to the Ukrainian army and originated from Ukrainian-controlled territory (the city of Dobropillia).
Kostiantynivka market missile strike
➡ Kostiantynivka market missile strike[+] (Donetsk region) on the 6 September 2023 was, as usual, first blamed[+][+][+] on Russia until the solid evidence to the contrary emerged, which is congruent with many other similar proven instance of Ukrainians (accidently) bombing themselves, some of which are also listed in a previous article[*]. The New York Times15 run an investigation and article[+] about this missile strike on a Ukrainian-controlled town that killed 16 civilians and injured 33 others. Western investigative reporters collected and analyzed evidence, including missile fragments, satellite imagery, the direction from which the missile flew in, witness accounts, and social media posts, and attested that it was Ukrainians misfiring a 9M38 missile. Not expecting the allies to doubt him and investigate it, initially, the Ukraine's President Zelensky condemned the attack, describing[+] it as "The audacity of evil. The brazenness of wickedness. Utter inhumanity." Well, all these descriptions then apply to Ukraine now that we all know that Ukraine killed their own people again and again blamed it on Russia. The reporters also wrote about the coverup of Ukrainian authorities who tried to prevent journalists from accessing the missile debris and impact area in the strike’s immediate aftermath, which furthermore proves they knew it from the start who did it, so Zelensky was caught lying. It may be an accident but it may also be a false flag operation at the time US Secretary of State Blinken was visiting Kyiv to use it to outrage and so compel the US to provide more aid and stop pressuring Kyiv to freeze the conflict16[+].
➡ Blowing up their own $20 billion Nord Stream pipelines for no reason in September 2022[+][+][+][»], which we all now know by now that they didn't (it was done either by the US with Norway[+][»][+] or Ukraine[+][+][+][+][+]). Going by how absurd the allegation was, it could be topped only by claiming that drunk Russians caused the explosions themselves by tossing lit cigarettes.
➡ Ukrainian President Zelensky blamed in televised remarks[+] Russians for the missile that hit Poland in November 2022[+], killing two civilians, saying it was a "Russian missile", but Polish[+] and NATO officials[+], as well as Biden[+] revealed soon afterward that the missile was launched by Ukrainian AD forces[+]. Kyiv criminal regime fired the rocket against the EU as a false-flag operation to blame Putin and get more help from the West[+], which is a crime.
Don’t you worry, they found many other problems in Poland to blame it on Russia[+] but we can’t be bothered to cover all these fakes.
➡ Countless other instances with Ukrainian civilian casualties were blamed on Russia until it was later exposed by Western authorities that it was Ukrainians, not Russians, who killed their own civilians – sometimes by accident, or using them as human shields[»][»][+][+][+][+], or as false flag operations to blame Russia so as to gain more support and aid. There are too many such instances to list here, thus we list just a couple of them: care house in Stara Krasnianka[+][»] in July 2022, Dnipro residential building airstrike[+][+][»][+] in January 2023, etc.
➡ Cruelly beheading a Ukrainian POW[+] – on 12 April 2023, a video “leaked” showing what appears to be a Russian soldier savagely beheading a Ukrainian prisoner of war with a knife. One argument that this may not be true is the fact that there were never any other such incidents reported, quite the opposite with Ukrainian POWs17 telling about being treated well in captivity[»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»], and much evidence[»] how Russians make extra effort to capture rather than kill Ukrainian soldiers, even if by it they risk their lives[»][»]. It could be that Ukrainians did it to their own deserter or ‘SZCH-schnik’ (short for the Ukrainian term for ‘unauthorized abandonment of a unit’) as there is much evidence on AFU18 commanders killing[»] their disobeying soldiers or assigning troops to punish deserters by killing[»][»][»][»][»][»][»][+][+][+][+][»][»][»] them, so it is very likely that as a false flag operation[+], they staged killing a deserter as if Russians killed him in a cruel way (decapitating) as either a warning to all Ukrainians not to surrender (because they would otherwise be killed by evil Russians) or as anti-Russian propaganda to get more support from abroad against such “evil” Russians. Ukraine is faced with a huge problem of its soldiers either deserting their posts (over 100.000[»][»] by April 2024), refusing to fight, or surrendering to Russians[+], which is why they resort to desperate, evil measures.
➡ The Kakhovka Dam Destruction[+] on 6 June 2023 – without any investigation, any evidence, or valid motive(s), just hours after it happened, Western and Ukrainian authorities blamed Russia for blowing up its own dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant. Ukraine, on the other hand, had plenty of motives and benefits to blow it up as the dam was in Russian hands, most of the damages occurred on the eastern bank of the river which is under Russian control and where Russians built their defense fortifications that got flooded, the destruction of the dam was going cause shortages of water for agriculture in Russian-controlled southern Ukraine and Crimea, a huge loss of water in the Kakhovka Reservoir may threaten the water supply to the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and the level of the water reservoir to fall to the point at which Ukrainian forces may be able to easily cross over to the NPP and attack it.
But the main motive was most likely that Ukraine needed a catastrophic event blamed on Russia to divert the world's attention from the Ukrainian hugely embarrassing, catastrophic defeat in what was supposed to be the beginning of a glorious counteroffensive – in the first couple of days in the battle on Vremevka salient (4-6 June 2023), Ukraine's armed forces suffered 3.715 casualties, losing also 52 tanks, 341 other (armored) vehicles, 53 drones, 5 planes, 2 helicopters, 48 artillery systems[+], etc. and they had nothing to show for it to their Western sponsors.
Apart from all that, by own admission[+], Ukrainian commanders already considered blowing it up and were, in fact[+][+][+][+][+], bombing it with missiles and shells before, and let's not forget that they already committed another ecocide by blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines as the CIA and Germans reported[+][+][+][+][+][+], which proves they have no qualms about causing environmental catastrophes.
Above all, all Ukrainian arguments (Russians were allegedly "in a panic" to slow down Ukraine's planned counteroffensive[+][+] – no validity for that justification given that Russia had no reason to panic since it repelled all of Ukraine’s attempts to launch its counteroffensive[+] and was winning as Ukraine was losing and surely in panic and desperation) for “Russia did it” narrative collapse when confronted with one simple detail that “smart” Ukrainian accusers and saboteurs overlooked: if Russians had any motive or benefit to blow up their HPP on their own territory, flooding their own positions, they didn't have to blow the dam up as they could just open the gates rather than destroy their precious infrastructure that they would surely need in the future.
Also, the mere fact that it would take "at least 5 years and $1 billion"[+] to rebuild it plus $476 million[+] in total damages from flooding in Russian-controlled areas, not to mention all the costly damage on Russian area’s agriculture and ecosystem[+], surely tells anyone with brain cells that Russians couldn't have inflicted $1,5 billion cost upon themselves when there were other more cost-effective means to achieve gains (if there were any at all) from this destruction.
On top of all that, the fact that, unlike Russia[+][+][+][+], Kyiv dismissed a proposal[+][+][+] for an international UN commission to investigate the bombing of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant's dam, clearly indicates Kyiv's fear of the result of the investigation because why else reject it?! More facts:[+][+]
See how the Western hypocrites among the war reporters justify[+] Ukraine blowing up another dam – when Ukraine does it, it a tactically sensible maneuver and no longer causing an “environmental disaster” but when Russia allegedly does it, it is evil.
➡ Furthermore, whenever NATO states don't agree, again they ridiculously blame Russia for attempting to undermine Western unity[+]. Is there anything that’s not Russia’s fault? Russians have been constantly blamed for trying to break the coalition[»] whenever NATO officials disagree among themselves19[+]. That’s right, they are usually always united unless Russians interfere. Tell that to the marines20.
➡ Russia was also blamed[+] for the feud between Kyiv and Warsaw in the summer of 2023, as usual not providing any evidence whatsoever. Right, it was all Russia's fault that Polish President Andrzej Duda compared[»] Ukraine to a drowning man who will take down those who are trying to help him, that Warsaw extended the embargo on Ukrainian grain supplies acting in the interests of Polish farmers[+], and that Poland no longer supplies new weapons to Ukraine[+][+]. And surely, it was all Russia's fault that Ukraine threatened to sue Poland over its continued ban on Ukrainian grain[+].
Wow, how mighty Russia is then to be able to pull all that off despite having no relationship with both countries! Russia somehow managed, even if only for a short while, to put the close allies at odds with each other, drive a wedge between them, without doing anything at all – without holding any talks whatsoever with their authorities, without making any threats or coercion, without sending any letters or using any intermediaries. It must be some woo-woo then. One must admire their supernatural abilities. We do not know anyone else capable of that. Ukraine and NATO have tried rally hard to alienate or antagonize great Russia's allies like China, India, Belarus, and Kazakhstan but they only drew them closer to Russia. Oddly, Russia was blamed for it only after the feud was sorted out, obviously for no other reason than to point out how “Russia failed” at its attempt to drive them apart! It is rather pathetic. They must invent Russian failures as there are obviously no real failures to brag about.
➡ Russia was also blamed[+] for the failure of the Ukrainian summer 2023 counteroffensive – this one might be true, though, because, you know, Ukrainians are so holy that they could never be blamed for anything – Kyiv has never took any responsibility for anything they did, claiming to be holy heroes and the Western/NATO authorities and media never blamed them for anything either.
➡ It is also Russia's fault allegedly that reports about Swedes burning Qur’an come out. Because, you know, such instances should not be reported. As the UK's media outlet Guardian reported[+][+], “The Swedish authorities have accused Russia of trying to influence how Qur’an burnings are viewed around the world through disinformation campaigns written in Arabic. It is believed to be part of an attempt to disrupt Sweden’s NATO membership process, which was waiting for approval by Turkey and Hungary.” So, according to the Western spin doctors21, the problem is not at all that Swedes keep publicly burning Qur’an but the problem is how it is viewed and that Russia exposes it! So, instead of condemning the Swedes, they condemn the Russians – what does that say about the West?! Is there anything that’s not Russia's fault?
➡ When many dead dolphins washed ashore in the Black Sea in August 2023[+], Ukrainian officials blamed – surprise, surprise – Russia for ecocide disregarding the fact that it was Ukraine that placed many sea mines and was using sea drones that got blown up and caused fuel leaks in attacked Russian ships polluting the sea and so endangering the dolphins. More than 6.000 pieces of explosive devices were found[+] at the bottom of the Black Sea near Sevastopol, clearly placed by Ukrainians there, regardless of the danger for the marine life. Besides, their inconsistency in narratives is indicative of falsehood, as they were first claiming[+][+] that Russia trains dolphins to defend its fleet from Ukraine attacks, to serve as spies, and as part of a defensive system patrolling the waters around Russian harbors (how cool is all that?!) – why would then Russians endanger their assets or get them killed? If Ukraine and NATO view dolphins as serving the Russian navy, then it makes more sense that it was them who killed them. So, Ukraine and NATO had the motive, Russians didn't.
