On February 24, Russian troops invaded neighboring Ukraine. A week later, more than a million people had already fled Ukraine, becoming refugees. Russian president Vladimir Putin has engaged his country’s nuclear arsenal, raising the specter of global nuclear war – a prospect unseen in decades. In the social media age, images of the violence, racism, death, and destruction are being broadcast instantaneously, while disinformation and censorship pervade as well.
