Breaking: Ukrainian Journalist REVEALS Horrible Truths About Kiev-Regime | Vasyl Muravytskyi

The lie that Ukraine is defending democracy or standing up for "western values" has never been weaker. But now we are getting reports that not just journalistic publications critical of the Kiev-Regime are getting purged, ANYONE who dares to utter opinions not in line with the regime is getting persecuted, even for private conversations. Society is under total surveillance.
I’m talking to Vasyl Muravytskyi, a Ukrainian journalist who has been publishing highly critical reports about his government before and after the Euromaidan events back in 2014, for which he got in a lot of trouble. On 1 August 2017, he was arrested by Ukrainian law enforcement charged with high treason and spent 11 months in prison.
Vasyl now lives in Finland from where he is talking to us, assisted by a translator to help with the English.

" NATO is cowardly sacrificing Ukraine for its geopolitical goals of Western hegemony." You don´t know the exact reasons why Ukraine intentionally is being destroyed. All we KNOW is that Ukraine indeed is intentionally breing destroyed. We don´t know the exact reasons why this is so. Neither do we know exactly how it is done.

It started back in 2014 in Crimea. Ukrainian banks just closed down and left. On a direct line to President Putin, a Crimean resident called asking what he should do, he had not paid off his car loan. Putin said to do nothing, drive around in your car. If a Ukrainian bank voluntarily left Crimea, it is the bank's problem. So thousands of Crimean residents stopped paying mortgages and other loans. Together with this, millions of residents stopped receiving pensions, allowances and civil servants' salaries. Plus Crimea has been cut off from water and electricity. Vassili is telling the truth.

Democracies hold elections after all. Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself, ” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to the Economist Zelenskyy is literally screaming at his generals at this point. One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945 . Zelenskyy "achievements" to date: 700,000 Ukrainians are dead, 3x that mangled and crippled for life, half of Ukraine's population is living as refugees scattered all over Europe and Russia right now, they're drafting women because they've run out of men to kidnap off the streets, gyms and public transport. NYT wrote about these mass kidnappings that were happening only in Zelenskyy Ukraine and Hitler's Germany in 1945 in an article ‘People Snatchers’.

Ukraine on the other hand is evil two- faced chaos, which makes it difficult to navigate as you never know whom you are dealing with. You odds of survival would be highest in a small still peaceful town very close to a border, where you could slip over to the other side at night if things get too problematic. Towns near the borders of Romania, Hungary, or Slovakia would be my preferred areas followed by small town near the borders to Poland, Belarus, or Russia. The Moldavian border would be my last choice as that country could be overrun easily and you would have your enemies on your heels from day one. Gonzalo Lira was located in Kharkiv, which is about 900 km from the border to Hungary, where he was caught during his attempt to escape from Ukraine. That's too far from from the border as an illegal border crossing must generally take place on foot, which then again mean that you have to be less than 5km from the border so you can cross in about an hour if things go wrong.

[@americanexile]

Not entirely right. Let's exclude Crimea from the discussion for now. Ukraine came into being after WWI and after two false starts, became a founding republic of the USSR. From the beginning, however, even back to the 19th century nationalist movement, Ukrainians were divided. Left-Bank Ukraine had the Galician idealists seeking purity; Right-Bank Ukraine, people who wanted an independent state but had no issues co-existing with Russian people as they had strong historical ties, shared culture, and so on. The extremely Russo-phobic Ukrainian nationalists versus the more tolerant Russophile Ukrainian nationalists. In eastern Ukraine, many of people you say rightly spoke Russian and had Russian ethnicity still thought of themselves as Ukrainian. The problem was with the western Ukrainian ultranationalists. When Ukraine became independent in 1991, the new nation struggled to find a balance. The USA however worked to set Ukraine against Russia -- our foreign policy experts published on this, our think-tanks, etc. We helped foment a Ukrainian civil war, and then backed the most violent intolerant side. This to stick it to Russia. Russia, for its own security reasons, finally intervened on behalf of the Eastern Ukrainians. Remember, Putin in 2014 did NOT recognize the two break-away republics. Crimea, on the other hand, was NEVER part of any historical Ukraine -- it was gifted to the Soviet Republic of Ukraine by Khrushchev against the will of the Crimea residents. He did this to bind Ukraine to Russia, btw. Basically, the USA helped kick off a Ukrainian civil war -- one which forced Russia's hand, and then NATO's. In truth, Eastern Ukraine is better off as part of the Russian Federation. Western Ukraine will remain the basket case of Europe. I don't see any circumstances -- on the grounds of human rights, to start -- for "returning" the Donbass or Crimea to Ukraine. Just insanity. For the other two oblasts under Russian control (mostly), a public referendum should be held. But they will likely go with the Russian Federation for practical as well as cultural and historical reasons.