➡ Another wisecrack occurred in October 2023, soon after the war in Israel started, when Zelensky blamed[+] Russia for triggering war in Middle East to ‘undermine world unity’! He is too smart for me because, what does that even mean? And when was the world ever united anyway? Hilarious. Often, it is unclear if Zelensky is doing a public speech or a stand-up comedy :) We are not sure if we should laugh at this or admire his mind-boggling reasoning. Either case, this bloke, he never disappoints, does he? Always doing just as expected from a stand-up guy like him but foolishly and naively playing into his enemy’s hands with all this constant “Russia did it” narrative that he brought to such a ridiculous level that even if Russia did it, most people would doubt and just laugh it off. When all this is over, we should award him with an Oscar or something because he is really doing his best under the circumstances in his capacity as tragicomedian and unintentionally making us laugh at times. Clown School[ꚛ] for Tagicomedy: find a way to tie any calamity to Russia to make people laugh at you:)
There are so many other episodes of this blame-game since the start of Russian SMO that are so ridiculous that we do not want to waste our readers’ time on them
Discounting their judicial systems and the legal principle of the presumption of innocence[+], when it comes to war crimes allegations, Western nations disregard the need for legal investigations and evidence as they pronounce guilt based on mere political motives: Russia is guilty. Case closed. What happened to “innocent until proven guilty” and fair trial or examination? The moral and legal burden of proof is on the accusers, who must present compelling evidence but they always fail to do so.
“Russia did it” from 2014-2021
Ever since 2014, the “Russia did it” narrative became a go-to for everything that the Western ruling elite deemed as useful to defame Putin[+] and Russia as well as to shift the blame or avoid being blamed for something – from various poisonings and killings to meddling in the US elections and all kinds of disinformation. Here are just a few ludicrous conspiracy theories that run rampant but were debunked:
➡ in May 2014, in the aftermath of pro-Russian protestors in Odesa being burned to death[+][+][»] by a pro-Western mob, none other than Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, (without any evidence or valid motives) accused Moscow of placing gas canisters in the building to increase the number of casualties!
➡ Vrbětice ammunition warehouse explosions[+] in the Zlín District of the Czech Republic on 16 October and 3 December 2014, whereby two people were killed, are blamed on Russia and its two GRU secret service agents with the motivation of disrupting weapons supplies to Ukraine – the very same guys who would be later in 2018 accused of poisoning of Skripals in England, which was also debunked. Investigations were conducted by biased, anti-Russian investigators from NATO countries, so no wonder they pinned it on their perceived enemy Russia. But despite all the condemnation and media frenzy, in April 2021, then Czech President Miloš Zeman cast doubt on Russia's involvement in it, suggesting[+] that the deadly blast could have been caused accidentally due to the mishandling of explosives, and that there was no conclusive evidence to accuse Russia. NATO officials and opposition made sure to orchestrate protests against him and to get everyone to call him "a servant" of Russia for that even though he was clearly[+] pro-Ukrainian. Curiosity is that all workers were told[+] to take day off just before the explosion, so instead of a full staff showing up to work that day, just the owner was at the warehouse, which was abnormal.
➡ the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 crash[+][+][+] on 17 July 2014 – Russia was blamed without any valid evidence or motive. Why would Russia shoot down the Malaysian civilian plane? Russia had no gains from it while Ukraine and NATO gained from blaming Russia and creating mass Russophobia[+] and support for Ukraine. False flag operations[+] are a CIA and NATO common practice, which they carry out also with allies. On 31 January 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) rejected Ukraine’s claims against Russia in the MH17 case but the NATO and Kyiv leaders refuse to accept the ruling, undermining the international law as they pursue it further with Western-dominated International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council, which has no judiciary powers over the case[+]. The fact that the council refused the Russia’s proposal for “a full, thorough and independent international investigation into the crash of flight MH17, as required by UN Security Council Resolution 2166 and the ICAO Dispute Resolution Rules,” speaks volumes. Moreover, a 2019 documentary[»] from Max van der Werff, the leading independent investigator of the crash has revealed breakthrough evidence of tampering and forging of prosecution materials; suppression of Ukrainian Air Force radar tapes; and lying by the Dutch, Ukrainian, US and Australian governments. This all proves a major coverup. Also, a secret Malaysian military operation took custody of the MH17 black boxes on 22 July 2014, preventing the US and Ukraine from seizing them. Their conclusion is that the Russian rebels did not shoot the plane down. Nevertheless, the Western public still blames Russia for it because Western media has not corrected its initial claims blaming Russia. The Dutch Safety Board (DSB) and a Dutch-led joint investigation team (JIT) concluded in 2016 that the plane was shot down by ethnic Russian separatists using a missile supplied by Russia but the United Nations’ International Court of Justice (ICJ) in Hague refused[+][+][+][»] to find Russia guilty of downing Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 as Ukraine filed a case for Russia to pay compensation to the victims. A NATO country, the Dutch government, eager to blame Russia, spent or wasted $180 million[+] to pin the blame on Russia – lesson: whoever digs a pit will fall into it.
