Reuters is usually my source for decent quality journalism on world events, but I found they have a weird clickbaity thing going on for the situation - they keep changing the title of their main article on this issue and make it look new ("Updated 12 minutes ago") when in fact it's more or less the same exact article.
Where would you recommend looking to follow the situation without needing to filter through sensationalist clickbait?

You should be able to find some decent news sources on Twitter. Joanna Lillis seems like someone to follow regarding situation in Kazachstan:

I would suggest to also follow Herald Doornbos and hos wife Yenan Moussa for news regarding the Middle-East.

Sadly I don’t know good people to follow regarding news from Ukraine and Russia, but you might encounter good sources while following aforementioned profiles.

I check various news agencies (because they are the main source of information for all other newspapers, websites, and broadcasters) and compare their viewpoints on any topic that interests me, because I assume that the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle of the competing viewpoints. If you are really really interested in a topic, you could even go further and read the press releases of all actors involved in an issue. Remember, all actors (including news agencies) are acting in their respective interests (which, in the case of news agencies, is usually the interest of the country in which they are based).

It'd effectively be made use of by building trusted circle (group) communication community
IMHO group there not only limited to same kind/kinship of people, it can be group of an interest (even for quite short time)
Surprisingly good was aljazeera in their reporting, although I only read some articles and no article can go into any depth. You would need to start even before the orange revolution.
Sadly search engines mostly get you the usual media suspects and I cannot find a good English source. Perhaps start here, that would put you in the middle of it.

This can explain why people are fighting in the first place, but of course people are also influenced by the old friends from the cold war.
Be aware that Russia frames this as a civil war and the west as a Russian-Ukrainian war. The truth is indeed in between and Wikipedia is not a dependable source.
