We’re matching donations to Save The Children | Ukraine up to $10,000.
The recent escalation in hostilities in Ukraine has put at least 7.5 million children in grave danger of physical harm, severe emotional distress, and displacement. Save the Children have been in Ukraine since 2014, and are on the ground near the Ukrainian border providing people with life-saving assistance as they flee the conflict. Please donate, every little bit counts.

This is Putin’s war and to understand it you have to look at the story Putin tells himself and the Russian people that helped justify this invasion. In this video I explore Putin’s motive and make the case that Russia has already lost this war.

Thank you to the excellent reporting by: The New York Times, The BBC, Reuters, The Economist. Thank you to all those on the ground who sent me videos and perspectives about the situation.
