    I found that "Vice" news does a good job of covering this from the ground on both sides. I'm sure you've heard of them as they seem like quite a popular Internet news channel. There playlist on this topic is called "Russian roulette" and I think there up to around 80 videos on it from the first riots to present day. One of the main guys was even kidnapped and beaten which he talks about. Interesting stuff.

    Just thought I'd say idk.

    Here is the playlist Aaron mentioned.

    Vice News is often branded a bullshit channel because it doesn't follow the "Putin is literally Hitler" story and often presents more than one point of view.

    Since they got rid of Simon Ostrovsky, it's a bit better. The Guy with glasses and red hair is actually non-biased.

    But oh boy, the bullshit that Simon Ostrovsky pumped in his videos. He was extremely biased in favour of the Ukrainian/Maidan side; like, to ridicolous extents.

    For example, he visited the location of a destroyed ukraiian convoy, and upon seeing craters and unexploded sheels, he would declare:" This must evidently be the work of the Russian Air Force and/or Russian Spetsnaz". Lolwut.

    Is it so hard to imagine that recruits, fresh from the Maidan square where they have been fed bread and propaganda for months, actually get annihilated by the Separatists? I mean, half of the Rebels have been to afghanistan with the Red Army. Those are People that know how to wage a war.

    Reportedly there is a mutiny of the National Guard. Of course there are no English sources.

    There was a mutiny. The National Guard locked up their commanders and marched to Kiev:

    They were picketing the Poroshenko's administration throughout today. They have now left the protest after they were told that they will avoid repercussions if they just go back to their assigned posts. Here is the recording of the ordeal (Five and a half hours):

    Nice to know that they are protesting because they are not getting paid, being denied demobilization and have to stay in the ATO for longer than their conscription should have lasted, and not because they are being killed/are killing their own people.
