This Tweet thread is harrowing. It's unbelievable that this is happening in 2022.

While it sounds like a lot of people here have thrown in the towel, I will tell you one thing; the Ukrainians have not. Chins up, the war is not over.

Just wondering about suggestions for best resources (articles, videos, Twitter accounts, etc) to follow this tragedy and for the history on how we got here (I know the gist of it, but would like more, hopefully unbiased, info). Thanks.
(or at least what have you found useful at this point; I see there's been a few gems dispersed throughout this topic already)

The reddit live threads have been really good. The news subreddits, not so much.

They can't do it without help, and I don't see the help coming quickly enough, if at all.

Can we NSFW tag some of this stuff? Give people a heads up before they click on it.

NATO leaders currently meeting virtually are expected to approve the deployment of some units of the NATO Response Force (NRF), the first time these will have been used for collective defense.

So at what point do the nations of the world wean themselves off the Russia/China teat?
That way when the despicable leadership of these two countries inevitably pull #### like this, we don't have conflicts of interest slowing down what should be a much quicker and more decisive response.

Maria Zakharova threatening Sweden not to join NATO may become the final straw. What an idiotic thing to say. Was she carried away by this largely unopposed advance of Russian army? Ukraine is the nation that wants to live like the west, while Sweden IS the west. Now the west appears to be serious about cutting Russia off SWIFT and some NATO response troops deployment is "expected".

Nothing at all. These statements of surety always surprises me, that's all.

But this act is just... unprovoked attempt to murder civilians by another state. I can't believe this is where we are.
