I always used to follow the war on Reddit but I am trying to stay away as much as possible. So how can I follow it without Reddit or Twitter? Does anybody have a good alternative? Thanks in advance.

Hope this is correct community to ask.

EDIT: Found on mastodon this profile which updates very frequently. Thanks to @vilian for suggestions for using #russia. But if anybody has something else please let me know ! For example a good telegram channel or something from de Fediverse

I'm also finding myself out of the loop. Civil war? A coup? What?

tl;dr Russia hired Wagner mercenaries, Wagner mercs felt threatened in some way (not clear at the moment, various theories), turned around and are now headed to Moscow and Moscow is shitting bricks. There is a lot of confusion and confabulation at the moment.

The Wagner mercenary group is rebelling against Putin and not really meeting much resistance as they travel towards Moscow, even picking up new soldiers along the way. As it started on Friday night, a lot of Russian soldiers were too drunk to be useful. Putin has fled Moscow.
