I don’t get this information from the news (most of the time)…

I literally look at stats aggregators, including those that rip content from the official feeds of both sides, and translate it into English…

You can claim “bias” of those sites/services all you want - they’re still the closest I can get to the source, without a) being on the ground, b) learning fucking Cyrillic (I have started to earn the basics anyway), or c) knowing someone on the ground…

I’m not a casual observer to this. I’m way, way deeper, on an analytical level at least, on this conflict, than most people you will probably see commenting on it…

So no, that comment doesn’t hold, for me.

It’s not just “Western news outlets” that show that Russia is on the back foot right now, smh…
