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.

Nazi-adjacent Brits have entered the "And Find Out" portion of their military adventure. Apparently captured along with Azov in Mariupol.
If I was them I would have just stayed at home
RIP to them but I’m just built different
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime :shrug-outta-hecks:
one of them has lived in ukraine for 4 years
If you call serving with Nazis as a mercenary "living"
Same stuff but from Telegram: "The DPR court sentenced to death the foreign mercenaries who fought against Donbass and the Russian Federation. Mercenaries sentenced to death who fought on the Ukrainian side in the Donbass can appeal the decision of the DPR court within a month and ask for a pardon. If the head of the DPR pardons the convicts, the death penalty can be commuted to life or 25 years in prison.
The death penalty, according to the laws of the DPR, is carried out by firing squad." Edit: the source - https://t.me/EurasianChoice/14969
It's so transparent how every "pro-Russia official" is specified as such so you know they're wrong ahead of time, yet to see a "pro-Ukraine official" mentioned in these articles.
It is funny how transparently partisan they are in their coverage of war crimes trials. When pro-Ukrainian officials convict Russians, they talk about murder, war crimes and humanised the victims by giving little personal details like their age but when they talk about allied courts convicting pro-Ukrainian combattants, it's all "show trials" and "trumped up charges".
Honestly all war crimes trials are show trials, and always have been. Victor's justice, nothing more.
I love how that angloid rag goes to such great lengths not to tell who sentenced the three mercenaries. Instead of "a Donetsk court" or even "a court in the unrecognised separatist Donetsk republic" we are just told that "pro-Russian officials" did it.
It is also funny how the angloids just assume that the two British mercenaries will be used INA prisoner exchange instead of actually going to pay for their crimes (fuck the Moroccan guy though). Nothing bad can ever happen to good and white people.
You can’t kill Aiden he’s the protagonist :rage-cry:
