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.

Last week's discussion post.
NATO now saying the mythic Kherson counter-offensive will be 'limited', lol
Literally every single time there's a "counter-offensive" all the dipshits on Reddit go fucking nuts and call it a turning point in the war and Russia is collapsing soon and then it completely fizzles out, Russia gains another 5km, and you never hear about it again.
Guys, I know it looks bad but Operation Citadel is gonna turn things around. The Soviets are caught in a salient! We'll encircle and crush them!
Guys I know it looks bad that they took the Seelower Hights but belive me , they gonna have to run out of their equiqment any week now ...
Steiner's attack will surely allow us to throw the Red Army out of Berlin...
All the dipshits on Reddit? All the dipshits across the free, meritocratic western media which still gives a shit about Ukraine
I'd like to see the Russian military wriggle their way out of THIS jam!
Maybe the real Kherson counteroffensive was the friends we made along the way?
“Limited” to defending Mykolaiv for a couple weeks and then doing “an orderly evacuation” to DPR prison territory
Azov Battalion are months into their tactical operation behind enemy lines, we're just a few days away from seeing results
not only that , many more azows are valiantly holding positions along the River Styxs...
Nice of Zelenskyy to do the execution on Russia’s behalf as well

Hexbear (and I) remaining unowned. I will not expect anything from the west and it's proxies again.
But ukraini said it liberated 400 towns this week!? What gives?
It will be limited to a Russian offensive
