Where to go for information?

There’s tons of video channels showing vids about the ‘Ukraine war’ and lots of sites pronouncing on it, too.

But most of the information is pretty low quality and often simply copies of one site to another, rehashes of what one said, click bait type stuff.

Where to go for some facts and quite precise informative coverage?

Well take a look at Youtube first, I suggest.   If you go to the military summary channel and/or DPR (Defence politics Asia) or similar you’ll see on the thumbnails a map with the frontline clearly marked. Generally the ‘allied side’ (Donbas soldiers and their Russian allies) is in red.

That gives you a quick immediate idea of what’s doing.  After a few days a quick glance shows you if there’s been any changes.

You can watch/listen to a video if you like but its often tedious and doesn’t tell you much more than you can see.

So then you can go to Telegram.  And there are a many many channels in  Russian of interest and a few in English.

Such as:

https://t.me/mod_russia_en    Ministry of Defence, Russia.
https://t.me/AussieCossack    the ‘aussie cossack’ I always look at his offerings.
him.https://t.me/militarywave   a good one for showing what’s what

and there are a lot more.

Then there are sites.  There are a number of good commentators,  essayists, on Substack:
