As you are still learning to write, firstly congrats on your obvious commitment to writing since you joined Medium a few months ago, you've done a lot of stories, almost exclusively on the subject of the war in Ukraine.

But to me you come across as very obviously biased towards the Western side of what is really a story with two sides.

To be fair, you would need to quote media sources on both sides, for everything you write as if "known facts"

To learn how to do that, I'd suggest to follow the examples of other established journalists known to do the same, like Caitlin Johnson, or Deborah Armstrong, like thiis artcle from the latter:

Also I would suggest to get up to speed with the full history of the Ukaraine war, which we should recognise started much earlier than the "Russian Invasion", as you would find from searching out the right videos on Youtube, that you quote in one of your own stories as a source of your knowledge.

This one I found particularly educating:
