A lot of footage is being posted online of Russian military movements along the Ukrainian border. We’re working with the #OSINT community to document, verify & map this information. You can find our map of verified movements here: maphub.net/Cen4infoRes/ru…
How do we verify this information? We use simple open source techniques such as imagery analysis & geolocation to confirm where, when and what is in the footage. For example, this is one of the videos we have verified:
How did we find the location? Well, the name in the original tweet is a starting point, but proving exactly where it was filmed is a bit more tricky. For this, we use Google Maps & Google Earth to match features seen in the footage. Image
We can cross-reference stills from the footage to satellite imagery to confirm this video was indeed taken in the town and filmed from this exact location. Image
There is a whole community of researchers, journalists, investigators and geolocators watching these movements, so we’re linking out to the source of that verification in the map as well.

Footage from social media showed multiple Iskender missile systems allegedly arriving in Asipovicky. Our Investigators were able to geolocate the footage, taken on January 20, to the Asipovicky train station. Image
An image showed the Iskander missile systems after they had been unloaded, allegedly in Asipovicky. Our Investigators were able to geolocate the image, taken on January 21, to a train yard just outside of the Asipovicky train station. Image
The presence of the Iskander was later confirmed via satellite imagery from @Maxar, showing a large number of 9K720 ‘Iskander’ mobile short-range ballistic missile systems gathered at Asipovicky training ground, January 30 in Belarus. Location: goo.gl/maps/pCwveZPJY…. Image

Over the past year CIR has been investigating videos claiming to show executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russian forces.

We found 22 incidents to be highly credible, amounting to 80 dead soldiers, believed to be Ukrainian.

Thread 🔽
Most are filmed by Ukrainian military drones, monitoring the frontline.

If you look closely, we can see 4 men in dark outfits here. While 3 men in lighter outfits are on their knees on the ground a short distance away from them.
Many show soldiers being lined up after they have clearly surrendered or have been disarmed.

🚨1/4 Yesterday, an apparent Russian 'double tap' strike occurred in the city of #Pokrovsk. According to the governor of Donetsk Oblast, the first strike occurred in the city centre at 19:15 & the second at 19:52 local time as rescue efforts were underway.🧵
2/4 Pavlo Krylenko reported that the 'double tap' killed 7 (5 civilians; 2 responders) & injured 81 (39 inc 42 first responders). We have verified footage of several wounded civilians being treated, loaded into ambulances, & rescued from the damaged building. Image
3/4 'Double tap' attacks are a military tactic specifically targeting & killing first responders. The strategy violates international humanitarian law & has been used by Russia in #Kharkiv, #Odesa, and #Kherson.

On Tuesday 27 June a missile strike on a restaurant and hotel complex in central Kramatorsk left 13 people dead and dozens wounded. But a false conspiracy theory was spread on Twitter that the devastation was caused by a British Storm Shadow Missile. 1/16 info-res.org/post/off-cours…
Hours before the deadly attack, a much smaller missile had landed in Kramatorsk. The impact coincided with an aircraft flying overhead, and the launch and impact was reported by multiple local sources.

2/15

The damage from this earlier missile landing was very minor - shattering windows at a petrol station.#CIR geolocated the incident at [48.729968, 37.567753]. Debris from the strike was shared by a local Telegram group and journalists from @radiosvoboda

🧵1/ Nine months ago today, Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine. Since then, our #EyesOnRussia project has investigated, verified & documented thousands of incidents from the conflict.

Our Monitoring Map has over 6600 entries. It's free for everyone.

2/ The team is made up of investigators and volunteers from around the world, including from the UK, France, Ireland, Norway, Germany, Romania, Ukraine, Canada, the US, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Kenya, Thailand, Tunisia & more. Below is just a snapshot of their work👇
3/ In April, @hengenahm investigated the Yalivshchyna burial sites, after the withdrawal of Russian forces from Chernihiv. His work was sadly an indication of the growing cost to civilians caught in Putin's war.
