10 Years On The Ground In The Donbas

This is your authoritative source for the truth about Russia, Ukraine, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporozhe, Crimea, and the SMO in Ukraine.

No one you listen to from the USA has any idea what the Russian perspective is on the SMO, the “territories” including Crimea, Trump’s no deal with Russia, nor anything about Russia.

Janus Putkonen is a Finnish online newspaper publisher and journalist who came to Lugansk in the Donbas in 2015 after being present for the Maidan coup d'état in 2014. He’s covered it all!

We discussed Janus's background, and his experiences living in the Lugansk People's Republic, and the geopolitical events leading to the Ukrainian crisis, the challenges of reporting the truth about the conflict, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Lugansk. The conversation also touched on the ongoing situation in the region, including referenda results, civilian casualties, and the nature of the conflict as a direct war between major powers.

You can only find him on the following platforms, and I highly recommend following him. He’s been banned everywhere else, YT, FB, and even X.
