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.
Today's statement from FSB regarding the assassination of Dugina:
EDIT: Also, Dugin has issued a statement through a friend . He's been at the hospital since the incident.

It was fast yeah. According to that statement it was actually her who was targeted, not the father. The part about following her and them renting a place in Dugina's apartment block. The woman in question was (is?) part of Azov, apparently. Unclear as to choice overall, but important figures use bodyguards, Dugins didn't. So it might have been a matter of expediency. Someone more or less well known, someone openly supporting Russia, and someone that can be reliably killed soon.
