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 has been this take on Russian Telegram that I think sounds probable: For years and years the Azov Nazis has been able to do whatever the hell they wanted to. There has been no crime heinous enough to get them in any kind of trouble. Neither the law, the government, the police or the courts has been able to do anything to stop them, in many cases these institutions has actively helped them and shielded them from facing responsibility. They simply can't fathom that the game is over for them, that there will be nobody bailing them out this time, that they are going to face responsibility no matter what, be it through Russian courts, Russian steel or through a miserable death from hunger, thirst and disease.

Imaging (U.S.) cops in the same situation...yeah, IMO it's plausible.
