Do I have a moral duty to be well informed about current events which I can't possibly influence?

Edit: please refrain from giving answers that are too specific to any particular event, this is not a question about Ukraine, but rather about all events of this kind. Thanks.

I think this question might be ill-posed, because it assumes that you are able to accurately tell whether or not you are able to influence some set of events without being informed about that set of events. It is very possible that determining whether or not some particular set of events is influence-able by you itself requires that you be informed about those events. Any time this is the case, if you assume that you have a moral duty to be informed about events that you can do something about (take your pick of any ethical theory to justify this assumption), then it follows that you have a moral duty to inform yourself about all events at least insofar as doing so would allow you to ascertain whether or not you are actually able to influence them to some extent.
