Ukraine Labor Dares Operation Vulture by Michael Hudson
Ukraine’s collapse since the February 2014 coup has become an umbrella for grabitization. Collateral damage in this free-for-all has been labor. Many workers are simply not getting paid, and what they actually is being paid is often illegally low. Employers are taking whatever money is in their business accounts and squirreling it away – preferably… Continue reading

EU Splits on Supplying Weapons to Ukraine — How and Why By Eric Zuesse
There are 28 member-nations in the EU. Apparently, 17 of them do not want to sell weapons to the Ukrainian Government. That’s 17 EU nations which are apparently siding with Russia in opposing the extermination of the residents in the region of the former Ukraine, Donbass, where the residents had voted 90% for the Ukrainian… Continue reading

Ukraine: This Is a Declaration of War
At times I feel completely overwhelmed by the current US-NATO military operations aimed at Russia. It’s growing rapidly – one can’t help but wonder if the recent ‘victory’ of the self-defensive forces in eastern Ukraine wasn’t allowed by Washington and Kiev as a way to get public opinion behind the already well established plans for… Continue reading

Is Washington Preparing to Wage War on Russia? By Prof. John McMurtry
20 February 2015 — Global Research Seeing through the Official Lies on Ukraine Truce on the First Anniversary of the US-Led Coup “We can no longer find any willingness on the part of Poland to conduct serious negotiations with us.

The Strategic Implications of the Battle for Debaltsevo By The Saker
The Novorussians are in control of most of Debaltsevo (officially 90%, officially 100% as of midnight GMT). More relevantly, there is no more organized resistance. Russian sources say that about 1000 junta soldiers have refused to surrender and are hiding in the outskirts or have fled to the south end of the cauldron. The Novorussians… Continue reading

IMF Loans to Ukraine: Deadly “Economic Medicine” Aimed at Total Destabilization By Ernst Wolff
On February 12, Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, announced that the IMF had reached an agreement with the Ukrainian government on a new economic reform program.

New Video Evidence of the US-Sponsored Coup in Ukraine —and What it Means By Eric Zuesse
New video evidence has been added to the already-conclusive video evidence which shows that the U.S. Government was the controlling power behind the extremely violent and illegal 18-27 February 2014 Ukrainian coup, which overthrew the democratically elected and never legally removed-from-power Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Continue reading

Human Rights Watch: An agent of Imperialism By Vera Graziadei
George Soros, the Wall Street speculator who was convicted and fined for insider trading by the European Court of Human Rights in 2002, “has built an empire out of obfuscating global criminal activity with the cause of “human rights.” In repeating unproved claims by their sponsors, Human Rights Watch are discrediting themselves, as a modern… Continue reading

Donetsk’s faint hopes for new ceasefire in Ukraine
A few months ago Donetsk was a vibrant, thriving and ambitious city. Hosting the European football championship in 2012 coincided with the peak of its hopes for world recognition. Today it stands partially destroyed, sad, hopeless and fearful for its future. The European metropolis of one million people now has around 80% of its previous… Continue reading

“Libya, Syria, Iraq—they are surrounding you, Russians…”
A fighter from Donetsk’s Vostok Brigade told us how he was sent to the USSR on a semi-secret programme, called ‘Watan’, and why he came to the Donbass. “Listen, Ukraine and Russia—they are one and the same. You are being simply surrounded. Look: Central Asia, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan—they are all Russian allies. Us, they… Continue reading

All-Out War in Ukraine: NATO’s ‘Final Offensive’ By James Petras
The Kiev junta and its newly ‘elected’ client rulers, and its NATO sponsors are intent on a major purge to consolidate the puppet Poroshenko’s dictatorial rule. The recent NATO-sponsored elections excluded several major political parties that had traditionally supported the country’s large ethnic minority populations, and was boycotted in the Donbas region. This sham election… Continue reading

On the eve of the decisive battle for Donbass
The situation in Donbass is in limbo. On one hand, the signed truce has halted large-scale military operations; on the other, exchange of fire did not stop for a single day. There have even been attempts to carry out limited operations. For example, the Ukrainian command has not abandoned hope of rescuing the encircled special… Continue reading

West beats retreat in Ukraine By MK Bhadrakumar
Considering the huge lift that the White House gave last week to the visit by the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko — ‘rare honor’ of addressing a joint session of the US Congress, et al — one would have thought the Barack Obama administration was getting into a heightened mood of belligerence vis-a-vis Russia. But a… Continue reading

Dutch MH17 Investigation Omits US “Intel”. Fabrications and Omissions Supportive of US-NATO Agenda Directed against Russia By Tony Cartalucci
The absence of America’s so-called “intelligence” regarding the downing of Malaysia Airlines MH17 over Ukraine in a 34 page Dutch Safety Board preliminary report raises serious questions about the credibility and legitimacy of both America’s political agenda, and all agencies, organizations, and political parties currently behind it.

Ukraine: The Nuclear Answer to Chamberlain
The Ukrainian Minister of Defence, Geletei, has announced that Ukraine will choose to drop its nuclear-free status and arm its army with nuclear weapons in the event that “the world does not help [the country].” In Russia this announcement prompted a not-so-polite proposal that Geletei undergo psychiatric treatment; however this issue does not exist solely… Continue reading

Camouflage and Coverup: The Dutch Commission Report on the Malaysian MH17 Crash is “Not Worth the Paper it’s Written On” By Peter Haisenko
One thing must be stated outright: This report does not lie. It just can’t lie since there is nothing new in it. I myself have never seen such a meaningless plane crash report. What comes as a surprise, however, is the report’s diplomatic, sophisticated choice of words, which loses itself in ambiguous terminology. Continue reading

We Will Not Allow for Russia to be Ripped Asunder and Ruined By Igor Strelkov
I will not focus on the circumstances that forced me to resign. I will only say that the decision I made then has justified itself and –– on the eve of the offensive – allowed leadership of the armed forces of the DPR to unite in the hands of one and to avoid many of… Continue reading

Phantom Tanks and the Desperation of Kiev By Caleb Maupin
This excellent synopsis of US propaganda regarding the Ukraine crisis can easily be verified by reading OSCE’s own daily reports which in fact mention Nazis tearing down monuments, Kiev troops destroying Ukraine’s own infrastructure, and no mention ever of a “Russian invasion.” Continue reading
