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
Another good link for them is https://www.iswresearch.org/
We have [email protected] for example.
This website was posted earlier, it’s been interesting :

Another good option is https://www.iswresearch.org they do daily event summaries, and have an RSS feed you can subscribe to
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
A background from the point of view of the west… :)
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
Google News has a page set up: https://news.google.com/stories/CAAqNggKIjBDQklTSGpvSmMzUnZjbmt0TXpZd1NoRUtEd2lIaXJPSkNCR1J0V1YzWjRMckhTZ0FQAQ?hl=en-GB&gl=GB&ceid=GB%3Aen
