A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.
If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.
Rules
- Follow the aussie.zone rules
- We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
- News posts must include some body text explaining how the article is particularly relevant to the Australian perspective, rather than mere global news.
- Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
- Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

The framing is still wrong though. Unrest has been caused by Russia's invasion not Ukraine's need for support. This why I am pointing out how it is Russian propaganda in nature because it frames it from their perspective that Ukraine is the problem. This is backed up by their disinformation campaign blaming countries problems on immigration and funding Ukraine.
That's your viewpoint. I don't agree with it Disinformation is coming from various sources, not just Russia.
I am not a supporter of either the Russian or the Ukrainian regimes. Neither of them are honourable. My concern is for all the civilians and conscripts that are losing their lives, homes and their mental and physical health.
To go into the history of this conflict we would have to go to what was happening before Russia's attack. I don't have the time to go into detail as I would have to do more research
