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.

Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

    Russians Trading Drinking Water for Help Covering Up Crimes: Mariupol Mayor Newsweek

    Russians are using residents of Mariupol to hide evidence of alleged “war crimes” in the occupied Ukrainian city in order to gain access to drinking water, according to Mayor Vadym Boychenko.

    “In a hurry, the people of Mariupol told us that they continue to be bullied: They simply do not give away the imported drinking water but want the people of Mariupol to go to dismantle the debris and help them hide these war crimes,” he said, according to a translation of his comments.

    Why is the dipshit mayor inventing stories like this instead of talking about The Russian army literaly feeding the residents:

    Military investigators of the Russian Investigative Committee prepared porridge for the residents of Mariupol

    Field kitchens were set up on Nakhimov Square. Hot meals were received by 4.5 thousand residents of the city. The children were given sweets

    More than ideology this is just so fucking insulting.

    Then again maybe its just all propaganda, the food is just plastic props and the "citizens" are paid actors and you should believe whatever you want.

      want the people of Mariupol to go to dismantle the debris and help them hide these war crimes

      If Russia starts clearing the debris they are covering up war crimes. If they leave the debris where it is, they don't care about reconstructing the city and housing the civilian population.

      When I want to move stuff around to cover up evidence of my unspecified crimes, I always make sure to forcibly conscript thousands of witnesses to do it for no reason instead of the large professional military labor force I showed up with.

      The real proof that Russia isn't 1984ing the entire population of Ukraine is that the Mayor is allowed to just say whatever.
