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.

        i dont think so lol

        these sort of organisations have to kick ukraine occasionally "for the sake of fairness"

        if you search ukraine on amnesty international you're still gonna turn up mostly russian stuff

        Big cracks are appearing and some mainstream voices are speaking truth but it’s rare and isolated. The cracks are showing but the wall remains firm.

        The dominant narrative is still Ukraine just needs some more HIMARS and by September Christmas the Kherson offensive will have recaptured Crimea and the major problem then will be restraining them from taking Moscow.

        I think it will take to the end of winter for a real political shift. Or perhaps if Ukraine really does launch an offensive and it ends in obvious failure maybe that would crack through but honestly it looks like the meat grinder continues at least for the rest of this year.
