Anybody who's interested in Ukraine should follow Tim Mak and his news site Counteroffensive
I'm not sure if he's Canadian or American. He's a graduate of McGill in Canada, but apparently served as a medic in the US Army. He used to work for The Daily Beast and Politico, then for NPR for 5 years. Now he's running his own news organization out of Ukraine. He and his team are reporting on the ground in Ukraine, living through all the drone attacks, then going out to talk to Ukrainians in person. He also covers military issues between China and Taiwan.
Some of the stories he's covered are things like the drone attacks deep inside Russia that destroyed their bombers, but also things you won't get elsewhere like secret apartment concerts in Ukraine.
And if that doesn't convince you, he signs off all his dispatches with his dog of war pics of puppies he and his team run across while reporting on the war.
