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.

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

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.

Last week's discussion post.
Russia is conducting a fairly wide-ranging series of attacks across the Zaporozhye front. Currently unsure if these are just positional in order to occupy better positions and fortify them for Ukraine's offensive that they will presumably perform there in a couple months, or if this is an actual offensive (I can't imagine Surovikin or Gerasimov is going to make a statement like "Wahey, the winter offensive you've all been waiting for begins now, on the Zaporozhye front!").
Worth noting that MoA and others agree that this is the most plausible place for Russia to do an offensive from, given the pre-existing railroads and the fact that it can easily go north and east to encircle the Donbass strongholds, as well as eventually go west to take Zaporozhye city itself. Having an offensive up near Kharkov is also technically possible but supply lines are harder, and also there's just not really much there (much of the pro-Russian population was already evacuated and they'd have to surround and take the city, which is a major amount of equipment to commit). And an offensive from Belarus is also technically possible but the border is a swampy mess with plenty of rivers to get caught on, and now covered with Ukrainian fortifications.
