I wish I could find a “just the facts” source on the war. Even places that would seem unbiased like combat footage forums are 90+% clips that make Ukraine look good and that has me wondering if Russia is truly that inept or if people are doing a propaganda-lite everywhere on the web.

Can't give you any sources (on holiday atm) but am a member of a western military and have had a few professional development briefs on the conflict and have been following with a general interest.

TLDR: yes Ukraine really is doing that well (in the context of a smaller nation having to fight a bigger one). And the clips that show Russian ineptness are what you get with a large conscript based army that still follows Soviet doctrinal concepts.

My opinion is that this conflict has shown the qualitative advantage of western military tech (NLAW etc) and that well employed small team tactics can seriously disrupt a conventional military advance.

It has also shown that the Russian military is seriously lacking in the planning, command and control, and logistics departments.

In saying that, Russia still controls a significant amount of it invaded territory and 2023 will show whether or not the UAF also have the ability to transfer their success into offensive operations.

Go look at live.uamaps if you want to see a source that shows events and rough front lines which i would consider to be 'less biased'. (Although still likely to have a slight preference for Ukraine due to how stuff gets reported).