➡ Alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election[+][+], a.k.a. Russiagate, which took seven long years and millions of taxpayer money for the US public to finally find out that, contrary to prior sham FBI investigation (with no verified intelligence) and phony Mueller’s investigation[+][+], it was indeed all a hoax and unethical conduct of Hilary Clinton, her campaign team, and their allies (to tie presidential candidate Trump to Russia), as authorized Durham[+] special counsel investigation legal teams revealed in May 2023[+]. In plain words, to help Hillary win the election, as approved by Hillary[+][+][+], the US high authorities and their lackeys[+] in the mass media have conspired to lie to the public about Trump’s ties to Russia and blame[+] Russia for meddling in the election. In November 2022, shameless CNN went as far in their propaganda as to claim[+] that Russian oligarch (and Wagner leader) Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted to US election interference although he was talking about interference in the context of the current SMO and he had no post in the Russian government – the article was clearly directed at those who have no brain cells to read between the lines and are easily swayed by bombastic headlines like that. Russia did gain from Hillary’s loss because if she had won as the war profiteers from the US military industry and Ukrainian oligarchs (top sponsors of the Clinton Foundation) wanted her to win, she would have given the green light for the US or NATO proxy war[*][+] against Russia to escalate already in 2017 when Russia was in a weaker position both economically and militarily. The hoax failed to achieve its main goal, nevertheless, it achieved a goal of demonizing Russia (based on false accusations) that is working to this day among the uninformed part of the American public. If the Washington authorities could have pulled such a hoax on its people to make an enemy out of Russia and blame everything on Russian disinformation, imagine how many other ones they have also done, including about the US proxy war in Ukraine! Watch here[»] how US Senators used that lie in 2017 to push for sanctions against Russia, claiming that this was Russia’s attack on the US! But the hypocritical US officials interfere in Russian elections all the time and have made many attempts at regime change through funding NGOs and other entities as well as backing US puppets such as traitor Navalny[+][+][»][»][+][»][ꚛ][+] and spies-posing-as-journalists to stage US-backed protests in 2011-2013[+], 2017/2018[+], 2019[+], 2021[+] (which then the US condemned and propagated as Putin being a dictator cracking down on opposition). And they don’t even hide it. For instance, they bragged about how they facilitated a US-controlled corrupt player[+] Boris Yeltsin to get re-elected in 1996[+][+][+].
“Russian interference” is blamed[+][+][+][+] whenever the Western ruling elites do not get their guys elected abroad or whenever there is some malfunction in their system such as cyber-attacks or mass protests on issues of migration and coronavirus restrictions. Thereby is Russian interference portrayed as immoral despite the fact that there is much more Western interference[»][»][+][+][+] across Eastern Europe and the whole globe, which is hypocritically presented as moral and just. It is always possible that Russia protects its interests abroad by indeed interfering in some processes that are hostile to Russia but it must be highlighted that none of those allegations were backed by any evidence whatsoever – all just blatant defamation, which runs rampant within NATO countries in a climate of impunity, whose frequent bombing other countries goes unpunished. Since the US and its allies among NATO states are notorious for not just interference but outright regime changes and military insurgences, not to mention all the bribing of foreign politicians to allow the US to exploit their natural resources, they are the last who have the right to condemn Russia for interference. And the amount of Western interference on all levels of government and society in Ukraine is outrageous! They were concerned by Russian interference in Ukraine only because they wanted to interfere and rule there. But what right do Anglo-Saxons have to rule or interfere in the politics of Eastern Slavs22?!
Watch here[»][»] how Russia admits to interfering in US elections and vows to do it again! You have to love Russian sense of humour :)
➡ US Russophobes blamed Russia for a mysterious ailment they named “Havana syndrome”[+] whereby since 2016, hundreds of US and Canada personnel in Cuba were allegedly sickened (from ringing in the ears to cognitive dysfunction) by a clandestine Russian wielding energy waves used as a weapon. But, as reported by MSM[+][+][+] in March 2023, an intelligence report[+] shattered that long-disputed theory. Nevertheless, Russophobes couldn't let it go, so a year later in April 2023, they run the Russia hoax at full power again, claiming[»][»] Russia has acoustic weapons and attacks US officers. If you can believe it, Russia is almighty then and the US anxious. And then, next day, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre debunked[»] it again by stating that the American intelligence community has concluded that Russia is not involved in the "Havana syndrome" cases. This was confirmed in 2023 and reconfirmed in 2024 but Russophobic hawks keen to blame Russia for everything that goes bad by them disregard all that and in their cognitive dysfunction are not capable to consider why would Russia use that “acoustic weapon” in Cuba but not anywhere else, like Ukraine!
