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.
Twitter dot ukraini is currently very upset and think that they are being shadowbanned by :my-hero:, citing their Twitter impressions going down this month. Unfathomable that the website with the shortest attention span on earth is bored of a stalemate conflict in what was a corrupt nowhere country to the western world of libs just 10 months ago.
Operation NAFO Fellas must be running out of budget

All the “progressives” and radlibs are leaving Twitter, which is the core demographic of Ukraini freaks and NAFO in the west. Western Chuds don’t seem to care at all about Ukraine, so surprise surprise when they take over the platform the Ukrainian propaganda diminishes
I’d like to see some data on this because I'm not convinced. I think it’s more likely that your run of the mill liberals just aren’t interested anymore, especially considering how much of the support was astroturfed in the first place
I don’t know what to tell you, every Liberal I know has been on an anti-Russia tilt since 2016 and believes themselves on a righteous crusade with Ukraine as their sword
Sure they are and we all know that, but what exactly has come of their anti-Russia tilt? Like their policy proposals and subsequent outcomes, in typical liberal fashion it is devoid of any real substance. Sure they’re still nominally anti-Russia, but to what end? If anything they played their hand (or what they perceived to be their hand) the same way the “addressed” the Covid-19 pandemic. “Oh we locked down and now the pandemic is over” has just turned into “oh we countered Russia to the best of our ability.” Now arms being sent to Ukraine is just baked in and hardly catches the eye of nominal Ukraine supporters.
Of course there are still the ones frothing at the mouth for open NATO conflict with Russia, but they are a minority of voices and I’d say decreasing in number pretty consistently, with the exception of Ukraine shooting a missile at Poland.
Helping Biden initiate a proxy war in Ukraine and send tens of billions of dollars of heavy weaponry and ammunition to Ukrainian Nazis to kill more Russians
This conflict would never have happened without Russiagate. US/Zelenskyy would have backed down and kept the status quo with Russia. They felt internationally empowered to attack Russia the moment the Democrats took control of the federal government. The moment Biden took power, Zelenskyy flipped a switch and turned from a moderate diplomat into a hardline nationalist militant. Because he knew he had “his guy” in power in the US who would back his cleansing of the Donbas. Why was it “his guy”? Partially because his power base was as frothingly anti-Russia as Ukrainian nationalists
Nope, the exception to the rule of Lib fecklessness is when they are punching left or furthering imperialism. They used Russiagate narratives to install Atlantic Council-approved algorithms and filters on every major social media site, mass censorship of small leftwing journalists and sites has occurred since 2016 under the banner of “combatting Russian disinfo”. They have transformed culture and the internet into their anti-Russia weapon, and the Ukraine crisis is the culmination of their Russophobia and imperialist outlooks.
western chuds think that ukraine is in a woke war against the based empire of russia and that hunter biden's laptop holds the secret to sam bankman-fraud's philosopher's legacy (shadow money raised via ukraine's war to invest in drag queen story hour)
is everything i just said true? hopefully not but its based on a real story, which also applies to twitter
