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.
Yesterday's discussion post.
Russian sources made up several weird stories about Moskva being sunk because of an accident only for it to be proven by photograph that it got hit by a rocket. Same goes for the Russians lying about not sending in conscripts.
It was the Russian MoD sources reporting the boat even sank, and US pentagon sources saying it was towed back to Sevastopol. I still don’t believe there has been conclusive evidence of missiles.

The picture shows two obvious points of external damage at the front and back. At the same time the sea is very calm. At the very least Russia lied about it being an accident on board (since two points of external damage) or that it sunk because of a storm.
I didn't believe that the Ukrainians sunk the Moskva for a long time because they falsely claimed they had sunk so many Russian ships. The Moskva itself had been reported as sunk at least once before it was actually hit by those missiles.
