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

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
