Is There Still Hope for Peace in Ukraine?
Patrick Boylan – Pressenza Int’l Press Agency, 8 Sep 2014

The Ukrainian government, like Israel in Gaza, relentlessly goes on bombing residential areas in the eastern regions “to kill the terrorists hiding out there” (but also the civilians living there).

I Wasn’t Invited to Bilderberg 2014
Silvia Swinden – Pressenza Int’l Press Agency, 9 Jun 2014
