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.

    Some premium brainworms from the Daily Mail

    'Go on, then, do it!' Putin's Lavrov taunts Liz Truss for saying Russia must be defeated in Ukraine and says 'we are not ashamed of showing who we are' when asked about his country's war crimes

    The Kremlin official, a long-time ally of president Vladimir Putin, goaded Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and Foreign Secretary Liz Truss in particular, after she said last month that Russia must be defeated, saying: 'Go on, then, do it!'

    Putin's right-hand man also parroted Moscow's claim that 'Nazis' in Ukraine and the country's growing relationship with NATO were the reasons behind Russia's so-called 'special military operation'.

    Lavrov, 72, has acted as Russia's representative on the international stage for 18 years and has been one of the main spreaders of Kremlin propaganda surrounding the Ukraine war - resulting in Western sanctions being put on him and his daughter.

    In an interview with the BBC's Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg on Thursday, he maintained Moscow's stance that Ukraine was the aggressor, and that Putin had no other choice but to send his forces in on February 24 to 'de-Nazify' the country.

    Ukraine and the West say the fascist allegation is baseless and that the war is an unprovoked act of aggression. The far-right enjoys scant support in the country, and president Volodymyr Zelensky is himself Jewish.

    Western media just straight-up lying at this point. Several main stream western media outlets voiced concern about the growning Nazi problem in Ukrain before the war started. How strange. Very cool and normal. Extra points for the "I can't be racist because I have a black friend" style defence of Zelenskyy

    In an attempt to justify the Nazi slur against the country, Lavrov has previously made the absurd claim that Adolf Hitler himself was Jewish.

    The Nazi slur....
