• There are, of course, far more on-the-ground sources of information available. Every political entity in Ukraine (and Russia; and the West) has its own website, relatively easy to find online. This incomplete list of open sites was prepared for start-up briefings to information gatherers. The originals of many of these sites may pop up in Russian or Ukrainian, but usually also provide English-language translation access if that is what you need. ** JRL is a fortnightly (and daily) accumulation of wide variety of translated sources; very useful.
