Yup, I managed to get two mistakes into one title yesterday: Graham Phillips is not English, but Scottish, and his would was caused not by a bullet, but by shrapnel. The good news is that he is doing well, here he is making a short statement from the hospital. And, yes, for those who might wonder, he is speaking in Russian, not English, even if his Russians does sound very, very English :-) And since he basically says that he is okay and needs some rest, there is no transcript needed in this case.
Cheers,
The Saker

His accent is fantastic.
Saker, Graham is English, from just round the corner where I grew up.
For Graham, here’s his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/grahamwilliamphillips?fref=ts
He went to university in Dundee, which is Scotland. He grew up in England, near Nottingham and has a distinctive accent that places where he grew up quite well.
As expected, France (I’m French) gave the finger to Russia, following its orders from Washington.
They will never deliver those ships since Washington is against it. Most French are disgusted by this, but that’s the way it is: the people in those “democracies” are completely powerless.
Read the excellent analysis of the “mistral situation” on nsnbc international:
http://nsnbc.me/2014/11/20/mistral-affair-breach-contract-hostile-act/
And how does Russia react? How well we will wait patiently for the ships that belong to us because they are entirely paid for.
More humiliation, more weakness on the part of Russia, despite what Saker says.
It’s been humiliation after humiliation for a year, with Russia doing nothing.
And then those of us who feel sick watching this spectable and voice our dismay over the display of weakness on the part of Russia get called “trolls”.
Give me a break.
It’s like watch a man, whose wife gets slapped publicly in front of him, not reacting at all and telling the slapper, “Go ahead, slap her again”, and bystanders saying, “Hey, this guys is pathetically weak” and the man’s friends calling the bystanders “trolls”.
Russia has behaved pathetically.
but then Russia has betrayed her allies in order to be in good books of her anglo enemies.
Russia also did not deliver s_300 to Iran and syria despite those having been paid in advance.
how does that breach of contract feel now ?
All for stupid WTO entry !
In trying very hard to present Novorossiya as an already failed and defeated entity (in whose interests again?) and boasting of his wisdom, Murid could not help but boasting also of this: “Более того — по мнению моих друзей из Киева, близких к нынешней хунте, даже в период самых тяжелых боев летом в киевском руководстве сохранялось весьма пренебрежительное отношение к ополчению и ситуации на Юго-Востоке в целом. Считалось, что все идет как надо, и временные проблемы никак не влияют на конечный результат, который будет достигнут самое позднее к концу августа.”

Hi saker,
Sorry for OT but this was (ironically) censored and removed from the telegraph.co.uk:

‘The Left’s rhetoric has become as toxic as that of the hard-Right’
It is trying to associate UKIP as hard right and similar to the left and both as ‘toxic’ and is thus propaganda.
Orwell gets it perfectly right:
‘Two Minutes Hate, from George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, is a daily period in which Party members of the society of Oceania must watch a film depicting the Party’s enemies (notably Emmanuel Goldstein and his followers) and express their hatred for them.’

We vote UKIP and as Hodges looks around desperately for anything to smear us with it works in reverse and increases our votes.
Concentration camp near Kramatorsk: testimony of a militiaman after his return from captivity

Concentration camp near Kramatorsk: testimony of a militiaman after his return from captivity
After their return from captivity the militiamen of the DPR and LPR are exchanging information, which can shock any normal human being. The captive Novorossian militiamen, who had been exchanged for Ukrainian troopers, tell about intricate tortures they had been subjected to. Commander of a department of “Shakhtersk” unit of People’s Militia Stanislav Stankevich, who had returned from detention, is telling about his captivity in the air of internet channel “Novorossiya”.
The militiaman says that he, as well as tens of other people (including civilians) was kept not far from Kramatorsk in a hole dug in the earth. According to his testimony, near this hole several similar ones had been dug, and in each of them a few people in fetters were kept.
According to the militiaman, there was a mine field nearby, to which the castigators force out the people they disliked. “People are dying there, blown on the mines, when they walk this field in fetters. They are driven by machine-gun bursts. So, before liberating Kramatorks, we should liberate those people, because they will all die in the holes there. There are many holes. I’ve seen about two dozen”, – says Stanisalv Stankevich.
In fact, Stanislav talked about the true concentration camp, in which captive militiamen and civilians are being tortured, burning out swastikas and the word “separatists” on their bodies. Notably, this is a “low budget” concentration camp – an invention of Ukrainian castigators, for which they did not have to construct any shelters, just dig out holes in wet cold earth and provide one chain for several people. This is the 21st century, democracy and the supremacy of law…

