In the early days of the full scale war after russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 there was quite a lot of news coverage by traditional media. There were also a few YouTube channels covering the war from inside Ukraine. Over time that changed in many countries so these days there is little coverage by traditional media, and many YouTube channels of varying quality providing news, analysis and personal experiences about the war.
Below are some of the YouTube channels I currently follow and find useful to keep up with what is going on related to the russian war in Ukraine:
