This coming Sunday, June 18, at 9 am PT/12 am ET/16:00 GMT, I am hosting Russell “Texas” Bentley, the Donbas Cowboy. Russell will give us an update from the front line, address a beef with Scott Ritter's stance on the Special Military Operation, and will state his case in this episode. Russell has lived in Donetsk since 2014. He was a soldier in the Essence of Time combat unit of the Novorussian Armed Forces (NAF). He served at the Donetsk airport and Spartak as a rifleman and RPG gunner. Russell now does Information Warfare for the Donetsk People’s Republic. Donbas is only one front in a global war. Truth is one of the most powerful weapons, and Russell's job is to get the truth to the people of the Western world. Russell also provides humanitarian aid to innocent people suffering in Donbass. His team has donated many tons of humanitarian aid, from books to chocolate, with special attention going to kids and the elderly. You can contribute to this worthy cause by visiting the website of Donetsk Humanitarian Aid at: You can find Russell’s blog and some of his articles on his website, and find him on VK, and on Telegram. We are independent and rely on donations from our viewers to continue our work. Donate at
