ASB News is a military news and analysis outlet which focuses on Russia (specifically the Collective Security Treaty Organization), the Middle East, and sometimes Latin America. First established on Twitter in February 2020, it gained a reputation for consistently obtaining raw video from primary sources on the ground. It gained over 66,000 followers in 2 years.

Frequently the target of Western social media censorship, their Twitter account is currently suspended for challenging the US / NATO imperialist narrative about the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Twitter cited no reason for the ban.[1]

In response to the Twitter censorship, many new accounts have sprung up, causing confusion about which ones are actually the successor account.

The Twitter suspension came right after ASB posted a video of what appears to be a Ukrainian Kindergarten teacher arguing with Ukraine soldiers about moving their tanks away from the school, because their presence put the schools at risk of being caught in Russian crossfire.[2] The video has been re-shared despite the account takedown.[3]

On March 21, 2022, ASB announced it would suspend coverage of the Russo-Ukraine conflict, citing security risks to contributors. Other reporting will continue.[4]
