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.

Yesterday's discussion post.
Guys, I just found out from a really insightful youtube debate that Ukraine is the least antisemitic country in all of Europe ("not even just eastern Europe!"). Whoooooooooooooooo.
There's a Jewish themed restaurant in Lvov where part of the experience is that you have to haggle over the price.
:bruh:
Everyone knows the UK is the least anti-Semitic country in Europe after we kicked out Jeremy Corbyn.
Nah, the Labour Party has :long-corbyn: and will spend the next century atoning for the crimes against humanity that Corbyn committed, and even suggesting, nay, thinking that your mouth shouldn't be able to be used at any time as a toilet for Israeli settlers in Palestinian territory is tantamount basically being Hitler.
Hard to be anti-semitic when you don't have any left...wonder where they all went and why?
It’s not even true. Ukraine has more documented anti-Semitic hate crimes than all the rest of the ex-Soviet bloc
Yeah, I know, Ukraine still has a sizable Jewish community, though the fall of the SU greatly diminished it.
The Wiki page is a read
"Rabbis Jonathan Markovitch of Kyiv and Shmuel Kaminetsky of Dnipro are considered to be among the most influential foreigners in the country."
Markovitch isn't a fucking Foreigner FFS!! (Kaminetsky was born in Israel tho, kinda cringe) he were born there, his grandparents were born there. He's more fucking Ukrainian than the Queen is English!
It's easy not being antisemitic when your forebears massacred all the jews.
