About Orbis Sentinel

We show you how we know what we say.

Who we are

Orbis Sentinel is an independent YouTube channel and website that analyses the Russia–Ukraine war from Ukraine’s side. We are based in Ankara, Türkiye. We started in 2025 because we want people to get accurate news about this war.

You can meet the people behind every article on our Our Team page.

Our mission

A lot of what is said about this war is loud, fast and impossible to check. We want to be the opposite: calm, careful and open about our evidence. Every article lists its sources. Every important claim carries a label that tells you whether it is confirmed, only claimed, or unverified. When we make a mistake, we correct it in public.

Every video on our channel is published here as a full article, so you can read at your own pace, check our sources and share the text with others.

Independence

We are not affiliated with any government, political party or army, and no one pays us to say anything. The channel is funded by YouTube advertising revenue and by our viewers.