“We have worked out an intense plan for the next six years, so that the country meets… Read More
Pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine appealed to the United Nations to intervene in the conflict to avert a gathering humanitarian crisis.
The UN Security Council should convene an emergency meeting to authorize a peacekeeping mission that would include Russia, the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic said in a statement on its website today.
The peacekeepers are needed to “resolve the humanitarian and social situation,” the separatists said in the statement, after the Ukrainian government in Kiev cut off social welfare payments to rebel-held areas.
JULY1/15 is new deadline:
Most Iran specialists here believe that any new sanctions legislation will likely sabotage the talks, fracture the P5+1, and thus undermine the international sanctions regime against Iran.
“These sanctions have had a negative impact on the Iranian economy and are one of the chief reasons the Iranians are now at the negotiating table,” the three senators went on.

How can he maintain that english accent so strongly when he speaks russian?
And if the mistral was not enough, the bad news continues for Russia today:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-25/oil-plunges-venezuela-hints-no-output-reduction#comments
Again, at this point I only hope Putin does not end up like Kadhafi live on TV.
I used to be one of those “chess master” believers. The last twelve months have proved me wrong.
Go ahead, call me a “troll”. It won’t change the FACTS on the ground: the situation is getting desperate for Russia.
Hey, by the way, I don’t see the BRICS super buddies calling a U.N. security meeting over the ethnic cleasing taking place in Novorossia, do you?
I don’t see them condemning the actions of France (in clear violation of international law) in support of their “partner”, do you?
Turns out, the BRICS are just a paper tiger.
Something tells me we are in for reading another 15 years of Orlov’s “US about to collapse” articles.
Meanwhile back in the war
Social media is warning the people of occupied Slavyansk and Kramatorsk about Ukraine SBU attempts to stamp out separatist-think
“As a result of the activities of our divisions DRG Novorossia today SBU will attend civic apartments, to conduct” cleansing “. Take extra precautions to the computer, including and in the phone (zello et al.), Once again remove the unwanted history Think in case of danger where to hide your phone, tablet, etc.
Do not rush to open the apartment. If there is no legitimate reason, the door is always breaking in an extreme case, but you will have time to take action. Just do not come to the door, you have from 3 to 10 minutes to shut down, split, delete. But be prepared in advance, in a stressful situation, it is difficult to foresee everything.
This announcement is better not to repost on your wall if you are occupying areas. Remember that on the personal page does not need to specify your real name, photo, address, city, etc., do not make calls to open channels of communication – phone on the movement of the occupants at all, do not send SMS. These actions make only through Internet, and the use of a proxy or vpn, even for free. “
===========
Wonder how long before the SBU moves into Kharkhov?
Cassad says
“In Kharkov [last] night was another explosion. And it not casual. Phantom of the Kharkov People Respubilki wanders …”
The police there seem to discover every explosion was caused by some real returned soldier being drunkenly careless with grenades they should not have brought back with them….useful police to have….. :)

Other places desultory shooting her and there, no great advances or retreats. From parts found on surface, uncovered Ukie burial done in a hurry with a bulldozer. No respect even for their own.
Dear The Saker,
I think Graham is English, so you were right first time. Anyway, if you use British its probably the best word.
Yes he does deserve recognition for putting his life on the line to get the truth out there.
Rgds,
Veritas
Encourage Graham! hopefully not much.
Thanks for your work on Novorussia.
A big hug!
Thak you to Kazzura too for his/her translastions.
Who cares if Russia turns the other cheek. Over and over. They are not worried about it. They already have first strike capability, isn’t that enough? Do people complaining about Russia’s weakness and humiliation really want her to show her strength? Be careful what you wish for.
Graham Phillips thank you for being on the side of justice. Sent from occupied Orwellian and dictatorial The Netherlands were all citizens are nothing but a number.
So miserable are we that most smoke drugs to tolerate our government like a tumorous parasitic cancer.
But people are waking up, throwing chairs at the corrupt judges.
God bless & get well soon Graham
Hi Saker…I think you also said Schrapnel too…not bullet..
How come he has no hair ?
Saker ! You’re working hard I can see…by the way…
Solari.com has two of your articles up on her blog…(Catherine Austin Fitts.)
From the talk at the time, he was wearing body armour which was pierced, so it was a significant hit.
Graham couldn’t stop laughing. One of the fighters gave him a quick once-over and said “He’s in shock.”
Maybe he kept saying “I’m okay. I’m fine,” and it spiralled out into giggles. Maybe he was reacting to being alive. Or maybe he was elated because he felt he’d earned a badge of honour, a scar to show on St. Crispin’s Day.
Saker,
Graham is English but went to uni in Scotland. Definitely from the northern part of England.
He is in his own league re Brit journalists, but the same as his Russian counterparts.
