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.
There are regions where Russia was greeted with open arms (Kherson, Melitopol, LPR, DPR) and certain portion of the population are obviously Russia supporters. There were mayors of some southern cities that just handed the city over to the Russians and the Ukrainians later hunted them down and kidnapped them for treason.
It’s hard for the Russia friendly population to greet anyone as liberators with Azov and Ukrainian intelligence breathing down their necks and slaughtering “traitors”