Most of these posts or comments aren't in any way hateful, or even inflammatory but are simply taken out of context entirely. Policing speech has quietly become the so-called "Developed World's" obsession in the last two decades. Tyranny rarely comes beating drums and blowing trumpets to announce its presence. It saturates our societies slowly, taking root from within, and one only wakes up when his neighbors begin expressing support for no, not yet another prisoner of conscience, but for the state which takes said individual away in handcuffs. It's more often the opposite - "we the people" have to beat drums and blow trumpets so as to make the rest notice that we will soon be on the road of no return.

The comment that "good things came to Japan after its surrender" was a howler!

[@hongqi5734]

The moment Japan surrendered, their destiny was designated as vassal state of the US and the government officials as Butlers like Uncle Tom in the US.

[@dinf8940]

calling it good without a qualifier is a stretch, but alternatives were worse. surrender was the right move, what came after coulve been played better, especially past decades, but it coulve been far, far worse - just look at germany

[@Desert_Rogue_Tanker]

​@@dinf8940well afterwards their country was rebuilt and enjoyed a decent period of economic prosperity

[@GManzi673]

Orwellian "Doublespeak"

[@jukka-pekkaparjanen7590]

Well if Japan would have been allowed to rise when it was rising just before the lost decades it would have reached quite the heights. USA made a deal with them where Japan on their own devalued their currency and crashed their Economy. This can also now be known. But yes Japan has been occupied for a long time after that war.

Omg how brave are these two. Finally truths are coming out from ordinary people🙏🙏🙏

Heroic journalist. Thank you Vasyl and Pascal!

[@jaska05]

I wouldn't feel safe stating those facts here in Finland since our quisling government is working closely with Kiev's fascists. Be safe, Vasyl.

[@jaska05]

@@Maria_Nizhny_Novgorod Well, I've done it since the beginning, but only in my social circles. There has been some demonstrations, but media labels them as putinists and as a part of the Putin's plan to "destabilize our democracy through useful idiots who believe in Russian propaganda." Unfortunately too many people still trust our media and government and can't think for themselves. No matter how ridiculous the official stories are, these morons take them as facts. Cause, you know, "we are good and Putin bad." End of discussion.

Now Zelinsky is the problem. Do something constructive about it. Don't let him cost more lives.

[@ClaymanS]

But US companies already own a third ukranian farm land and Blackrock is doing the same..

[@HK-zf7op]

No foreigners can buy farmland in Ukraine that is the law

[@ClaymanS]

​@HK-zf7op The order of Law in Ukraine ended 2014 with the Maidan. Zelensky / USA proxy war machine makes it up as it goes. Ukraine as we new it is gone.

[@JohnMoran]

@@HK-zf7op Not anymore, my friend. Zelinsky even bragged about his contracts with Blackrock. That's real.

[@aleaiactaest8354]

That was a great guest! Truly horrendous situation in Ukraine, worse than I heard before. It really seems as an internal revolt inside the Ukraine army is needed here...but all the generals etc are receiving big paychecks from the US and EU, hence they dont have the incentive to do so.

[@marwi2091]

The situation in ukraine is the problem of ukraininian not ours . Let them resolve their problems themselves and on their own cost

[@TruthSeeker1511]

Until the naaasis is still there, there will never be peace. And then, my deepest condolences to the innocents in Ukraine.

[@robertseaborne5758]

While the fog of war is inevitably lifting, whether it remains conventional or escalates to nuclear, the longer the war in Europe continues, the more demanding will be the Russian terms of surrender that Ukraine and NATO will be confronted with.

[@TJ-Judge]

That is insane!!! Why would Ukraine penalise people for just trying to live their lives. What do they expect them to do??! Abandon their homes and sacrifice themselves to die??? They are civilians. They shouldn't be penalised just for wanting to carry on living their lives.

[@michaelhogan4337]

It sounds like "Other Lives". Informers, Police, Social Media and Phone monitors! It must be a huge apparatus. I wonder if the USA and the UK are helping them with this repression?

[@secondlook]

The knowing and cynical weaponisation of important concepts like democracy and freedom by so many leaders in Europe is unforgivable for all the real-world misery that it causes.

[@59Gretsch]

Even though I lived in Ukraine for two years and have a number of contacts there, I welcome this interview because I don’t understand what people are thinking. For two years they have totally believed in victory and all kinds of crazy propaganda. And if you try to suggest some thing else they will say I’m following “ Putin propaganda” So I stop talking about anything except sympathizing for their situation day today.

[@randygram9310]

Interesting information. I used to speak with Ukrainians in the U.S. after the coup in 2014 -- I tried to warn them they would regret U.S. meddling in the region. They did not want to hear it and I stopped trying to explain U.S. history to them. In 2009, during a visit to Ukraine, a Ukrainian in Kiev told me that the U.S. was funding "fascists" in Ukraine and they hoped to overthrow the government -- which would cause a civil war. I had no idea what he was talking about until the Maidan coup ... then I realized he was 100% correct. That Ukrainian then had to FLEE Ukraine after 2014 because they threatened to kill him for his wrong opinions .... horrible, horrible tragedy in Ukraine.

[@alfran1]

I can't beliefe that after so many losses they still belife in this propaganda? For them it is also easy to read russian telegram channel, or neutral mapper (weeb union, suryiak maps)

[@JohnMoran]

I've heard a description of Germany at the end of WWI. That soldiers were told each day through propaganda that they were winning. And in reality they had been losing badly. So when it did collapse, soldiers were shocked and couldn't believe it. These soldiers never got over it, and felt they had been 'robbed' of something that was sure. And we know who they blamed.

[@alfran1]

@@JohnMoran That's not completly correct. After the peace treaty (Brest-Litowsk, 1918) with russia numerous german troops were free to join the western front. The battle of Amiens, were the Alllies have been succesful started at august 1918. Before everything was open. And there was a real reason soldiers felt betrayed: the November revolution in germany. They felt they were betrayed at their "back". In summary the time were it was clear that germany will loose the war was probably only 2 or 3 month before the end. So it was not like you assume that german soldiers were since long time kept in line with propaganda whereas the war was already lost.

[@akap_987]

The situation that Ukraine is in is truly tragic. Ukrainians are a huge victims of this geopolitical competition. I wish it was not so and Ukrainians could achieve peace and well being without this sort of false choice of Russia versus West.😢

[@juiceofsapho]

There is no competition here, Russia didn't start this war to gain anything it was a matter of protection of Russian state and of its citizens.

[@indycoon]

The best choice for Ukrainians would be to separate with lands where people actually speak Ukrainian. It was a bad idea to try to spread their nationalism and slogans like "Ukraine for Ukrainians" to lands populated by ethnic Russians. It's called ethnocide. You can't reject people from speaking their language and keeping their culture and religion. It was a mistake. When western people cry about Ukrainians, they don't know that a majority of them speak Russian and a big part of them support Russia. They were just left with no representation in the Ukrainian powers after the western instigated coup.
