Russia's invasion of Ukraine has abruptly transformed the world. Millions of people have already fled. A new Iron Curtain is grinding into place. An economic war deepens, as the military conflict escalates and civilian casualties rise.

It's our job at the Guardian to decipher a rapidly changing landscape. Our correspondents are on the ground delivering round-the-clock reporting and analysis during this perilous moment.

We know there is no substitute for being there – and we'll stay on the ground, as we did during the 1917 revolution, the Ukrainian famine of the 1930s, the collapse of 1991 and the first Russo-Ukrainian conflict in 2014.