➡ Alleged Russian poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, England on 4 March 2018 – to this day, even with charges being made, no one is convicted for the poisoning and Britain had provided no proof of Russia's or anyone's guilt, despite colossal efforts to blame it on Russian government so as to have justification to place sanctions on Russia to weaken it. Russia has officially declared the poisoning to be a fabrication and a "grotesque provocation rudely staged by the British and US intelligence agencies" to undermine the country. One has to wonder, with all the hysteria in the mass media, why were Brits so concerned about those two Russian citizens being poisoned (who survived), when they are usually never concerned and even happy whenever Russians are hurt, especially since 2014. Perhaps because Skripals were British assets, spies or something? Or, they took advantage of any such event to publicly vilify Russia? Brits alleged (without any valid evidence) that both the victims and suspects of being Russian spies, which makes it more logical that British MI6 had interest in poisoning and accusing them as well as staging it as a false flag operation blaming Russia for it – they could easily plant novichok poison in suspects’ hotel room. It is rather curious that alleged professional killers (the very same guys who in 2014 were also accused of Vrbětice ammunition warehouse explosions[+] in the Czech Republic, which was also disputed by then Czech President Zeman) would amateurishly use Russian produced novichok poison that could be easily used as evidence of Russia's fault and also, without managing to kill the victims! It smells like a false flag operation by MI6 who had interest in killing Russian spies and resources to orchestrate the whole “Russia did it” ploy. Despite all the efforts to blame it on Russia, the precise source of the nerve agent used to poison them has not been verified[+][+] but Russophobic British mainstream media pointed fingers at Russians anyway. However, independent British toxicologists said[+] there is no evidence that a Russian-made Novichok was used; and that, instead, a British or US-made Novichok was as likely to have been the killer weapon. Also, no one even bothered what would Russian state gain from poisoning them! What would be the motive for Russia to kill them? What did Skripals do to Russia for Russians to want them dead or harmed? They were certainly much more insignificant than many other anti-Russians or Ukrainians who are still alive and kicking – if Russia poisons its enemies, how come it did not poison all or many other ones, too, like anti-Putin campaigners and Western puppets such as oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who also lives in England, and chess player Garry Kasparov living in New York? Or many opposition leaders who live in Russia? Police have also been unable to account for how the adapted perfume bottle the novichok was held in came to be at the property of Skripals. During investigation, Russia was "ready to cooperate" and demanded access to the samples of the nerve-agent which was used to poison Skripal but the request was rejected by the British government – one has to wonder why. The procedure stipulated by the Chemical Weapons Convention should be followed whereunder Russia was entitled to have access to the substance in question and 10 days to respond. Also, London refused to provide Russia with the civilian suspects' fingerprints, passport numbers, visa numbers, or any extra data. So, why did Brits violate the law and withheld the alleged evidence? Perhaps not to reveal the truth? Court hearings revealed that police “evidence” was a tangle of inconsistencies, contradictions, fabrications, stonewalling, and lies, which is proof enough that the British Government narrative of the Russian Novichok attack has collapsed.
➡ Alleged Russian disinformation in the 2020 US presidential election regarding Hunter Biden's laptop[+], which turned out to be CIA disinformation – Hunter’s found laptop revealed corruption[+] by then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden with documents revealing IRS tax crimes and an e-mail[+] suggesting his son Hunter had introduced his Ukrainian business partner to him, which would be considered illegal foreign interference in the presidential election and Biden would lose to Trump but as per request of Biden's then-campaign manager now-US Secretary of State Blinken, 51 CIA officials lied then about it being just another Russian ploy. In April 2023, this hoax, too, was exposed[+][+][+][»], once again debunking yet another “Russia did it” narrative and lies of the highest authorities in Washington establishment nexus – and these are the people Americans trust about the war against Russia in Ukraine! Had the 51 fraudsters not written that letter claiming that the laptop was Russian disinformation, Trump would have won in 2020 and hundreds of thousands of people would not have died in Ukraine because Trump is against funding the war and for “America first”.
➡ And on 8 February 2022 (just two weeks before Russia started the SMO[+]), the US even blamed a later proved innocent 15-year-old Russian ice skating champion Kamila Valieva for doping at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, oddly only after US team lost the gold medal to Russia, after she became the first female ice skater to enviously land a quadruple jump and her stellar performance won the Russian team gold medal, which left the second-placed US fuming, even though the controversial doping test was done a couple of months earlier (25.12.2021), so Russians were never actually awarded, and despite she has been cleared of any wrongdoing[+] (she bore “no fault or negligence” for it; btw, she also performed a quadruple jump on couple other occasions[+][+] proving she didn't need a dope to do it), the medal ceremony was indefinitely postponed under very fishy circumstances, just like all other accusations that were mysteriously never proven true, nevertheless, Russians were blemished as evil-doers in the psyche of many people. All things considered, by the end of February 2022, the Western public was more than prepped to accept Russia’s culpability for just about anything, including “unprovoked, illegal, evil invasion” that month.
➡ Russia abducted Ukrainian children but there is nuance – many of them have been found in Germany[+]! So, who abducted them? The Germans? Or Kyiv regime has been trafficking children[*] and blaming it on the Russians, as usual. Not to mention that Russians evacuated many children from the war zone, who are Ukrainian but ethnic Russians, rescuing them from Ukrainian shelling and traffickers[*].
➡ And the dubious list goes on and on and on, causing many laughs[ꚛ][+][+][+][+][+]. There are so many other ones that are so ridiculous that we do not want to waste our readers’ time on them but we will mention couple more of them that are so ridiculous that it is funny, so for laughs, we mention also blaming Russians even for July 2023 riots in France[»][»], which comes from a revered “genius” Ukrainian TV presenter. Russia made French police shoot a teenager? Well, if we are to believe this “genius”, all those immigrants in France who rioted and “undermined democracy” (unlike Euromaidan rioters in 2013-2014 in Ukraine, of course), were brought there by Russians to create chaos – here's proof[ꚛ]. Wow, Russia is an almighty machine that grinds democracies into dust. This all-powerful dictator Putin must be delighted :) How could it possibly be Russian's fault when we all know it's Donald Trump's :) Joking aside, we’re left to wonder: did CIA spark revolts in France to payback for Macron saying nice comments about President Xi Jinping after his China state tour??? Hmm, Macron asks for invitation to go to the BRICS and magically he gets a CIA/Soros/NED style color revolution. It beats blaming videogames and colonialists’ karma. All this blame shifting away from innocent Micron, I mean, Macron… Lesson: find a way to tie any wrongdoing or catastrophe to Russia and you are safe :)
“Putin did it” narrative
Furthermore, “Putin did it” narrative is as fantastical and fanatical hence humorous[ꚛ][+][ꚛ][+] – whenever someone is killed or jailed in Russia, the West always blames it on Putin and always without any evidence whatsoever.
