List of Russian intel channels for live footage and actual news. If you don't know Russian good you will have to use these on the mobile device and I think set the translate option. Which then lets you click on the message and translate. You can use desktop app but no translate option for non Russian Speakers.
I cant link all of them because many are private groups but these ones you should be able to join.
I added some social media and direct websites at the bottom

Adding u/kratomlol to the list of known Russian propagandists.
Okay handshake. Nice name BTW, did you make that when you saw the Arma 3 footage or the Sam Hyde photoshop? Also it's Kiev.
Yeah, the "Kyiv" thing sounds like the whole gender pronoun situation - the fastest way to see if a person is at least on the side of sanity (not necessarily for or against Russia or Ukraine), is to see if they've adopted the latest newspeak released by the media.
Anyway many thanks for the list. What do you think about Sputniknews or Pravda.ru? I know the first one is at least prominent enough to get banned by the EU, along with RT and TASS. To me, the fact they've outright ignored Pravda looks nothing short of hilarious.
Meanwhile, I also looked at UNIAN, which is the mainstream Ukraine news source... and, by some mysterious coincidence, they're suspending their English language editorial. You'd think they'd want even greater coverage in the European trade language, now that the whole EU is looking at them. Funny, no?
We could ask them why. Thinking cynically, it could be that it's more important for all the media outlets to be in harmony than it is to have more English language voices, so they let the big players handle everything.
I think the reason places like
RT http://rt.com
were taken off the air is not that they were disinformation sources, but rather they would constantly cover things the government media didn't want people to know about.
By the way, the links at the end of the post don't hyperlink. Maybe the VK link broke all the rest thereafter?
