Almost everyone Lancaster speaks to is saying it’s Ukrainian forces, specifically the Azov battalion, committing war crimes.
“We’ve got so many reports, so much to show the world that people aren’t seeing because no one can or will show them what’s really happening here. But you hear it from the people themselves. I’m going to keep charging on,” said Patrick Lancaster, an independent American journalist who has been on the ground in Ukraine for years.
Lancaster made those comments in his latest April 16 video in which Russian soldiers are seen evacuating children and other civilians in Mariupol from dangerous areas to safe zones. Those soldiers are also seen offering other humanitarian aid in the war-torn region.
What’s been captured by Lancaster, who is talking daily with people on the ground who have had their homes and their towns destroyed, is not what is being told in the mainstream media. Almost everyone Lancaster speaks to is saying it’s Ukrainian forces, specifically the Azov battalion, committing war crimes.
In contrast, the mainstream is consistently reading from a script.
You forgot to like your own comment again! You should educate yourself on troll farms, on Cawthorn’s connection to Russia, on his history of sexually harassing women and lying about his background, and more. I won’t attach a bullshit YT video, because I’m not a🤖. 😊

Last month, evidence points to the Azov battalion staging the bombing of a Mariupol theater.
But that’s not the script being told by CNN. Ryan Cristián reported on a CNN piece for The Last American Vagabond in which one of its sources is, let’s be totally honest, an actor.
The CNN piece is full of contradictions, according to Cristián, and they did not let their viewers know who their Ukrainian source, Maria Kutnyakova, works for. Kutnyakova, who is so sure Russia was to blame for the bombing without possibly having any way to know that, works for USAID which has a long history of promoting interventionism.
“These people have been caught lying about endless amounts of information coming out of Ukraine. But we’ll just take their word for this because that’s the point,” Cristián said.
Cristián added: “Yeah, keep trusting them guys because you’re an idiot if you’re trusting people that keep lying to you and they keep getting caught lying.”
The theater is shown with many people inside, and CNN didn’t speak to any of them. CNN chose the USAID employee to speak to. Maybe that’s because some of those people inside the theater have told independent journalists that the Azov battalion forced them into the theater and wouldn’t let them leave prior to it being hit, Cristián said.
USAID is a non-governmental organization (NGO), which are Trojan horse organizations according to James Corbett: “Today’s tricksters have donned the mantle of philanthropy, and their Trojan horses are not wooden statues but non-governmental organizations offering ‘aid’ to foreign nations.”
As for Kutnyakova, she is one of the many public relations “operatives” for Ukraine, according to Max Blumenthal who wrote for The Grayzone that she is “the Digital Communications Manager for the United State Agency for International Development (USAID) in Mariupol.”
What I find most troubling about this interaction is that this person is an educated, well travelled man who has lived in the west for many years. He is neither pro Putin nor pro war – yet somehow, the propaganda has somehow managed to get to him.

Regarding other coverage of the theater attack, Blumenthal wrote:
“For its part, the BBC turned to McKenzie Intelligence, a private contractor founded by a former UK military intelligence officer, to hypothesize that a Russian 500-pound laser guided missile was used to destroy the theater. But as the open source analyst Kobs pointed out, ‘the center of destruction sits right in the middle of the stage, so two dumb bombs can’t possibly be to blame.’”
“While the BBC seems intent on legitimizing the official Ukrainian narrative of the theater incident, other mainstream outlets have quietly moved on. ‘Even now, the fates of most of those people [inside the theater] remain unknown,’ the NY Times noted in passing on March 21.”
Meanwhile, the death and destruction continue. In an April 15 video, Lancaster spoke with multiple eyewitnesses who watched Azov troops shooting at them and their families. Lancaster, in an April 14 video, commented on the destruction in Mariupol: “You can only say every home is destroyed here. There’s not a bed left intact.”
Lancaster spoke to a man named Alexander whose daughter Kristina and her husband were killed in a bombing, which he said was done by the Azov battalion. He said Azov troops have been shooting at civilians, women and children.
Another man spoke with Lancaster who said he didn’t much care who was doing the bombing. He just wants it to stop saying: “I’m for peace. That’s it. God’s peace. The one that God gives.”
That’s the sentiment of Olga Vladimirovna, a Ukrainian woman who spoke to Lancaster in another April 15 video.
“I don’t have prejudices either against Russia or against Ukraine,” Vladimirovna said. “I mean, Ukrainian nationality. I’m quite a national, not a nationalist, but I mean, for me, nationality doesn’t matter.”
Vladimirovna added: “I just want peace. I want them to negotiate. And I want all this horror, that children and the elderly have to suffer, to stop.”
Unfortunately, the West is full of virtue signalers and uniparty warmongers wanting the death and destruction to continue as they push for world war.
