Patrick Lancaster is a former US Navy soldier who lived in the Donbass region when the war broke out after the 2014 revolution.[1][2][3]

Background

Lancaster is a former US Navy employee and crowdfunded journalist covering the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and also covered the War in Artsakh and Armenia.

Censhorship

YouTube has demonetized his channel. Lancaster has appeared in western newspapers.[4]

Death list

Although reported in newspapers around the Donbass, Lancaster was - by own report - being sought for crimes against the state in Ukraine - being on a "death list".[5]

Footage

Lancaster has reported about Ukrainian and Russian war crimes. The usage of false flags by both in telling and under-reported in western media. His reports paint a chaotic side of the war, with the Azov Battalion and Ukrainian army shooting at each other.[6]

6:31

- "Such a relief! - Ukrainian army committed terrible things here! Terrible! How we only managed to survive! - And they said to everybody, “Take your things and leave”. And where to go? – How can I abandon my flat and just go away? – We stayed and they bombed everything here. 6:50 – They kicked out people from their houses in the settlements. They occupied the premises and put there their guns, mortars. – You don’t say so. It’s not DPR. It’s Ukraine. DPR did just a bit. While Ukraine hid its equipment… - Between the houses, near kindergartens, schools" - Patrick Lancaster's YouTube channel, 31 March 2022.

Patrick Lancaster has remained as one of the only non Ukrainians still reporting from the war zones, continuing work from the 2014 Ukraine coup/Civil war. In particular, the bombing and killing of civilians inside the Donbass appeared to continue as Lancaster's videos has shown, although very unreported in western media.[7]
