When you want to know what is actually happening in a country, it is good to have input from people who live there. It puts a face to the abstraction.
I highly recommend following the Blog Fodder's blog. He is a Canadian living in Ukraine.

I am afraid that because of war fatigue from our twenty-years in the Middle East, and because of the insurrection of January 6 including the the threat Trump Republicans pose to our own democracy, and also dealing with the new virus strains, that the Biden White House may not be willing to confront Russia militarily if they invade Ukraine. Ukraine is a democracy under threat of invasion from a rogue state.
We should have never been in the Middle East; but this, Ukraine, is worth defending - militarily if necessary.
