This thread is for posting news about the Ukraine war. Sources don't have to be traditional. Commentary must be kept to a minimum. If you must write about what's happening in a news story, fine, but keep it brief and limited to commentary about things happening on the battlefield. The inclusion of many news viewpoints via Telegram, Twitter, MSM, alternative media, and random sources on the ground who happen to have had a cell phone handy are all encouraged.
If you want to go into the question of WHY things are happening on the battlefield, that's fine too AS LONG AS the "why" has to do with the nuts and bolts of fighting a war. Sometimes news needs some brief background perspective but (Seriously, folks!) keep it brief.
If you want to talk about the motivations, deep politics, morality, etc. of the war, there's another thread for that. It can be found here. Let it turn into a morass of members being an ass to anyone who has a slightly different view. I'll read it carefully and, if it goes the way of the previous Ukraine thread, I expect to be handing out many, many short term (then medium, then long, then permanent) bans.
This, however, is a thread in News Articles. I hope we can all make posts that belong in a subforum with that name (broadly interpreted) and mostly refrain from writing things that don't.
