Americans and Brits start telling and showing some truth about events in SE Ukraine and real official Kiev’s face.
Today Western Media has released more news from Ukraine with the point of view, which certainly differs to the one Western audience is used to hear for the whole last year.
1. Sky News, Britain: As the fighting in eastern Ukraine intensifies, humanitarian conditions in the region are deteriorating.
The Ukrainian government has cut off pensions and other social payments to those living in rebel-controlled areas like Donetsk.
Some of the families in Donetsk have been living in underground shelters since July, too frightened to let their children play outside or go to school.
"They started to shell us from the Ukrainian side," Luba, one of the mothers, said.

2. National Interest, USA: From the very start of the Ukraine crisis, Washington’s neoconservative lobby has sought to downplay the less appealing aspects of the government that came to power in Kiev in February.
But examples of the new authoritarianism gripping Kiev have become tougher to miss in recent months, so much so that there are signs that perhaps even the Washington establishment is begin to feel some discomfiture at the actions of its new Ukrainian clients.
Also this article tells how comfortable Ukrainian nationalists (basically Nazis followers) are feeling in Ukraine now. And just think: in the country, where Nazis feel comfortable, how comfortable should normal people (who are not Nazis) feel?

3. The man who claims to be, and sounds like, an American appeared on a three minute video released on YouTube by a media outlet associated with the Vostok Battalion, one of the main separatist groups fighting against Ukrainian troops.
“I arrived here to help, help New Russia, Novorossiya, become an independent state,” he said in response to a question by someone behind the camera. Novorossiya is the tsar-era name for the region favored by the separatists.
Hunter, who did not provide his last name in the video, said he joined the Vostok Battalion in the city of Donetsk “about a month” ago. It appears that he does not yet speak Russian, as the questions were translated for him and he responded in English.
He urged other Westerners to join him.
“People with U.S. military experience would be very valuable here,” he said.
Asked for his views on the conflict, Hunter admitted his knowledge of the situation is “limited,” but blamed the Ukrainian government for ignoring the will of the people.
“It seems to be a very simple, straightforward situation and the Kiev junta does not necessarily, I believe, reflect, they don’t, they don’t consider the popular opinion of the people of Donbass,” he said, referring the common name of the region.
He suggested, as a solution, that Ukrainian authorities cede the territory in the east.
“It’d be better for everybody if they’d just come to a peaceful resolution. Give a reasonable amount of territory to the new state of Novorussia and, you know, make a peaceful, peaceful arrangement,” he said.
There had been at least one other American fighting in Ukraine, but on the other side of the conflict.
Mark Paslawsky, a Ukrainian-American U.S. Army veteran from New Jersey, was fighting for a pro-Ukrainian militia under the non de guerre “Franko.” He was killed in battle in late August.
