There are little signs on the right side of the website that you can click to directly send dollars or euros through Paypal.
Some of their reporting is original, I should note, and they do their own translation work. They put a lot of effort into the website and it shows; it's among the top English-language websites for news on the Syrian War. So why are they always scrounging for money? People can be strange; if it's for free they'll take it.
And no the SouthFront crew does not work for the Russian government or any government. My guess is that they're European students, although some might be Russian and British -- and the voice for their latest video sitrep is definitely American. It's about time some Americans got involved in helping them.
Anyhow, they are perpetually broke on account of they insist on having a professional website with professional videos they produce from scratch, so they do fundraising every single day.
They produce different videos but about 5 days a week they crank out really good Syrian War video situation reports, which they post at their blog and YouTube. Not only that, they accompany their videos with the text.
For a while, they had a heck of a time with YouTube, which yanked their videos every time somebody from MI6 or IDF or wherever complained they contained offensive content. Yes well, war is offensive.
And while they are pro-Russian regarding the Syrian War (so am I) over the years I have read criticisms at SouthFront about the way the Russians are conducting the war.
Trust me in this, these people are on the level. Kindly send them money. Better still, subscribe so you can send them the price of a Starbucks Cafe Mocha Grande every month. But right now they're hysterical. I know this because it's the first time they've put something like this at the top of the website. So I just want to see the sign taken down; it's annoying me:
All right; here's their latest Syrian War sitrep video -- by the way, you can follow SF on Telegram. (From their YouTube channel, which you can subscribe to):
