🌍 Eyes on Russia Map 🛰️ A Bellincat Article: Over 500 Days of the Russia-Ukraine Monitor Map
The article is about the 'Eyes on Russia Map,' a collaborative project by the Centre for Information Resilience (CIR) and the open-source community. It aims to map, verify, and document significant incidents during the conflict in Ukraine, providing reliable information for policymakers, journalists, and justice bodies. Launched in January 2022, the map collects and verifies videos, images, and satellite data related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It has over 3.5 million views and contains 11,600 verified media items. Open source investigators and the community contribute to the verification process through geolocation and chronolocation. The map displays different colored pins representing specific categories of open source media. Changes to the map have been made with C4ADS to enhance user interaction and search capabilities.
The map is publicly viewable on both desktop and mobile and as of July 24, 2023, has had over 3.5 million total views. The map contains more than 11,600 videos and images which have been verified and mapped to give an accurate, up to date, and detailed view of what is happening in Ukraine.
