U.S. corporate media spent years dismissing the role of neo-Nazis in Ukraine’s 2014 coup but it is suddenly going through a conversion, as Daniel Lazare reports. By Daniel Lazare Special to Consortium News Last month a freelance journalist named Joshua…Read more →
The Ukrainian regime authorities have unveiled a statue honouring the fighters who are engaged in an aggressive war of ethnic cleansing against the people of Donbass.
The monument located outside of central Kiev has already attracted attention for its ‘art’ work being a rip-off of graphics from a popular video game known as Diablo III
Less than five days before Victory Day, the fascist regime in Kiev is attempting to prosecute a 94 year old veteran of the Great Patriotic War.
94 year old Boris Steklyar fought in the harrowing Battle of Stalingrad and was also present during the Battle of Berlin, the lat stand of the fascist Nazi regime before surrendering on the 9th of May 1945.
Exclusive: Ukraine on Fire, a new documentary about the Ukraine crisis, might change how people in the West perceive the conflict, but it’s unlikely to get much distribution since it contests the prevailing narrative, writes James DiEugenio. By James DiEugenio…Read more →
It seems that many in Poland are slowly waking up from the collective spasm in logic that the former Polish government was struck with in 2014. In 2014 the Civic Platform government, so hell bent on creating a problem on Russia’s border, helped bring about the coup in Kiev which brought a fascist government to power.
