Is Russia not paying attention?

 Russia complain that the Western, i.e. US/European, coverage of the problems in the Ukraine skip the Eastern part of the Ukraine, specifically the Donbass.

The problem in the Ukraine is definitely Russia's fault. In 1750, the Ukraine ended at the Dnieper River. West of the Dnieper River was an area of Poland called Galicia. The Czar seized Galicia, and the Galicians hated everything Russian. When the Wehrmacht arrived in WWI, Galicia wanted to transfer from Russia to Germany, and the Wehrmacht obliged them for a few months after Germany defeated Russia. But then Germany lost, and Galicia became part of Poland. Until WWII, when Stalin annexed Galicia back onto the Ukraine. When the USSR collapsed, Galicia and East Ukraine all voted together, and the majority voted to leave Russia. Russia signed an agreement to respect the entire territoriality of the Ukraine. Of course, the East Ukraine and Galicia could agree about little or nothing, so the freely elected presidents were all weak, with divided support from East Ukraine and Galicia that wanted very different things. Until 2014, when Obama sent the CIA in. The Official US/Western version is that the CIA brought democracy to the formerly autocratic Ukraine, Putin felt threatened, and decided to rebuild the USSR, starting with the Ukraine.

The Russians say the Galicians killed about 14,000 Eastern Ukrainians in the Donbass from 2014 until 2022, while the Western media said nothing. The Russians were not paying attention. Lately, the European/US media have said a lot about what has been happening in the Donbass.

The Russian version, proclaimed from 2014 until Russian media was cut off in March, 2022, was that the Galicians murdered 14,000 Donbass Ukrainians for speaking Russian and going to the Russian Orthodox Church. The Russians claim, just because it is a historical fact, that the people in the East Ukraine prefer the Russian language and the Russian Orthodox religion, but after the 2014 Revolution (led by the CIA), the Galicians took over and made the Russian language and the Russian Orthodox Religion capital offences, and sent the Ukrainian military (consisting of primarily Galicians) to execute the heinous capital felons speaking Russian.

The official Western version is that, after the Ukraine became a democracy in 2014, Putin decided to recreate the USSR, and he started by trying to annex the Donbass and make it part of Russia. Of course, everyone in the Donbass was a loyal Ukrainian who hated, detested, and despised everything Russian. None spoke Russian, none had the slightest interest in attending the Russian Orthodox Church, being Lutheran and Roman Christians who all hated the Orthodox 'religion'.

So, to annex the rabidly Ukrainian Donbass, Putin sent the Russian military into the Donbass in 2014, and over the next 8 years, they murdered 14,000 Donbass Ukrainians.

So there is agreement that someone murdered 14,000 Donbass Ukrainians between 2014 and 2022. The Western media all agree it was the Russian military. Russia say it was the Galicians.

The Western reporters, if they are even in the Ukraine, are in Lviv, a long way from the Donbass. They say they have reliable sources. Many say they know Russians who admit it was the Russian army that murdered 14,000 people in the Donbass.

The Russian reporters are actually in the Donbass, and the people say how grateful they are that the Russian military finally arrived in February 2022 to help protect them from the Galicians.

Obviously, the Western reporters and the Western media and Alphabet and Meta and Apple all know the official US government version is the only correct version, and they have made it pretty much impossible for anyone to see the Russian version.

So we have just now learned about the 14,000 dead Donbass Ukrainians, after years of saying that all claims of 14,000 dead Donbass Ukrainians were a Russian lie, but now those 14,000 really are dead, and it was the Russians who killed every last one of them. And one won't find anything else in the Western media or social media. Obviously, Alphabet, Meta, and Apple control just about all the Western social media that everyone sees, and about four conglomerates control all the traditional media, and all agree that only the US version, verbatim, is the TRVTH, the whole TRVTH, and nothing but the TRVTH.
