The webmap illustrates the cases when the serious damage to the Ukrainian environment was caused by Russian aggression. All cases were proved with satellite imagery (Planet, © 2022 Planet Labs PBC; Sentinel-2AB Copernicus Sentinel data 2022 – EO Browser, Sinergise Ltd.) and FIRMS data (NASA’s Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS), part of NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System – EOSDIS) in some cases.

Important! A lot of cases weren’t proved with satellite images – mostly due to lack of satellite imagery data (due to low temporal or spatial resolution). On average, just about 10% cases can be proved with satellite data. The full regularly updated set of all documented environmental damage cases is provided by Ecoaction and can be found here.
