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 is a series of fresh blog posts going around, by a woman who survived Mariupol. She says she kept a diary, so there is a lot of very interesting details in those posts. It's a long read as they say, and there's no TL;DR, but this is the first first-hand account of this sort I've seen so far. It's in Russian but her prose is very terse and plain, very Google Translatable, so I'm leaving the links to machine-translated English version of her stuff below, if anyone's interested:
