About us
Our Organization
OSINT FOR UKRAINE is an independent investigative (non-profit) foundation dedicated to using Open Source Intelligence to investigate International crimes committed in relation to the Russo-Ukrainian war, Research Influence and Disinformation operations in Europe, and to provide Specialized OSINT and OPSEC advisory and training. The foundation comprises a multinational team of professionals who possess knowledge and professional experience in Intelligence, OSINT investigations, international criminal, humanitarian and human rights law as well as investigative journalism.
Currently, OSINT FOR UKRAINE has three operational departments and supporting departments/groups (Public Affairs, General Secretariat and Operational Security), which amounts to more than 70 members (board, staff and volunteers).
Our Foundation is currently fully self funded and we are currently searching for funding sources for our investigations and to cover operational costs.
Mission Statement
To achieve Political, Social and Legal accountability for victims of international crimes committed during the Russian invasion and occupation of Ukraine via OSINT methodology. We achieve this Mission by our threefold vision:
Justice - Our International Crimes Investigations Group (ICIG) made up of investigators and legal analysts (ICL, IHL and Human Rights) conducts in depth investigations, analysis of several international crimes committed in relation to the Russo-Ukrainian war, collection of potential evidence and searches for avenues of accountability for those violations by cooperating with several international and european accountability bodies and legal accountability NGOs.
Truth - The Center for Influence and Disinformation Research (CIDER) uses OSINT methodology combined with investigative journalism and academic research to conduct investigations into Russian and foreign influence and disinformation campaigns in Europe and better understand how disinformation spreads in order to develop tools (software and technology development) to fight it, such as developing a reliability index tool for OSINT in social media environments.
Memory - “Project Mariupol: A Record of Evil” is our standalone experimental project where we conduct sourcing and mapping of potential international crimes committed in Ukraine via Open sources and aggregate them on a map database to create a historical archive. This experimental project serves as a testament to how civilians and beginners in OSINT and investigations can source data on international crimes.
