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.

    AFAIK Kherson is not predominantly Russian and a Russian administration there would be more likely to meet resistance than in the Donbass. Could this talk about Kherson joining the Russian Federation be meant more to apply pressure on the Kiev government, scaring them to negotiate before they lose the southern half of the country, rather than a Russian desire to take over Kherson?

      Russia seems to know this; again from Intelslava: "Kherson region decided not to hold a referendum on joining the Russian Federation, the region will try to become part of Russia without this procedure - the authorities of the region"