What they lack in evidence, they compensate with using testimonials of disgraceful Russians who blame everything on Putin, also without any proof, just because he disgraced them for being foreign agents[+][+] and influence peddling, acting on behalf of Western and personal interests. Putin degraded many power-hungry oligarchs who in the 1990s took advantage of Russia's instability during the transition from communism to capitalism to embezzle Russia's assets. Putin stripped some oligarchs (who tried to use their money to influence politics) of their assets, which is why they and their wives have been trying to retaliate and ruin Putin's reputation in the West. From their appearance and rhetoric, it is obvious that they are totally Westernized, with nothing Russian about them, so the best is to ignore them and pity them for being used as a cog in the Western propaganda machine out of personal vendetta.
So, here is a list of just a few of ridiculous “Putin did it” narratives all of which were debunked
➡ British Daily Mail run an article[+] titled “Putin kills Ukrainian ballet star” when the dancer died of wounds from the shelling of Kyiv two days after the Russian SMO began. As if Putin himself killed people who refused to evacuate or go to shelters.
➡ British Telegraph[+] reported that Podolyak, an aide to President Zelensky, accused Putin of sabotage over Nord Stream gas pipeline and for a “terrorist attack” against the EU and conveniently called on Berlin to speed up supplies of weapons to Kyiv.
➡ On 17 March 2023, following an investigation of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued[+] arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia (and Maria Lvova-Belova, Russian Commissioner for Children's Rights), alleging responsibility for the war crime of unlawful deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation. Russians accused[+] ICC to be corrupt and a tool to be used by NATO leaders, but never against them, which is true because despite all NATO bombardments, wars, and murdering innocent civilians, none of their leaders were ever prosecuted by ICC. Many MSM, such as British Express[+] reported in September 2023 that Zelensky accused Putin of 'kidnapping' children. He went as far as to claim “This is clearly a genocide” without providing a single evidence and clearly ignorant of the difference between 'kidnapping' and ‘evacuating orphans from the war zone’. All children whose relatives asked for it, have been returned and had no complaints about their treatment while in Russia – so, how is this a kidnapping? As a matter of fact, there is much evidence that it is Ukrainian forces that kidnapped ethnic Russian children and they did it not to re-educate them (as they blame Russians for it) but for child trafficking and organ trafficking. Here are some testimonies[+][+][»][+][+] from Bakhmut/Artyomovsk civilians about Ukrainian "White Angel"[+] operatives abducting children against the wishes of the parents, which human rights activists[+][+][+] condemn for child trafficking. Plus, the EU Parliament Report on the Disappearance of Newborn Babies for illegal adoption in Europe[+] and exposure of Elite Pedophiles Paying $150k For Ukrainian Children at 'Sweet Shop' On Border.[+][»] As it turned out, 161 of alleged 'kidnapped' children by Putin have been in Germany all along[+][+], which can only mean that it was Ukrainians and their Western partners who kidnapped many of them, trafficked them to Germany and blamed it then on Putin. On the other hand, Putin and Russia evacuated and so saved many children and take good care of more than 700.000[+] children refuges with their parents (4 million) from Ukraine. American Canadian activist, Eva K Bartlett and Kherson refugees refuted Western media claims of Russia "kidnapping" them”[»].
➡ The Hill run an article[+] titled “Putin’s fingerprints are all over the Hamas attack” even though the day before an Israeli high official dismissed[+][+] all allegations that Russia might somehow be involved in radical Palestinian group Hamas’ attack on Israel. Italy's PM Meloni said[+] that Gaza is Russia’s fault: “If Russia had not invaded Ukraine, Hamas would most likely not have launched such an attack on Israel.”
➡ Another outrageous nonsense came from President Biden blaming Putin and Russia even for inflation in the US[+][+][»]. Is there anything that’s not Putin’s fault? In other words, the US President is saying how powerful and capable Putin is to bring down America, and without even setting a foot there! No, no, inflation can't possibly be the result of printing excessive amounts of money[+] which made things more expensive (more demand for staff, less supply), American goods less affordable abroad (less exports23), and devalued the dollar24, de-dollarization of international transactions, spending more than they can't afford (debt-to-GDP ratio, import-to-export ratio), enormous debt (over $36 trillion[+][+])… This blame shifting should raise red flags by everyone who use their brain-cells.
➡ When the most vocal Putin's critic and the weakest Russian opposition party leader US-sponsored Alexei Navalny died of natural causes (blood clot; he was vaccinated five times with Pfizer vaccine that causes blood clots) in Siberian prison on 16 February 2024, all Western high officials[+][+][+][+] and mainstream media[+] as well as Navalny's wife[»] and Zelensky[»][+] all at once, surprise surprise, immediately, in a matter of minutes, blamed Putin for killing Navalny, as usual without any evidence, forensic medical examination data, and the benefit of doubt, which is required by law in civilized societies but not in the bad-mannered West. However, this was debunked already on 26 February 2024, when a CIA-backed Chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR) of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, said[»][»][»][+][+] that Navalny indeed died of a blood clot, i.e. of natural causes. Also, In April 2024, US intelligence confirmed that Putin didn't order Navalny to be killed, as reported by most Western MSM[+][+][+][+][+][+]. This was further confirmed by reports[+][+] and German spokesperson saying that Navalny and two US citizens held in Russia were supposed to be swapped for Russian FSB assassin imprisoned in Germany, Vadim Krasikov, which was approved by Putin, so it made no sense to kill him then! Western spin doctors tried to make us believe that Navalny was killed because Putin could not tolerate the thought of him being free – if this was true, why would he approve it[+]?! This was yet another media hoax[»] among countless others, which tell us how untrustworthy each and every slandering politician and media outlet is. Nevertheless, many anti-Russian activists still can’t accept the experts’ conclusion since it contradicts their secular cult’s dogma, namely that President Putin is personally responsible for every bad thing that happens to any non-systemic opposition member. By divorcing themselves more and more from reality, they’re further discrediting the West’s information warfare operations, which works to Russia’s benefit in the soft power sense.
