Ukraine War: Informational Resources

During times of uncertainty, information is critical. We have been tracking multiple resources to follow developments in Ukraine, and wanted to share these with you.

Unfortunately, the major US News outlets are filled with partisan slant. It is distracting, and more resembles propaganda most likely found within Russia than what should be presented by an unbiased and informed media (and we're referring to both sides of the political aisle).

Instead, we have been following a variety of different informational resources that we have found to be objective and informative.  We hope that you find these helpful if you're interested in tracking developments in the conflict. They are listed below.
