Listen, r/nuclear, disliking this video still counts as engagement in the algorithm's eyes.
(Yes, I do watch a lot of Adam Curtis documentaries. How could you tell?)

This video was months in the making and came out at, shall we say, a time. I've put a link to a Ukrainian compiled list of credible charities where you can help support Ukraine in any way you can. I've donated to Sunflower of Peace, but others are linked below.
https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/
I've also linked a fundraiser for Save the Children’s Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. They're a BBB accredited charity and have a 4 star rating from Charity Navigator so you can be confident your donation will get to people who need it most. Please give what you can.
Also if you live in the UK or Ukraine go buy some Atomik Vodka. It's very nice and proceeds go to good causes. I'm not sure if you'll still be able to get it in a timely manner. The apples used to make the vodka are grown in Narodychi which is, at time of writing, occupied by the Russians:
