I have been doing a daily update on the Russian Invasion on Facebook and Discord since February 22. I was asked to cross post this. This is intended as a digest of known news items. None of this info is privileged and has been released under broad information channels.
I only put confirmed items, be it visually confirmed, reported by a reliable news source, or otherwise confirmed. If it is borderline information, it will be clearly stated as such. The updates posted here may have non-Ukraine war related news removed.
Friday updates are generally short. Updates are normally Monday -> Friday with one update on Sat/Sun
Next update Monday barring major events.
