The Ukraine war thread

Unless someone sends me a specific link I avoid US media sources. Like you, I too follow the BBC reports as well several European sources in English. Our own CBC is not too bad although it is more or less BBC lite. For print media the National Post and Globe and Mail from time to time also provide some fairly decent analysis depending on the topic.
There are however some excellent US sources but they are not part of the slick media outlets. Rather they are found with various think tanks and specialised research institutes and schools that operate out of the country’s universities.

I try to follow on Twitter people physically in Ukraine who are eyeballing the situation although there are not so many English speaking and most extremely anti Russian and therefore sometimes suspect in objectivity.
But for the usual news…all MSM. (an acronym I hate because it’s the one used by people at each end of the political spectrum when they don’t hear what they want to hear)

Especially when it all happened in the course of three weeks in a special military operation that was not meeting any resistance other than fraternal greetings and offerings of bread and salt to the troops.
MIL told spouse yesterday in their zoom call that the bodies are beginning to arrive home in the city for burial. Also no sugar or bleached office paper in to be had anywhere.

I have been wondering if Ukraine would dare launch an assault into Russian territory and if so what that looks like? An assault on the disputed Donbas region? An assault on non-disputed Russian land?

Not likely. As it is their plate is full defending their own territory.
