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/
Google News has a page set up: https://news.google.com/stories/CAAqNggKIjBDQklTSGpvSmMzUnZjbmt0TXpZd1NoRUtEd2lIaXJPSkNCR1J0V1YzWjRMckhTZ0FQAQ?hl=en-GB&gl=GB&ceid=GB%3Aen
https://upstract.com/ <- ALL the feeds in one place.
https://liveuamap.com/ <- Conflict specific events map.
We have !ukraine@sopuli.xyz for example.
This website was posted earlier, it’s been interesting :

Right here my friend! Plenty of megathreads and updates on kbin
personally i’m using mastodon and browsing the #russia hashtag
Here is a good one
NBC Live UpdatesMetafilter continues to have nuanced analysis. https://www.metafilter.com/199733/Armed-Mutiny-in-Russia
Another good option is https://www.iswresearch.org they do daily event summaries, and have an RSS feed you can subscribe to
There is a mega thread over on kbin.social:
I’m also finding myself out of the loop. Civil war? A coup? What?
tl;dr Russia hired Wagner mercenaries, Wagner mercs felt threatened in some way (not clear at the moment, various theories), turned around and are now headed to Moscow and Moscow is shitting bricks. There is a lot of confusion and confabulation at the moment.
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.
Isn’t there a community dedicated to Ukraine? I thought there was
But you can also get Reddit updates on Lemmy to bridge the gap. Check out:
ukraine community over at sopuli is great if you sort by new, just trying to get more traction there in the form of people commenting. Posts for info, comments for fun.
Hopefully this link works, first time linking to another instance:
