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.
It really looks like the Ukrainian forces on the Donbass front are seriously collapsing. Several villages being taken, including Troitske and Vyskryva south of Popasna, which imperils a ton of Ukrainian strong positions, as well as a massive push west towards Soledar and then Bakhmut, and then a push north towards Severodonetsk. Popasna being taken really was a crack in the lines that spread a massive fracture that is now devouring the Ukrainian front.
Combine that with the Russian counterattack on the Ukrainian advances near Kharkiv, and it's not looking good for Ukraine.
I hopped on to reddit and didn't see a 30k up vote post on worldnews so yeah, must be a pretty bad day for Ukraine
Fake news, the Ghost of Azov and all the scooby doo ghosts will surely destroy the russians and the rebels. That's what the western media have been telling me :so-true:

where you seeing those things? idk how people follow this conflict so closely lol i find it really hard to find good sources
72tril plugged an RSS feed of all the news directly into his brain.
DefensePoliticsAsia is a good source on YouTube if you want summaries that are very conservative (in terms of not making wild speculations and listening to cope and gossip) and reliable.
If you can find the time to read twitter on like an hourly basis consider following @GeromanAT and @200_zoka, they post a lot of stuff on the RU advances. Some good videos mixed in there as well, it's like the best of Telegram if you don't have the time to do that.
On Telegram Intel Slava Z and Donbass Devuschka are quite good for an English livestreaming of the war, but can be very time-consuming and of course you'll see lots of dead Ukrainians at this point in the war.
I quit telegram because now it's like 200 new messages every day and at least 100 dead Ukrainians at that, like some wise man said around here, ain't good for your soul.
