Institute for the Study of War ( TheStudyofWar), policy research organization focused on U.S.If you’re not on Twitter, some of these individuals have websites and newsletters you can subscribe to that I’ve also noted. I provide a suggested list below (just click on the Twitter handle to go to their page), but there are many others. Many post analysis pieces & op-eds written by them or others their tweets are also much more informative on average. If you’re on Twitter, I also suggest following knowledgeable people who are actively covering this war. Financial Times is making certain key coverage of Ukraine free to read you can find it on this page. You can also sign up for email updates from the Institute for the Study of War. The Foreign Policy Research Institute has a twice-weekly newsletter on Russia and Ukraine you can subscribe to. Of course, other news outlets (New York Times, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, etc.) are also publishing good analysis pieces, and I encourage you to look for them regularly if you prefer something other than the Economist. The subscription is not cheap but it’s money well-spent if you can at all afford it (note: I have no financial interest in the Economist!) The Economist also has a dedicated Ukraine page. Here’s an example of a great summary article from this week’s edition (the subtitle “Despite negotiations, there seems to be no end in sight” is itself a great summary). Even though the magazine itself is weekly, new articles are posted online every day, and they are very good. My top suggestion is to subscribe to the Economist. Keeping up with their analysis will paint a better picture of the situation, save you time, and minimize doomscrolling. There are smart people and experts synthesizing and analyzing the war every day. Yes, the information they report is accurate but also fragmented. What I do not suggest for this purpose is spending hours on CNN, BBC, or other similar news sites. This post is long-ish, but please take time to read it and get set up. And by being informed ourselves, we can help others around us stay or get informed. Why? Because what we advocate for should be informed by facts and analyses. Another way you can help Ukraine is to set yourself up to stay up-to-date on the war in Ukraine.
