Stay aware.
Not hypervigilant.
An AI reads the official sources on war and escalation risk every week, so you don't have to. On Friday you get what they said: three minutes, a link on every line. It has no opinions, no agenda and no reason to keep you scrolling.

For people who hold their own safety and comfort to a high standard and want to decide for themselves, in good time, whether to stay, relocate or wait. These are the readings set by the bodies that publish them, each with its date and its source. We add no score of our own.
Doomsday Clock
85 seconds to midnight, set on 27 January 2026 by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
Official travel status
Ukraine: the UK Foreign Office advises against all travel to most of the country and against all but essential travel to listed western regions. Page last updated on 2 October 2026, read on 14 November 2026.
Nuclear safety
The UN nuclear agency published Update 375 on the situation in Ukraine on 14 November 2026.
Every Friday the digest gives you these readings with the date each was last set, and what official sources said that week. Then you can close the tab until next Friday.
What the AI does for you every week
It reads, so you don't
Statements by governments, defence ministries and international agencies, and reports by named news outlets, for every region we cover. The reading you would otherwise do by scrolling.
It keeps only what a source said
It has no opinions, so it adds none: no commentary, no forecasts, no loaded words. A line is something a named source reported, or it is not in the digest.
It shows its work
Every line links to the original. Before sending, a separate automated pass re-reads each item against its source page, and what does not match is left out.
Why people stop following the news
- 80% of US adults called the invasion of Ukraine a significant source of stress.1
- In experiments, two to four minutes of crisis news was enough to lower people's mood.2
- Among 1,438 people in Poland and Ukraine, more time on war news went with more distress.3
- 42% of people now avoid the news sometimes or often.4
Most people end up choosing between scrolling too much and not knowing at all. The digest is the third option.
It follows what psychologists and health agencies advise in a crisis: limit how much news you take in, and check it at set times instead of all day.56 In trials, getting updates in batches rather than as they arrive improved mood and lowered stress.7
What you get every week
Readings and alerts first
The official readings with the date each was set, then the shelter alerts, travel-advice changes and airspace closures issued that week, straight from the authorities.
Region by region
What governments, agencies and named news outlets reported, each in one attributed line.
Scheduled next week
Dated events already announced, such as summits and votes.

In the full issue every line names its source and links to it. An automated publication: check any fact against its linked source before you rely on it, and report a line that does not match.
No editor, by design
- No opinions, assessments or forecasts: the AI has none to add. It repeats what named sources reported.
- No fear and no clickbait: nothing in it is written to hold your attention. The format is the same every week.
- No breaking-news alerts at 2 a.m. One issue, on Friday.
- No graphic images.
- No advice on where to move or what to buy. The decision is yours; the digest gives you what the authorities said, so you can make it. In an emergency, follow your own government's instructions.
The WW3 Digest is compiled by AI from start to finish, with no human editor. That is the design: each item is re-read against its source by a separate automated pass, every line links to the original so you can check it in one click, and a line that does not match its source can be reported here: answered within 15 days, corrected in public. An automated publication by GNerdiX OÜ, a digital publisher from digital Estonia.
Start free: two short previews a week
