I have pondered for a week about how I'm going to cover world events and especially this war in the long term, without losing my mind (and a significant amount of time on my behalf) staring into the abyss that is modern-day journalism.
My solution, so far, is what you can see. The update itself and the summary have performed a fusion dance, becoming a single entity (who even reads thousands of words almost every day just for news?). Only the headlines will be posted, except when a short excerpt from the article is particularly good at summarizing the article's contents (or when the article has a clickbaity headline). To save character space, all links to media will be archived, except for a few special cases like blogs (e.g. Michael Roberts, Naked Capitalism), instead of just the more MSM-y sites.
To the loyal people with attention spans of steel who have been here since the beginning, back when the war looked like it would be over before the first leaves started falling off the trees - yes, I agree, it does look frighteningly similar to what I initially did before the bulletins site was a thing. Just with a different categorization system. Time is a flat circle, after all.
Anyway:

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
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. I recommend their map more than the channel at this point, as an increasing subscriber count has greatly diminished their quality.
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. Beware of chuddery.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are fairly brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. The Duran, of which he co-hosts, is where the chuddery really begins to spill out.
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.
Pro-Russian
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ Gleb Bazov, banned from Twitter, referenced pretty heavily in what remains of pro-Russian Twitter.
https://t.me/asbmil ~ Now rebranded as Battlefield Insights, they do infrequent posts on the conflict.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/riafan_everywhere ~ Think it's a government news org or Federal News Agency? Russian language.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ Front news coverage. Russian langauge.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of the really big pro-Russian (except when they're being pessismistic, which is often) telegram channels focussing on the war. Russian language.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine
Any Western media outlet that is even vaguely liberal (and quite a few conservative ones too).
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Last week's discussion post.
The only color revolutions that have succeeded in recent times were 2014 Ukraine and maybe Arab Spring, and look how the West is paying for it. They lost in Venezuela and Belarus, Evo's party won back power in Bolivia, Iran is dealing with its protestors, and some of China's protestors are singing the Internationale so at least some of them probably aren't fans of the West and will resist shock therapy if it comes to it.
You also forgot the CIA and State Dept funded "protests" in Cuba in July 2021. The one that got drowned out by the counter-protests. And then when they tried again a few months later to hype up another protests, basically no one showed up.
