To really understand the crisis in Ukraine, the mainstream media in Australia, UK, U.S. is no help at all. It reflects corporate, imperial interests, and is part of the problem, not the solution. However, real news and useful analysis can be found in alternative media, for those who want to know.

“…Russia has been slow to react to the many years of Washington’s provocations, hoping for some sign of good sense and good will to emerge in the West.

The bulk of the American and European [and Australian] populations are being brainwashed to see the problem that Washington’s meddling has caused in Ukraine to be Russia’s fault...”
