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.
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.
In an interview with Italian television Mediaset, Lavrov reiterated Moscow’s position that Wagner “has nothing to do with the Russian state”
But he also said Wagner wasn’t actually a real thing earlier? Something about PMC companies as the west conceives them being illegal in Russia. Seriously isn’t there anyone better than Lavrov to represent Russian foreign policy? Guy keeps saying weird things.
So Wagner is definitely real then, so much for those foreign policy cope articles that were written saying it wasn’t a real thing, that some people naively believed. And so much for all the contradictory statements from Russia.
