Who is Patrick Lancaster and why is his perspective unique in covering the Ukraine/Russia war?
Over the past three years, hundreds, maybe thousands of Western journalists have covered the war in Ukraine from Ukraine and effectively been attached to the Ukrainian government and its military and its many propaganda outlets, taking their talking points from Ukrainian government officials, interviewing President Zelenskyy Always in the most fawning possible way and effectively carrying water for both the Ukrainian government and NATO and above all for the Biden administration. On the other side in this war that the United States has effectively paid for, there is one Western journalist, one American embedded with Russian troops. His name is Patrick Lancaster. He's from St. Louis, Missouri. He's a U.S.
Navy veteran. And for the past 11 years, he's been reporting from the region. For the past three years, he's been reporting from the front lines. He's been interviewed by precisely no other mainstream Western media organizations. And so it raises the question, how can you understand a war you're expected to take sides in and then pay for if you're not hearing truth? So with that in mind, here's Patrick Lancaster. Patrick Lancaster, thank you so much for joining us. So you're one of the only maybe the only American reporter embedded with Russian troops in this war. How long have you been there?
When did the Ukraine/Russia conflict really begin according to Patrick Lancaster?
Hi, Tucker. It's really an honor to be on here with you to show a little bit to the world about what the mainstream media does and wants a lot of the people around the world to see. So it's really great, and I appreciate the invitation. I have been covering this conflict, this war, for a lot longer than... Many people understand that it's going on. As you know, this didn't start three years ago. It started in 2014. Some say even before, but for all intents and purposes, we could say 2014 when the war started following the events in Crimea where Crimea rejoins Russia because there was a referendum. That's where I first started reporting on the situation between Russia and Ukraine. I went to Crimea for the referendum where the Crimean people voted to break away from Ukraine and join Russia, rejoin Russia, because before 1956, Crimea was part of Russia. So if you think about this, the people that were born before that year were born in Russia. So there's people living that were born in Russia that were literally born
so happy to be joining Russia again, going home as the people on the streets told me when I was there. And I've been there almost every year reporting since then as well. But that's what really triggered my interest and intensity in reporting on the situation between Ukraine and Russia. Because when I went from Europe to Crimea and saw the a huge difference in what was being reported in the Western mainstream media about the real situation in Crimea. We're hearing in the West how Russian forces were going to be making people vote to break away from Ukraine and join Russia. And I saw just the total opposite. People just crying out of happiness to have the chance to rejoin Russia. And those are the real facts. And anyone who
that has been to Crimea knows that. And anyone that says something besides that is just not telling the truth and trying to hide the truth. And unfortunately, after the events in Crimea where they joined the northern regions of Donetsk and Lugansk ended up becoming part of what you could say a civil war, where they as well had a referendum to break away from Ukraine. And that preceded the eight-year war, eight-year civil war, where after the vote, the that they call themselves Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, started to make their own governments, make their own militaries, and they were attacked after this referendum by Ukraine. And I spent eight years covering the situation in the Donetsk and Lugansk areas
Just documenting my part of the puzzle or the pie that wasn't being shown in the Western mainstream media, because what I was showing then and now, what Western mainstream media doesn't, it's not convenient for them to show, doesn't fit their narrative. So I documented what they weren't. the indiscriminate shelling of residential areas by Ukraine, the targeting of civilian areas by Ukraine.
