There is no official information from the Ukrainian or Russian side regarding which areas are under whose control. How do we show which areas are under whose control? In some cases, we are aware of events shortly after they occur, but are unable to verify them until the following day, using further material. We collect current news on a daily basis, even on weekends. » Read more about how you can recognize fake news on social media yourself. » Read more about how Osint experts verify events.
#Russia time zones map verification
For verification purposes we refer to satellite images or Google Street View images, but we also rely on other reliable research networks ( such as Bellingcat) or private persons (so-called Osint specialists, more about this here). We check every picture and video to see if it was taken at the specified location and if the specified time is plausible. We also include communications from local authorities in our research, but we treat this information with caution. Our sources include Twitter, Facebook, Telegram and news agencies. We record on the map only those attacks that we have been able to substantiate through multiple independent sources. How do we make sure that the events are as described? » Read more about when and why we publish images of dead people here. For example, we do not show pictures in which captured soldiers are recognizable. We do not show deaths, events that serve (Russian or Ukrainian) propaganda, or those that violate international law. Which events do we deliberately not show? For example: In the embattled city of Mariupol, a theater with hundreds of civilians sheltering in its basements was destroyed. We do not report the destruction of individual buildings unless the attack has symbolic value or has claimed an exceptionally large number of victims. «Relevant» to us means, for example, the locations in which combat operations are taking place or strategically important targets that have been attacked or captured such as airports, power plants, transmission towers or bridges. The detailed answer, on the other hand, is more complex and – because war is constantly changing – in a constant state of flux. The short answer: anything relevant to understanding the war that we have been able to verify.
