For me, this is pretty much return to normal, but I guess growing up under the cold war left me a bit stoic in regards to the prospect of dying in a global nuclear holocaust. Find Tom Lehrer's "We'll all go together when we go" on your favourite streaming service, grab a snack/drink and realise that it's more important to spend your time wisely rather than to spend it worrying about what comes next. Life as you know it might end tomorrow, but it's just as likely to be a traffic accident, meteor strike, or something more mundane like a heart attack or cancer. Remember to live while you can. Death will come to us all at some point, and the specifics don't really matter when it comes to you deciding on how you want to spend your time while being alive. As others mentioned, doom-scrolling will not help. Sitting alone, worrying won't help either. Here and now, there's little else to do but to put pressure on politicians in order to keep them applying harsh but non-violent sanctions on the aggressors, make them stick to their own promises of aid to Ukraine, as well as to be prepared help refugees if/when they arrive. If you feel this is consuming you to such an extent that you feel that you _must_ do something, then direct action is an actual option. As far as I know Ukrainian armed forces are accepting applicants both for combatant and non-combatant roles.
