The NYT and WP have mentioned progress in articles.I’ve noticed that the things being said by the vloggers and Xitteroids are not showing up in the major media except as unverified claims. You’d think the story would show up in the big respected outlets with a delay of as much as a week if there were something to the claims. Usually, no.
While I think Ukraine is more honest than their opponent, that is an awful low bar. I cannot winnow fact from sales.
I’ll believe AFU are chewing through the defenses when the bigs carry the story.
vague but true!The NYT and WP have mentioned progress in articles.
Most of what we know is coming from the uncensored Russian side with telegram, the Ukrainian side doesn't say anything they don't first.vague but true!
I hesitate to label anything we have from social media as “what we know”. Especially since there is little confirmation in the more traditional news media. So the most generous classification I can give the reposts here from vloggers and Xitteroids is True Rumor.Most of what we know is coming from the uncensored Russian side with telegram, the Ukrainian side doesn't say anything they don't first.
What we "know" includes false information too, the fog of war, deception, disinformation and OPSEC come into play.I hesitate to label anything we have from social media as “what we know”.

Precisely. I prefer professionally vetted info. Most of the time, they repeat what the amateurs state declaratively with the caution “unconfirmed claims”.What we "know" includes false information too, the fog of war, deception, disinformation and OPSEC come into play.
