Don't be a jerk. You asked me for something; I provided it..

Simplicius does some of the most detailed and compregensive analysis of the conflict. Yes, I would say he is somewhat pro Russian.

But he uses a wide range of sources, calls out stuff when he's lacking confirmation, and generally does a good job of keeping his biases in check.

The zeepers posted stuff sourced from The Sun UK today.

Simplicius links the NY Times, provides a Russian document facsimile, has a video of Zelensky speaking, quotes pro ukrainian Twitter user Lan_UA, provides a facsimile of a press release of the General Staff of the Army of Ukraine, and more all in this one report. Yes, he uses Telegraph accounts, as does anyone trying to get actual footage from the front. Much of it is from the Ukrainian side.

He apparently speaks both Russian and Ukrainian.

“””””The Ukrainian Army has set up checkpoints for people leaving and are seizing fighting-age men and press-ganging them right there, sending them to the front.”””””

I didn’t see that anywhere, if they have checkpoints looking for deserters that is nothing new in wars but your claim is that they are seizing civilians of a wide military age range, gang pressing them into uniform on the spot and sending them straight to the front.
