No update today, apologies. I intended to make one today but then numerous events and happenstances occurred. Tomorrow will be a return to your daily scheduled programming.

Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.
Have anyone heard any updates on the Kherson counter-offensive that the Ukraine is said to use 20.000 soldiers on?
I haven't, though I'm not attuned to Ukraine's telegram channels where I assume they might be discussing it. There was footage of heavy artillery barrages in the area of Kherson yesterday, but, well, there's been artillery barrages throughout the front for the last month, so I'm not sure if any information can be taken from it.
2 Ukrainian attack jets were shot down over Kherson by Russian anti-air, not sure if that’s related.
