POVERTY OF WAR COVERAGE AND THE UNBEARABLE SHALLOWNESS OF GLOBAL CONVERSATION ON

I would like to see neither-Russian-nor-Ukrainian (not only / necessarily "western" but that too) media, especially public media (i.e., media that is not "only" ethically but legally bound to serve the public interest as it is financed from public funds), investigate and report--with experts putting things in proper historical context and analyze critically--a few issues that I'm not getting reliable coverage on. I mean,

- you have to really, really listen / pay minutely close textual / content-analytical attention to news, in several languages (i.e., you have to make figuring out what's going on your full time profession), to glean even such basic facts that there are more "sides" to the war than the breathtakingly simplistic, Hollywood-Kitsch model of n=2 that is, two, no fewer, no more, opposing sides, i.e., the states of Russia and Ukraine,

- that people from extremely violent, extreme-nationalist, discounted-male ego-overperforming and -compensating subcultures, men with few prospects in life but with guns, not to mention men recruited from the prison populations, many incarcerated for violent crimes, are being used,

- either as part of the Russian military, etc., 

- or appear "on their own" with  casual co-ordination with the regular Russian Army,

- that explicitly nazi, hyper-racist and violence-worshipping, discounted-male ego-overperforming paramilitaries, armed, humiliated men with few prospects in life but with guns, are fighting 

- either as part of the Ukrainian military, etc., 

- or "on their own" with little co-ordination with the regular Ukrainian army,

- that the civilian populations of the occupied and re-occupied "territories" may not be the passive / helpless victims as they are depicted by the--poorly educated media with little to no local knowledge or involvement--but could in fact have quite complex ideas, political and social projects and forms of social organization beyond victimhood,

- that there is a back-and-forth movement of people crossing both the western and eastern borders of Ukraine, depending on the dynamics of the war, the--also constantly changing--specific conditions they find in the countries in which they seek asylum, from Bulgaria through Poland, not to mention Austria and Germany. . . or Russia and its allies farther afield. . . including Ukrainian men--who are, according to current Ukrainian law, not even allowed legally to leave the country given that there is a general mobilization in effect, after all, there is a war afoot--some of whom just walk across the land borders, others cross at checkpoints because they have other, non-Ukrainian passports (e.g., Hungary has been issuing such passports to Ukrainian citizens of the extreme western "Trans-Carpathian" region of Ukraine)--BTW, the government of Ukraine has never officially recognized such dual citizenship but it routinely, tacitly tolerates it, making dual-citizen Ukrainian men a group of particular interest to historical sociology of informal networks, complex/split identities, back-and-forth migration, and on-the-ground foreign intelligence operations, (the issue made it into some sporadic news reports only because, if you left Ukraine with a, say, Hungarian passport, that means that, you are not eligible for refugee assistance, which is reserved for Ukrainians, in Hungary. . . while other forms of aid, possibly available to indigent Hungarians, are often tied to a permanent address in Hungary which most Ukrainian-Hungarians don't have in Hungary. . .), etc.,

- just what exactly are the "official" visions for the future of Ukraine's modes of economic and social "integration" into the world in the--hopefully fast approaching--end of the war as we can discern from the actions of all governments involved: Ukraine, Russia, member states of the EU and NATO, and all other states of the world. . . what is the plan for the road ahead? seriously,

- that there might be political projects afoot, projects that motivate people with weapons, perhaps beyond the unbelievably sad, paper-tasting and pointless alternatives that emerge from the international media, such as: 

(1) Ukraine is being led by its nose by the "west" OR it is an innocent "nation" rightfully defending "its own",

(2) Russia is "evil" -- why? because it's in its nature" --, OR it is "saving humankind, as it has always done".

Further to the last point: Could it really be that there has not emerged one, none, zero, nil political entity / project in the entire region, east of the Estonia-Bulgaria line, through the entire landmass of northern Eurasia, to the Pacific ocean, etc., that is other than extreme-right-wing, nazi / hyper-violent / nationalist? Or, any entity that actually has a positive-assertive project of an alternative future that is not based on resource grab / resource curse / hyperdependency-on-Germany? If there are such projects, why is it that the media from the rest of the world--ostensibly "free" of the difficulties that burden the media in the two countries--reports none of that?
