Dear reader,   Putin's invasion of Ukraine risks becoming the most devastating conflict in Europe since World War II. The US and its allies have imposed the toughest sanctions ever on Russia. As of March 2, according to the UN, more than 1 million refugees have already fled Ukraine.    In times of war, information is constantly changing. We're striving to bring clarity to the chaos of tweets and news about the crisis in Ukraine, with clear and measured explainers that help people understand the history, explore what's not immediately obvious, and address people's fears. We're also examining solutions and the best ways ordinary people can help. Our goal is to help people be smart news consumers and to truly understand the conflict and its stakes.   Financial contributions from readers like you help us keep this information free for everyone, especially in important moments like this one.    Here is a sample of our work from the last two weeks that we hope has helped people gain clarity around the crisis in Ukraine:   To understand the full context behind the invasion, it's important to go even further back than Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014, to the time when Europe's current divisions began, and see how that shaped Europe's power balance today. The video explainer that we published two days ago has already helped more than 5 million people understand the current conflict's history.  The Ukrainian crisis could raise food prices around the world. Reporter Siobhan McDonough and Senior Data Editor Youyou Zhou created a series of charts that help people connect the dots. We have two articles to help you wrap your head around the risk of nuclear war between the US and Russia, which collectively own an estimated 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons. Neel Dhanesha provides insights from experts on how to think about the risk of nuclear war while Zack Beauchamp explains how a strategy of nuclear deterrence has kept that threat at bay.  On Today, Explained, host Noel King spoke with Yale historian Timothy Synder to help you understand how Vladimir Putin's views on Ukraine are just a false and dangerous argument used to justify his invasion.  Reporter Kelsey Piper examined charities through the lens of effective altruism, looking at evidence and data to figure out where your donations will do the most good. Here are her recommendations on how to help Ukrainian refugees. When we launched Vox in 2014, we made a commitment to write for the public. Part of that commitment means that our explanatory journalism is free 365 days of the year.  Financial gifts from readers like you help us do this — and importantly, ensure that we are staffed and prepared to explain unexpected events, like the crisis in Ukraine.    "I find myself reading Vox articles often, so I feel it is my duty as a reader, thinker, questioner, as well as curious, passionate observer of the world and my community, to contribute to Vox's ability to provide real journalism to the public. It is important now, more than ever." –Tony, Vox contributor   Join your fellow Vox readers and help us keep Vox free for everyone by making a financial gift today.   Thank you in advance for your support,   Allison Rockey, VP of Vox     This email was sent to vox@quicklydone.com.
