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.

From what Orwell wrote in Homage to Catalonia the situation was kind of a cluster fuck ,with badly limited supplies and poor training. All his group had was good morale.
And at the time there were no spy satellites, no drones, no rocket boosted artillery, no cruise missiles, the tanks sucked, the trucks sucked, the only people who had aircraft in theater were, as I understand it, the Luftwaffe (and I may be wrong about that). It was a very different kind of war, where light infantry had at least some chance of making a difference.
