I always used to follow the war on Reddit but I am trying to stay away as much as possible. So how can I follow it without Reddit or Twitter? Does anybody have a good alternative? Thanks in advance.
Hope this is correct community to ask.
EDIT: Found on mastodon this profile which updates very frequently. Thanks to @vilian for suggestions for using #russia. But if anybody has something else please let me know ! For example a good telegram channel or something from de Fediverse

no idea why the Institute for the Study of War hasn't been mentioned yet
they issue regular reports on the world's hot spots, and in the case of the ukraine war, nightly summaries of all events during the previous 24hrs

We have !ukraine@sopuli.xyz for example.

Pro-Ukraine sources are very biased. Not the best place for getting accurate information.
Rincewindnz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Oh man, I think I'm pretty cynical and broken. My first reaction to the word "accurate" was to scoff. Factual? Least amount of bias? And sadly in this day and age, maybe least amount of emotionally reactive headings?

This website was posted earlier, it's been interesting :

BBC has a pretty fast moving live feed here:

I like their coverage. If it's something I don't feel totally in the loop in they typically include some background
smartwater0897@lemmy.ml · -1 pts · 3y
A background from the point of view of the west.. :)
CorrodedCranium@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
Yeah. I mean I'm not aware of many Eastern sources (unless you consider Al Jazeera) so I definitely wouldn't be able to tell political biasses and I'm never going to trust Twitter or Reddit.
BBC also appears to be more neutral than other sources like Vice or Fox News
Tyson712@kbin.social · 7 pts · 3y
Right here my friend! Plenty of megathreads and updates on kbin

Isn't there a community dedicated to Ukraine? I thought there was

There is

Denys also has a Telegram channel which has a lot of uncensored content.
Be warned: There is a reason why some videos are spoiler protected.

I'm also finding myself out of the loop. Civil war? A coup? What?
JonnyJest@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 3y
The Wagner mercenary group is rebelling against Putin and not really meeting much resistance as they travel towards Moscow, even picking up new soldiers along the way. As it started on Friday night, a lot of Russian soldiers were too drunk to be useful. Putin has fled Moscow.

Another good option is https://www.iswresearch.org they do daily event summaries, and have an RSS feed you can subscribe to

I've found Mastodon helpful for this

Check the deep state map once a day to get info on the front lines. This is the map that most of the YouTubers reference so you get the info without all the bs. They also have geotagged videos https://deepstatemap.live

The first three posts on the front page of kbin are about what's going on in Russia. Mastodon has been a great source for updates as well.
Edit: first 5 posts now

I have subscribed to the news and worldnews magazines in kbin.social, lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml and Beehaw, along with the Ukraine one in sopuli.xyz. I am getting all the latest updates right here in my feed. I also follow the #Russia hashtag on Mastodon, and has also added it to my favourite hashtags tab on Tusky (Mastodon app). I am getting faster updates than what I used to get on Twitter and Reddit.