Whenever someone opposing Putin dies or gets in jail, they immediately blame Putin for killing or jailing them but how come they do not blame Western leaders whenever their critics get killed, poisoned, persecuted, or jailed?! In the West, it happens much more often than in Russia but somehow Russia is portrayed as evil and dictatorship for the very same things that in Ukraine and the West happens to the nth degree!
The free-thinkers who bother to use critical thinking would surely question why, for instance, Biden was not accused of also being a dictator for his relentless persecution of his rival Donald Trump or for jailing[+] his critics involved in 2021 January 6 attack on the Capitol[+] for which over 890[+] people had been found guilty of federal crimes (just like those protesters, Putin protesters also caused much harm and damage).
In the US, over 200.000[+] people die every year due to “accidents”, and more than 40.000[+] people were killed in gun violence in 2023 – do you honestly think that no one of them was a Biden critic? More than half of the country is Biden's critic but whenever someone of them gets killed or poisoned or jailed, no one blames it on Biden for some reason. However, when just one of Putin's critic in a whole year dies (of blood clot or anything else), immediately all Western media is full of headlines with “Putin did it” narrative, which is rather pathetic, especially because they never provide any evidence to back up their accusations whatsoever.
Unlike Americans and their allies, Russian authorities, including state media, never circulate any defamatory statement towards American or Western heads of state, which indicates that they take a higher moral ground than their counterparts in the West. The fact that Americans scream from the rooftops whenever some Western puppet among the Russians gets killed or poisoned or jailed, it only proves to Russians and the rest of the world that they were indeed Western assets who tried to harm Russia on behalf of the West.
➡ They blamed[+][+] Putin even for the 22 March 2024, terrorist attack[+][+] at a Krasnogorsk upscale concert venue "Crocus City Hall" for ignoring the warning of a terror attack the US gave to Russia! But the warning was given on 7 March and explicitly time limited to 48 hours and no correct or specific location was given – on 7 March, the US Embassy publicly announced[+][+] that it was “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts,” and advised US citizens “to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours.” The terrorist attack did not happen in either the time-frame and city that the US warned[+] – it did not occur in Moscow but in Krasnogorsk city in Moscow region and 15 days later. The Russians did boost security at all concert venues, including the Crocus City Hall for the next 48 hours but nothing happened, so they assumed the US was just messing with them. Since nothing happened, it was incumbent on the US Government to issue another warning to continue to avoid large gatherings, such as concert halls but the USG did not do that – not even to their citizens in Russia! It is like Russia warning the US authorities that another school shooting will occur in next 48 hours and nothing happens, so what is Biden supposed to do, close all schools infinitely just because their enemy Russia warned about it?! Or, if Russia warned France that a terrorist attack would occur during the summer 2024 Olympic games – would Macron cancel the games? Do you know how much would cost to have security guards at all US schools and large gatherings venues? But Putin is to blame anyway!
Similar to all these false accusations of Putin doing this and that are the accusations of him lying this and that which we debunked in a separate article “Putin's lies” [*].
Russia is 'weaponizing' everything
Similar to “Russia did it” and “Putin did it” narrative are the countless narratives of them weaponizing just about anything. The amount of things Putin is weaponizing is astounding. Already by 2018, he weaponized no less than 65 things[+], according to the Western media. He's got these superpowers that he can turn anything into a weapon, even you, yes, you, as well as Ukrainian civilians[+]. And the worst is that he is weaponizing all these things that can't be used to kill people like energy[+], food[+], corruption[+], traditional values[+], etc. because the West wants us to believe it is horrible that Putin is doing all that because, you know, it would be better to weaponize… weapons.
What do humor[+], religion[+], health information[+], giant squids[+], robotic cockroaches[+], tedium[+], dolphins[+], and postmodernism[+] have in common? Russia weaponized them. Russia is 'weaponizing' everything: its population[+], Federalism[+], MS Word files[+], Jedi mind tricks[+], Soviet history[+], Russian history[»], Syrian immigrants[+][+], weather[+], Photoshop[+], psychiatry[+], silence[+], hypocrisy[+], stupidity[+], incompetence[+], popularity[+], Judo[+], winter[+], and much more[+][+]. Whatever one might think of, evil Russians have weaponized it. Heck, they even weaponize weaponizing! That's how evil they are! Here are lists of things Russia weaponized by 2016[+], 2017[+], and 2018[+].
It’s a well-known fact that Russia can make a weapon out of virtually anything. Give a Russian kid a box of crayons and a stick of gum, and the little brat will make a nuclear warhead by the time recess is over. We suggest you keep all of those things on you at all times, so you don’t fall victim to Russian scheming. The best we can all hope for is China getting sick of this mess and just becoming boss of everything. Although Russia will probably find a way to weaponize that scenario too. Just wait.
Why can't Ukraine and the West weaponize anything? Is it because Russians are always one step ahead so they already weaponized everything and there is nothing left for NATO countries to weaponize? Oh wait, they have done it, too. They weaponized the dollar, sanctions, media, information… but it is all for a good cause.
