Putin is taking out the global elites that have used Ukraine as a child-sex trafficking hub and money laundering hub for decades.
Whatever story they have titled with “live updates” is good. The “live updates” tag moves from time to time, but the tagged story always has regularly updated links to fresh info.
First find them on a map. Then ask questions. Crimea, Donbass, West Ukraine, East Ukraine, Kiev and so on
Good Times Bad Times is a good site for overall foreign affairs analysis, but the last week they’ve done a good day-by-day analysis of the war. They are based in Poland.

Caspian Report, based in Azerbaijan, does good analysis on foreign affairs, including this war.

Sometimes I catch WION, based in India, for general reporting.

For hour by hour reporting, try Amir Tsarfati’s Telegram channel. Right now he is focused on the war, but he follows Middle East issues normally. He is Israeli Christian.

Good luck. Without an organized team on the ground that you trust, you won’t find God’s truth with whatever is going on.
I leave you with this:

Fake news, fake blogs, fake posts, hard to know what to believe anymore. Listening to diverse thought and opinion is the only way to discover some sense of truth.
Biggest sign the news source is pure propaganda is when they try and silence any opposing narrative or view point.
Well, right there is your first problem, the fog of war being what it is.
Sherman's famous quote on war:I do not need to know what "the people who are experiencing this have to say."War is hell. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.
Disclaimer: I served in the USAF for six years right at the close out of the Viet Nam era. Saigon fell when I was halfway through Basic Training therefore I was never in a war. And yes, a Georgian, born in Alabama, just quoted General Sherman. He had no illusions.
Their editorial bias is obvious. They root for Russia. Keep that in mind, and they can be a very useful resource.
Retired Generals Jack Keane and Douglas MacGregor, and Bill Roggio of the Long War Journal are worth listening too.
Wife’s good friend is over in the city of Parczew Poland. She was to leave there after spending some time with her children who live there but, she has been stuck for reasons.
She says that the town is flooded with refugees. All of them scared. The Russians are taking as many casualties as the Ukrainians and are basically taking what they wish. The Ukrainians are fighting a losing battle and it is a matter of time now and it will be all over depending what the Russian ultimate demands will be.
The Polish people are scared to near death in that region.
She is in her 80s and grew up in Poland during WW2 as a very little girl.

Ask your farm friends in MO if they can get fertilizer and herbicides.
If they can get it they cant afford it with the fuel prices etc.
Russian is number one in the world in the production of fertilizers if you combine both ammonia based and urea based fertilizers.
I don’t believe Russian news or Ukrainian news or state news
This is the Russian recap of the operation so far. They are doing what the US military does when they brutally take over a country. We both blind that country’s military and take out air defense, command and control. That’s what all those heard explosions with no shown resulting damage have been. As with our maulings of inferior militaries, Shock and Awe comes next if the peace talks fail. Knowing what EVERYONE in the world has accepted as the level of Russian military capabilities until this week, who’s BSing who? Compare this with the ham handed, sometimes laughable, disinformation you see being reported everywhere in the West.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that Russian troops are not targeting Ukrainian cities, but are incapacitating Ukrainian military infrastructure, therefore there are no threats to the civilian population.
