With Russian bombs falling on Ukraine and refugees streaming out of the country, people are hungry for answers about what’s happening and what it all means.

But time and again, we’ve seen major news outlets fall short in times of war, trading journalistic credentials for flag-waving jingoism.

So in the fog of war, where can you go for bold, independent reporting — not just on troop maneuvers, but on who profits behind the scenes?

At The Intercept, you’ll never see us pass along Pentagon or Kremlin spin as fact. Our values don’t change depending on which nation’s military is dropping bombs. We believe that it’s more important to be accurate than to be “first.” And as a nonprofit news outlet, we’re not here to chase ratings... and advertising revenue.

We’ve earned our credibility through years of deep reporting. We’ve never shied away from telling uncomfortable truths, and we have the scars to show for it. Now, as the war in Ukraine threatens to become the biggest conflict in Europe since World War II and the risk of nuclear escalation rises, hard-hitting investigative journalism is essential.

The Intercept’s nonprofit newsroom depends on the financial support of readers like you as we race to expand reporting on Ukraine and Russia. Will you make a donation today?

There’s an old saying that the first casualty of war is the truth, and that’s as true today as it has ever been.

Talking heads on cable news all seem to have an agenda, from partisan political operatives to jingoistic cheerleaders for war and “experts” on the payroll of defense contractors.

We believe that great journalism requires the courage to challenge the official narrative and follow the facts wherever they lead. With your help, our team of investigative journalists will continue to provide reporting that you can trust to never pull punches or shade the truth.

In these dangerous times, will you make a donation to help support the nonprofit investigative journalism of The Intercept?
