Out of the 6 sites you listed only the last one fails to open for some reason. Tor works too. Regarding "essential reads" - have you heard of Ukrainian drones

Out of the 6 sites you listed only the last one fails to open for some reason. Tor works too. Regarding "essential reads" - have you heard of Ukrainian drones controlled via mobile internet? Expect mobile internet to be off from time to time. That's the reality we live in until Russia wins this war. OTOH, I expect internet censorship to get stricter, like there are talks about blocking telegram again, and there is nothing good in it for us.
