Meduza/Ukraine

[Khandro]

I have pointed this excellent site before, but for anyone interested in keeping up to what is happening in Putin's war this is a good place to go,

I fear there is a danger that on UK media for a certain amount of "compassion fatigue" to settle in. Maybe this is inevitable; a couple of months ago events in the war were daily high profile front page news, the horrors are no less now, but the reporting of them seems to be more scant.
Am I wrong?

The media likes to focus on what is current at the time. Not so long ago, it was Covid, or maybe China. What's happening in the world is as important as ever it was, but the media does not want its readers to tire of the same old topic. 'The same old topic' is, no doubt, still an important, ongoing thing for those who are directly involved, but, for the media, it's 'tomorrow's events' that dictate what's in the news.

It is human nature to lose attention when things go on too long. The papers know this so even if a tragedy is still ongoing, it loses news priority, since readers would skip large articles anyway.

Meduza is one of the last free Russian media outlets, now operating out of Latvia.
As for war coverage, inevitably it loses blanket coverage as the initial shock wears off, fighting gets bogged down and is centred in areas away from the capital.
Atrocities still shock enough to hit the headlines as we have seen in Kremenchuk and Vinnytsya - tho not in Chasiv Yar which was probably the worst so far.
I gave up following it on the main media ages ago. Now it’s Twitter and lots of Telegram channels

Zelensky’s sacked the head of the SBU (a childhood friend I believe) and also the chief prosecutor.
He doesn’t mess about
