What Are Your Sources for Information from Ukraine?

[Admin]

Please share your most trusted sources of information about the current situation in Ukraine.

In the past, Kyivpost.com was quite useful, though now I consider many of their articles to be propagandized.

The source I consider most balanced is Institute for the Study of War - http://www.understandingwar.org/

What are yours?

my wife and I watch Vladimir Solovyov on youtube almost every night
and then some Ukrainian one that begins with "G" or maybe "H"
 I forget
it's all murederous rage and BS

we add them together and divide by two
and that number tells us with absolute certainty that the war is still goin on

for the US I think Twiiter/X or whatever the hell it is called now
has some USA based produced content
that's not "WHY America no give us F-16s, which would immediately win the war"
Amerika plohoi!!!

http://twitter.com/DefenceU
is a good starting source which has links to other similar accounts
note: to see recent news, you need to have a twitter/X account

twitter is only a couple of hours behind talkin with someone on the phone in "Ukraine"
WTF! I just don't get it
Why Russia still allows cell-phone calls to/fr Crimea, I just don't know
cuz, I mean you can encode a data stream into a cell call and remotely control stuff through your phone, on the OTHER FREAKIN' side of the world with just two cell phones
and a digital circuit that encodes/decodes the signal with like 30$ worth of parts

Israel managed to embed a tone triggered explosive device INSIDE a workin cell phone
all ya gotta do is make sure it's passed to the target!
you call him up, when you verify his voice sig
and then you send the magic tone, and his head is splattered all over the room
this is like more than 10 yr old now
and the device also had a hidden monitoring function, GPS and remote listening
this device inspired ALL of the Israeli decryption phone breakers

BONUS for loyal RWD members

don't fear China!
why?

cuz one small nuclear device detonated at the upstream 3 Gorges damn
would fllod about 1/4 of southern China which contains about half their industrial base

take what just happened in Libya and multiply it 1,000 times
just...one...small...warhead...

ok...

so phuqe off china
cuz our damns AIN'T GOT NO WATER haha

*russia allows unrestricted phone calls to Russia/Crimea
because if they restricted it unilaterally, then the West would un-plug them from the network
and the risk caused by losing the dial tone, is greater than having it
that tells ya somethin

logicum ruscum

future wars is gonna be "outsourced
you have privateers near the conflict, who use their cell phones to stream both A/V and raw data on different syncronized cell phones

somebody buys a slot and specifies a target
they launch an FPV video drone with grenade
ka-boom Rico!!!
ka-ching to the privateers

so to fight a small war, all ya really need is alotta money and an "account manager" to coordinate things...
sweet!...

Here's a BBC article and they can often be not too bad in not being too overoptimistic on Ukraine's situation as in blinkered to any bad news. Still though they tend to show it more a bit from the Ukrainian side than the Russian but sometimes they have a bit from Russian sources:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66383377

I can't remember where if it was the BBC news or not but I think it came up on my Google news feed a news report where it was basically stating that while Ukraine had taken pockets of Russian held territory, Russia along other parts of the line had taken pockets of Ukrainian held territory. This equated to both sides having roughly taken the same amount of territory (taking Russian advances in the north also) and so pretty much back to neither side being clearly up on territorial gains.

Thus for Ukraine it's counter offensive seemingly being defeated and coming to very little, a depressing outcome since it started with such high hopes and military backing. For Russia no significant advance or big military defeat of Ukraine so pretty much bogged down in either side. Russia is still only partly into Ukraine with many villages, towns and cities to take to conquer Ukraine. That seemingly looks now like an impossibility for Russia as things stand by purely conventional means. Their conventional means running down all the while.

For the west I think the west is keen on degrading Russia's military and economy so taking away it's ability to wage conventional warfare. Aside if course from keeping Ukraine out of Russia's grasp so making Russia a bigger beast and a greater threat in the future.

I follow several Twitter accounts related to Ukraine, but for a daily summary of events, Monday to Friday, I recommend the superb podcast by The Daily Telegraph: "Ukraine the Latest".

Most of the .ua news sites have the latest updates - unian.ua, nv.ua, tsn.ua, 24tv.ua, zn.ua, glavcom.ua, fakty.com.ua/ua/ etc
To find more info on a particular story, google search the .ua or .ru domain sites.
For youtube, the more reliable sources I've seen are Warthog Defense and Crux.

Here is a video from Warthog calculating Russian losses and injured based on the Russian defense cash paid out.

crates of refurbished M/91 Mosins with scope fresh from storage in Tula arrived in large wooden crates, 5 to a crate
dewds who pick up these old beasts are called "Bonus Men"
they're a form of contract killer
but dang these rifles are purty and YES they can fight!!

anyone wearing a uniform is worth the most Rubley
followed by journalist or aid worker
followed by a Josef Chellovick, like some ole dewd walkin his dawg but haz a yellow/blue ribbon on his hat (A.K.A Fascist Supporter)

you think about whatcha gonna buy with all thet money when ya drop the hammer on some redfaced teenager who WAS until you came along, sending his paycheck back home to his mama and he's her only son

that memory gets soaked into the earth along with the blood
there are people who can place their hands on the earth and feel it

convince me I'm wrong...

consider "do or die"
to me, "do" seems like the better choice of the two
cuz to "NOT DO" means to die automatically
and then you don't even get to play the "next step" a'tall
which is "you smile at a women - did you get a smile back"
if YES, talk to her, if NO move on....
it's kinda like "tic-tac-toe" or "naughts and crosses"
hint: to have higher chance of winnin always start in a corner square!
Slovo!

a simple deterministic sequence

PS, Russians knew I had these, and were chill with it...
WHY?
cuz I gave "high quality American made cowboy" lever action rifles, completely unobtainable in Russia as "gifts" to moy Krisha who salivated over them!
and I kept a low profile over there and never publicly displayed them
and could backup the story of them being gifts for high ranking Russky
as well as "other things"
hell, the FSB would even admire me
for my patriotic contributions


for me, the color of fear is the color of the walls in the basement of Lubayanka and the dark world that lies beneath it
soon as you get to the Lubayanka metro stop ya start feelin it
like the distant AC hum from a powerline
it makes the hair on the back of my head stand up
an involuntary reflex to danger...
but I know how to "ground myself" to block their flow through me

dem PowderMilk bizcuits IZ REAL GOOD!!
amiright?

yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (real place I've been to MANY times both figuatively AND literally)
I fear NO EVIL
and I just said that "for no particular reason"...

when Howdy Dooty said "goodby kids"
I knew right away that adults were ALWAYS lying to us
then I started analyzing Santa Claus and the freakin Easter Bunny for Gawd's sake, the EASTER BUNNY TO!!!, WTF!!!!

and lastly I looked at religion....
AWWWWW, I get it now
Adults are freakin CRAZY, then I started to read the history of the world
and knew it for certain

all this by the time I wuz 10 yr old
everything I did after that was to learn how to survive in the treachery of the adult world where almost EVERYTHING is a lie, a fiction of some sort
that goes from fiction to conviction
IT'S A MAD WORLD!!!

in late 2024/2025 whatever WMD Pootin uses to kill Ukraine will now become the "new" World Standard of warfare
NATO will have to adapt to either nerve agents or small neutron bombs or nuclear EMPs
Russians will hold Ukrainian civilians as hostages to be used for reltaliation in reply to NATO strikes
this is how NATO will paint itself into a corner....

check and checkmate you western bitches
Donetsk is legally part of Russia, I proclaimed it so MY OWN DAMNED SELF!

being eyed eagerly by the voracios gulls who will go for the eyes first

On the subject of information sources, did anyone have any foreknowledge (or immediate notice) of the Ukrainian drone strikes in Sudan?

Edit to Clarify: I highly doubt anyone on RWD would have PRIOR knowledge of intended Ukrainian or Russian military strikes. Most media outlets were unaware that Ukraine has military assets in other countries. Mostly, I wondered if anyone has a trusted source with RELATIVELY quick alerts of significant actions. I am aware of Telegram though am not following any sources there as yet.

Ukrainian drone strike in Chad

A British researcher who runs Calibre Obscura, a website that identifies weapons, analyzed the footage for CNN and said the device tallies with those used by Ukrainian forces to control DJI MAVIC drones.
a high-end chinese made civilian drone

they had "foreign" operators "non-ukrainian" integrated into the team
guess what nationality

Telegram claims to have fresh FPV videos better than CNN's

if there WAS a pre-ordained announcement in some forum, SOMWHERE
then you should notify authorities

If you see SOMETHING, say SOMETHING!
know what i'm sayin?

AND I SEE A LOT
but I KNOW NOTHING, NOTHING!!!!
