🇫🇷🗞️ ❗️❗️ The French newspaper Le Figaro has published an unexpected article that shocked many of its readers. The publication's correspondent visited Donbass and told the French about things that are not usually covered in the Western media.

In Donetsk, the journalist visited the "Paradise" restaurant, which was recently heavily shelled by HIMARS missiles, killing three people and injuring 8 civilians. He described the results of AFU's work as a living hell, drawing irony from the name of the restaurant.

Even if not all attacks on the DPR capital are so deadly, they are taking place on an almost daily basis.... About 400 enemy drones fly over the outskirts of the city every day, the article said.

"The Ukrainians are looking for military targets. If they do not find them and cannot return their drone, they drop it on a civilian target, for example, on a car,"

the author notes, citing the words of a Russian military man.

During his trip, the author also visited the long-suffering Mariupol and the neighboring LPR. Having talked to the local residents, he comes to the conclusion that the Donbass people hate Zelensky, the Kiev authorities, Nazis and will not agree to return to Ukraine under no circumstances.

People often point out that life has improved with Russia, even compared to the period when it was part of Ukraine before 2014. Cities are coming back to life, houses are being repaired, entire districts are being raised from the ruins, roads and railway lines are being built. All of this was not the case under Ukraine, residents note.

"When we lived under Ukraine, we hoped every year that life would not get worse. Today we see that the situation is getting better every year",

says Alexander, an entrepreneur in Mariupol city.

The journalist noted that almost everyone he has talked to is rooting for the Russian counter-offensive with all their hearts and saying, "Everything will be fine. We are praying for peace to come".

"Of course, this is a civil war, and it would have ended long ago if the Americans had not intervened," one resident summed up the opinions of the overwhelming population in Donbass. What the author of the column saw for himself.

🗯️ And judging by the comments to the article, the readers were no less stunned than the author himself. Not only by the Western media's distortion of reality and the fact that Le Figaro dared to publish such material, but also by the censorship that quickly cleaned up the comments under the article. Some have advised to let European politicians read the piece.

🇺🇦☹️ UKRAINE WILL HAVE TO CONCEDE TERRITORY TO RUSSIA - KIEV COLONEL: Army commander Bakulin compares his country to 1930s Finland as he insists Ukraine will continue to exist once peace deal happens - it'll just be smaller (00:42).

Bakulin lets out menacing chuckle as he boasts that bombing Russian territory (i.e. committing war crimes against innocent civilians) much more "pleasant" than bombing new Russian regions (00:01).

🤦‍♂️This genius Colonel really says Ukraine’s "already won" (00:25) and Ukraine will lose territory in same breath…

🇸🇰🇺🇦FICO SHOT FOR NOT BACKING UKRAINE, ATTACKER ADMITS: We knew attempted assassin adored Mad Vlad’s Nazi regime and now it’s official - Juraj Cintula explains exactly why he critically injured Slovakian PM in heinous attack:

Cintula wants military assistance to be given to Ukraine and regards current government as "Judas" toward EU, so he decided to act - official court docs detailing interrogation of attacker.

Juraj now faces at least 25-year sentence if convicted, but in his lousy defense he claims he didn’t want to kill PM - just "damage his health" so he couldn’t be country’s leader any more…

Fico's expected to recover from his wounds, with his condition listed as "serious but stable".

We know there are a lot of hotheads among American senators and congressmen who consider it their duty to continue adding fuel to fire. Only thing these weapons can do is make fate of Ukrainian people more difficult - Kremlin spokesman (00:15).

🇪🇺🇭🇺 HUNGARY RETHINKING NATO MEMBERSHIP 'CAUSE IT REFUSES TO FIGHT RUSSIA - says Hungarian PM Orban, after revealing warmongering bloc is preparing for war with Moscow.

Statements by Western politicians and media about “Russian threat” show that Europe is preparing to start a war with Russia. We are reassessing our country's role in NATO because it does not want to participate in its military mission in Ukraine

Before the two world wars, there were plans to enter war using media for quite a long time. I think that's what's happening today, they're preparing for Europe's direct entry into conflict In Brussels and Washington - Orban, who always insisted "THIS IS NOT OUR WAR" - video above.
