https://english.pravda.ru/ (Russian PravdaReport - English version, independent, Owned by Technomedia Inc., Vadim Gorshenin, founder CEO)

https://gazeta-pravda.ru/ (Russian Pravda - the original in Russian).

https://www.rt.com/ I was only able to access RT dot COM by using a VPN server in Finland. US IP addresses are being blocked by someone (probably on the US side). RT was deplatformed by YouTube and Western social media platforms over the last few days.


Below is a link to Radio Free Europe (Funded by the US Govt.)

This is Ukrayinska Pravda (Ukraine's Pravda, no relation to Russia's Pravda. Owned by Dragon Capital who's investment fund is managed by Soros Fund Management)

Many governments are starting to restrict access to Russian sources. Foolishly censoring opposing view points hamstrings those of us in free countries from evaluating and sources and coming to our own educated conclusions. I've been reading sources from both sides since the early February. I've watched access become more and more constrained.



Damn Kingston! If you believe all of that propaganda? YOU need to make a permanent relocation to live in Russia. Maybe you and all these other Putin azz suckers can charter a plane together for a cheap one way transport over there. RJ



All of what?


The Russian news sources that you list in your post as more reliable than western sources. I live 50 miles west of the south west Ukraine border. Doesn't make me any kind of expert on any of this, but my news sources are not necessarily "Western". RJ


You don't appear to have actually read my post—the one you claim to be responding to. In no way did I identify any news source as more reliable.

I've fervently advocated for people to look at all sides of this issue, just like I've done with every other issue I've weighed in on over the years. I advocate for active participation and engaged citizenry as it is essential to a free society. People need to critically evaluate a range of sources and weigh issues on their own. My post simply highlights several opposition sources along side Western supported sources. This seems particularly relevant as of late as opposition sources are being censored by Western governments (EU) and Big Tech.

What are your news sources? I ask in earnest.
