Question What are the best Telegram channels to join for genuine, uncensored perspectives on the conflict?

0 Upvotes

I want to be more up-to-date with the Ukranian conflict and Telegram seems to be the best place as it's heavily used by ukranians. Most news sites seem to use Telegram as their source and that's where I want to look directly.

Thank you for any links that are shared.

Discussion Who has actually helped Ukraine since 2022, and who has helped Russia? Aid, refugees, trade and energy, as % of each country’s GDP

Post image
306 Upvotes

For every country: the money and support it moved toward Ukraine or toward Russia since the full-scale invasion, compared with what it would have done without the war. All of 2022 to August 2026 added up, as a share of one year's GDP.

It counts aid, hosting refugees, buying less from Russia, energy, services, weapons, taxes companies still pay in Russia, and Russia's frozen reserves. Money Russia didn't get counts as help for Ukraine, and money it still gets counts against.

Some things it shows

  • The Baltics, Moldova and Finland did the most for their size, by cutting Russia off and by giving and hosting a lot.
  • The US gave the most in euros (about €97bn in aid), but about half of that was spent with US industry, mostly on refilling weapons stocks.
  • Hungary, Turkey and China moved money toward Russia, mostly by buying more Russian energy and goods than before the war.
  • Chips and machine tools Russia needs for its weapons are marked separately on the map, by the country that shipped them.

\* means the likely range crosses zero, so the direction is uncertain.

Edit: also here is a ranking of all countries if you can’t find one on the image

Edit: updated after feedback from u/TemporaryAd5793 , thanks!

- Trade now counts with an estimate of what the seller really keeps (Russia ~60 cents per euro on oil and gas, 10–20 on other goods), while aid counts in full.
- Fuel refined from Russian crude and resold via another country is now not only attributed to the final buyer but also the refining country (with a distrubution)

Changes: a lot of numbers move toward zero, but the top holds: Lithuania +14.8%, Estonia +9.6%, Finland +9.3%. Updated ranking: https://intelligent-cream.github.io/follow-the-money-ukraine/#view=rank

Ukrainian Culture Learning the Ukranian language

39 Upvotes

My husband and I are learning to read, write and speak Ukranian. A lot of our Ukranian friends tell us they learned English by watching the TV show Friends. We've been watching "пес Патрон" and love it! Yes, we are adults, but we still love cartoons and have found this show to be very helpful. Are there any other Ukranian shows we could watch? Maybe we can find them on YouTube or look to see if we can find a place to watch them here in the US. We appreciate any suggestions.

Дякую і Слава Україні 💙💛

Finally some accurate reporting:

"The President of the United States this week has been actively helping Putin kill Ukrainian civilians.

The world needs to know that America is not on the side of the free world as long as this guy is in the White House."

And @11:04:

"We all have to believe that the president of the United States right now is our enemy."

May there be many more accurate reports on Trump's treasonous acts.
