Who do you follow for news on the Ukraine-Russian war? I use to follow combat footage to see what was going on, but I had to stop after seeing too many minefield and drones bombing humans videos.

This is considered the most "pro-Russian" sub-Reddit, so it balances the Anglosphere deluge of pro-Ukrainian material pretty well. The most important poster is u/HeyHeyHayden, who's content is so important another user built a site to archive it: https://old.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/comments/1pfjpx...

Hayden mostly compiles battlefield progress from Suriyak Maps (reputable Russian mapper) and AMK_Mapping (reputable pro-Ukrainian mapper). I think you can find both of them on Twitter.

On Youtube, I recommend WillyOAM (Australian infantryman turned journalist), MarkTakacs (Hungarian infantry officer who makes tactical analysis vids), Daniel Davis Deep Dive (retired US Army LtColonel, Desert Storm vet), and HistoryLegends (meme-heavy but generally well-researched battlefield progress vids).

To add to that, I would also recommend Markus Reisner from Austrian Military Academy: https://youtu.be/L89HmVKewfg

From time to time he does situation reviews and analysis on Ukraine in English and he doesn’t hold back.