All Russians really care about is making you miserable. Yes, you. You think you’re not on their radar, you’re just a regular person and all – but really, who are you kidding? Know that they’re coming for you. The Russians won’t be content with just laying claim to your body – whether by turning it to nuclear ash or stuffing it with enough kholodets (meat jelly) to make you go native. They are coming for your very spirit, which they probably plan on trapping in a box, like Ghostbusters with funny accents. You might laugh, but then again, dumb city officials laughed at the Ghostbusters too – and then look what happened.
If this was not funny, we wish to end this article on a funny note, so we offer a related joke:
Two Jews meet and one sees that the other is holding an anti-Semitic neo-Nazi newspaper. He asks in shock: - Why are you reading this? And the other Jew replies:
- I'm tired and upset by all the bad news in our media but here in contrast, in every article we control the world and own everything, which is rather uplifting :)
Well, in the same way, many Russians might feel good about themselves when they read all the accusations that suggest Russia is so mighty that it is capable of influencing American presidential elections and economy, weakening Western unity or breaking the grand Western coalition, inspiring riots in France against a corrupt regime, etc. By making such accusations, the West is only fueling the national pride of Russians, which is then counterproductive.

false flag operations[+] – an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on another party
we refer to Kyiv as a regime[+] due to its oppressive and repressive policies, corruption, and foul treatment of its ethnic minorities, such as the ethnic Russians, violating their human rights, tyrannizing, and killing them since 2014.
only or mostly ethnic Russians died in the bombing of the Mariupol Dramatic Theater — this report[+], made 3,5 months after the incident, gives only 4 names of the victims, not even stating if they were ethnic Russians or not. Anyway, is this not odd that in a building where hundreds people were concentrated only a few were killed by 2 bombs?This report, made 3,5 months after the incident, gives only 4 names of the victims, not even stating if they were ethnic Russians or not. Anyway, is this not odd that in a building where hundreds people were concentrated only a few were killed by 2 bombs?
no Ukrainian children[+] were killed in the Mariupol Dramatic Theater Bombing — you would know if any Ukrainian children were killed there, Kyiv and NATO media would shout it from the rooftops. Feel free to check it out on this Wikipedia link to victims of that incident
Telegram message[+] from 12 March from D. Steshen, Mariupol correspondent, whom local residents warned about an imminent false flag attack on the Theater by Azov who will detonate it and blame it on Russia air force to get the West to declare ‘no fly zone’ over UA
"Russian collaborators" by definition are Ukrainians collaborating with Russians, and not Russians collaborating with Russians. So, Ukrainians are killing their own citizens just because they are pro-Russian, as opposed to pro-West or pro-NATO, which according to pre-war Kyiv polls[+][+][+] (by KIIS) and elections’ results[+][+] accounted for more than half of Ukraine. Pro-Russian parties and presidential candidates always won the majority, not counting the undemocratic regime changes of the Orange and Maidan revolutions.
no-fly zone over Ukraine — as explained on this link[+] more, if a Russian aircraft flew into a NATO no-fly zone, then NATO forces would have to shoot the plane from the sky, which would be be an act of war by NATO against Russia and would surely escalate the conflict.
“The most likely[+] Russian aircraft to have conducted the strike are multi-role fighters – such as the Su-25, Su-30, or Su-34” — Most likely? Really? Is this how expert and professional reports are made by stating likelihoods? How about facts? If you make vicious accusations than back them up with evidence and not some biased likelihoods!
“Amnesty International believes[+] that — Believes? Really? Is this how expert and professional reports are made by stating what they believe? How about facts? If you make vicious accusations than back them up with evidence and not some biased beliefs!
at least a dozen people[+] were killed by the strike —Right here is proof how inexpert and unprofessional Amnesty International reports is! All other sources claimed hundreds of killed there (as many as 600 according to AP) but 3,5 months after the incident they reported just a dozen
Economist[+] is Jewish Rothschild-owned; one of Ukraine’s strongest supporters in the media, as a magazine representing the British financial interests which profit from every global conflict
“mass grave” with 3 bodies — can a burrial site of 3 executed people be called a "mass grave". Yes, it can, if you want to villify alleged perpetrators
The New York Times is mouthpiece for the US Democratic Party, White House, globalists, and neocons. It is the flagship publication for liberal triumphalism; socially progressive. It used to endorse the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
freeze the conflict[+] — as usual, the US totally disregards what Russia wants as it suggests freezing the conflict without considering the option that Russia would not agree to that. To negotiate peace on the US terms is surely not in Russia's interests
POWs = prisoners of war
AFU = Armed Forces of Ukraine
Hungary and Slovakia refuse NATO's orders to supply Ukraine with weapons and funds, the US attacked Germany's infrastructure (Nord Stream), the US shoots down Turkish drones over Syria...
Tell that to the marines = an American phrase - expression of disbelief, the marines being regarded by sailors as credulous
spin doctors[+] = public relations people who try to forestall negative publicity by publicizing a favorable interpretation of the words or actions of immoral people
Eastern Slavs — Eastern Slavs consist of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. There are also Western Slavs (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland) and Southern Slavs (Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia).
less exports — The US exports less than it imports (negative trade balance); due to sanctions on Russia and China, the US increased its exports but the profit margins decreased; the top exports are refined petroleum, petroleum gas, crude petroleum, cars…
devalued the dollar — central banks around the world keep their foreign reserves in dollar, so by increased prices due to printing money, the value of reserves of other countries decreases, which is why they shift to trading and saving their money in other currencies
