The Saker has been a source of pro-Russia, pro-Eastern Ukraine, anti-Western-Ukrainian news coming from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions since the 2014 coup in Ukraine. Their comment sections are filled with people living in or reporting on the status of Eastern Ukraine.
Of course, all the information is posted from the bias of Eastern Ukraine.
Example of a good information thread about what is going on in Ukraine right now: http://thesaker.is/the-situation-is-about-to-quickly-escalate-probably-in-the-next-days/
Summary, Russia recognized Donetsk and Luhansk regions as their own republics for the first time, then outlines steps Ukraine must take to avoid direct Russia action:
Putin said in his speech:
- The Ukraine must recognize Crimea and Sevastopol as Russian territory
- The Ukraine must officially renounce joining NATO
- The Ukraine must negotiate a settlement with the LDNR Republics
- The Ukraine must be demilitarized and declared neutral
The site is essential if you want to dive deep into what is going on in Ukraine right now.
