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.

Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

      And yet...

      Kremlin denies reports that Russia will not discuss Kherson, Zaporozhye status with Kiev TASS

      Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied the Izvestia newspaper's publication that Moscow will not discuss the status of Kherson and Zaporozhye with Kiev.

      "No, it's all wrong. <...> No, this is incorrect information," he said on Tuesday, commenting on the report that the status of Zaporozhye and Kherson would not be discussed in a new agreement with Ukraine if negotiations resumed.

      The publication's source said that the Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions will not be included in the new agreement between Russia and Kiev because the overwhelming majority of the region's residents support Russia.
