Very interesting.

One person hid their phone, and passed intelligence to the Ukrainian forces.

This shows how difficult it is to be an occupying force with modern technology available.

One of these days, I am afraid that there will be no more Patrick Lancaster videos coming out of the Mariupol region. His luck is going to run out, and the videos will cease. Please go to his channel and watch the last half dozen or ten videos to get a view of the war unlike anything you will see in the Western MSM.

Russian Soldiers Evacuate Children from Dangerous Areas of Mariupol
[This steel shed/roof is the top of the deep bunker shown in the last Patrick Lancaster video.]

“Mariupol Residents Accuse Ukraine Of Firing On Civilians”
{Eyewitness survivors: Azov/UAF troops prevented patients and staff from evacuating hospital, and also positioned tanks near and fired from by the hospital, using the patients as a human shield.]
Very newest from Patrick Lancaster. He’s a Russian-speaking independent American journalist who is crowd funded. He was reporting from the Donbass when the latest chapter of the wars in east Ukraine began, and he just stayed forward, in hearing range of the fighting, anywhere that took him. To my knowledge, he’s the only English-speaking journo reporting from on the ground in Mariupol.

So they were basically spying for Ukraine. They could have all been killed for that. She’s lucky they weren’t, especially with all those “bloodthirsty Chechens.” 🤣

For every one of these stories, there’s another just like it from Mariupol or the Donbass, but with the Ukrops or Azov Battalion as the villains. There’s propaganda on both sides, but the Ukraine supporters here and the media will never admit it.

“So they were basically spying for Ukraine.”

It’s not ‘spying’ when you’re in your own country. It’s patriotism.

I have been watching Mr. Lancaster’s videos, and am sick to my heart that we, the people of the USA, are being so misled by our government and the government-controlled media.

It reminds me of the support given by the elite leaders, businessmen, and politicians of the day to Hitler and the Nazis. - Among them were the names Kennedy and Bush - perhaps you can help out with more?

Those of you who have not watched Patrick Alexander’s videos, please look up yesterday’s from the fall-out shelter underneath the hospital, and then today’s - the Russian soldiers working to get the trapped Ukranian civilians, elderly women and children, to safety - in or near Mariupol.

Shame on the Ukranian Army, and that horrible President of Ukraine. May they fry in hell.

Thanks for sharing it.

I ask you to watch the videos linked above, and watch the people’s faces, including the children. I did, concerned about crisis actors, propaganda, etc.

This is not that. I SAY AGAIN! These poor people are not acting, but caught in a nightmare of ignorant armies, Nazis, and liars. The Russians appear to be acting honorably, and if they are doing it for propaganda reasons, so be it. At least these poor innocent civilians are getting some help!

Take it up with the NYT. It’s in the story.

“While spying on the Russians, Hanitska also cooked meals on a fire outside...”

I have repeatedly seen and written statements that both side lie all the time.

It is the nature of war.

To claim one side or the other is the only one lying is to be deceived.

To: marktwain; All

for those of you who want to make up your own minds, not be told by others how to think about this, here is the main link to all of Lancaster’s videos, going way back.

He is an Irish war journalist, by the way. The only thing that makes me question his integrity a bit is that he is posting on Twitter.

That alone is a strike against him since Twitter usually only allows “approved” opinions to be posted, or so it seems to me. I could be wrong, of course.

The NYT isn’t much on facts. It’s like the old adage about Izvestia and Pravda although these days the NYT doesn’t have any izvestia or pravda.

I’ve been watching Patrick’s videos daily for the last 6 weeks. That’s how I learned that we’re not getting the full story from the media regarding the situation in Ukraine.

After 4 years of “Russiagate” stories and then 2 years of Covid BS crammed down our throats daily, you’d think ppl would have learned not to trust the media without first doing their own research. It’s scary to see freepers forget that lesson. They then refuse to engage in intelligent debate and instead resort to ad hominem attacks. So much for critical thinking.
