I have been checking multiple sources for information on the Ukraine situation.
AlJazeera (do not have snit-fit about Aljazeera, it is not the same as it was years back) is the closet to neutral on the web.
They are fortunate to have journalists on the ground in both countries; they spoke to Russian citizens and troops.
All the people they spoke to are against the war, and some absolutely did not think it would happen.
The soldiers are doing what they are told to do and have zero desire fight in the Ukraine.
From reading-- this will be Putin's undoing, there are more who want him gone than U.S. supposed news sources indicate.
