This matters, because we're going to see sentiment "to act," to "do something" stirred up not just by the mainstream media, but also by Twitter intellectuals, many of whom became Ukraine experts on Wikipedia this Tuesday. Hits different than the Covid stuff.

Just because the mainstream media is sure to wrongly report what happens, it doesn't mean the alternative media or the newly minted Ukraine experts on twitter are worth listening to either.
What is worth following if you really want to know what's going on? I would suggest there's some good primary sources. Lots of people in Ukraine posting videos, car dashcams, etc. I wasn't sure what was real at first but seeing channels with hundreds of such videos.
In general, I'd try my best to reduce the intake of opinions and analysis. Stick to tracking what's actually happening first. Better to think about what is happening where, than entertain grand plans about Putin's deep plans and motivations.
In the end, you're not going to be able to change anything anyway. Better to learn what's going on, and what people on the ground are seeing and saying. Or just wait it out. All I see on this website at the moment are 1,000,000 opinions, based on no deep understanding.
It's good to be *extremely* skeptical of anything you read, and anything you see. That said look for places where there is less disagreement. For example large numbers of videos of people fleeing parts of Ukraine. Where are they going?
