There are many English speaking Ukrainian YouTube streamers that give daily updates about the War’s frontlines and situation. The Current Events and Military Historian parts of me make me watch these almost everyday.

Between these two guys I get a fairly good ‘on the ground’ picture, the first guy is a bit of an optimist the second a pessimist, but they clearly both have access to great deals of information English Speaking Americans do not have.

I would appreciate any others like this that you enjoy.

It’s not YouTube, but [https://liveuamap.com/](https://liveuamap.com/) is a great resource for live updates and a good “on the ground” picture.

[This reddit community](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/) is pretty up-to-date and seems to be well connected to the myriad TikTok accounts of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers on the ground, and so there’s a lot of raw footage in there shared almost instantly as the events unfold. Bear in mind the community covers both Russian and Ukrainian perspectives, and there are many fiery conversations in the comments.

ETA: There’s also [this interactive map](https://www.understandingwar.org/interactive-map-russias-invasion-ukraine) by the Institute for the Study of War. They publish daily updates [on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/institute-for-the-study-of-war_new-russian-forces-conducted-a-limited-drone-activity-7044485446495535104-nW13?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop).

This guy does a daily update which is pretty good: [US Reveals: Russians Getting Crushed in Bakhmut! 30 Mar Ukraine Daily Update - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avYn_bjMhyc)

He can’t put everything he wants to say on YouTube so he just started his own website to host all the videos: [www.combatvetnews.com](http://www.combatvetnews.com)

I also enjoy this YouTube channel which is a bit more stepped back and geopolitical: [Good Times Bad Times - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTimesBadTimes)
