Truth

March 9, 2022 - Updates on the war in Ukraine. Mariupol is devolving into a humanitarian nightmare. A maternity and children's ward at a Mariupol hospital was struck by Russian artillery - destroying it and injuring 17. Intense shelling has reportedly killed 1,170 in Mariupol, with images emerging of a mass grave. Civilians, residential areas, and civilian infrastructure are constant targets by the Russian military. Today we reflect on Truth - what it means to be able to collect and disseminate information and ideas in a relatively open and connected world. We reflect on the precious significance of truth at a time when Russia both restricts what information is allowed to be shared and is cut off from global communication.
