Ukrainian developers have connected machine learning to the monitoring of Russian propaganda. The website https://warofwords.info/ offers a search for key Russian TV channels, RuTube, YouTube channels, and Telegram channels. Videos are fully transcribed, which can greatly facilitate the work of fact-checkers. Search by keywords, speakers, sources, types of resources, and specific TV shows are available. There used to be (and there are, and I use them) tools on Azure that allowed something similar, but the input level was higher purely technically. There were no options for such a detailed analysis of a specific range of sources. Features:  - Data available since 2013. I hope developers will expand the timeline. But it's still cool.   - The tool is not only focused on the Ukrainian agenda. Try searching 'Kazakhstan' and you'll see. - It operates in both Russian and English. - Compared to Google and Yandex searches, the output is often more relevant, as the segment is narrower. "Often" does not equal "always", don't forget about dorks and other useful things.  - Not all notable characters are marked in the databases, as the AI is still learning, but the key ones are easy to find.  - The database does not cover all TV channels of interest for research, but it includes the main ones.  - The tool is fast and user-friendly. Overall, this tool is valuable and deserves a spot in the browser bookmarks of fact-checkers and OSINT professionals.

Every day you see a lot of news and media from #Ukraine posted on LinkedIn. Do you want to be among the first to read or post some breaking news about the war? It’s as easy as 1-2-3. 1. Download a Telegram app and subscribe to one or more reliable Ukrainian news channels. 2. Get a notification from your favourite channel and open the most recent article. 3. If needed, translate the article to understand if it’s worth your attention. Save the article media file(s) to your personal device. Copy/paste/edit and post the content on LinkedIn, attaching the corresponding media file(s). Done! If you just beginning with this, the amount of relevant channels could be overwhelming. To save your time I can recommend just a couple of channels to start with: 1. UNITED24Media: https://t.me/United24media This channel translates the news in English, which is very handy for those who don’t want to deal with translation. While some news may not be up to the minute, this channel has media with English subtitles too, so it gives you a ready to post material for LinkedIn. 2. OperativnoZSU: https://t.me/operativnoZSU This is one of the main Ukrainian news Telegram channels about the war. It usually gathers and posts the most recent news (and a lot of media) from different other channels, so you don’t have to browse dozens of them yourself. There are of course plenty of other reliable channels with their own great content. If you like more recommendations to work with just let me know! 📹 How to get the content to post on LinkedIn from a Ukrainian Telegram channel: from OperativnoZSU about the recent return of Ukrainian defenders from captivity.

russia continue to send tanks and other military equipment to the border with Ukraine. this terrorist state don’t think of negotiations, no a single sign of it. Please stand with Ukraine! Ask your governments to support with military aid as quickly as possible. Recent statistics is showing that russia is able to fulfill own war related needs 2-4 times faster that US and Europe combined are helping Ukraine to win. Future decisions should be more prompt , decisive and brave in order Ukraine to stop these orcas for good, once and for all.

Military target? Well... People going to a DIY store to purchase materials go repair from the bombs on a publisher / book printing company in Kharkiv are surprised by two glidebombs on Epicenter DIY store. Kharkiv centre of the city isn't safe anymore. Another Mariupol? Bakhmut? Avdiivka? War is terrible but is bound by rules. This however is terrorism. Terrorism is without rules and without ANY consideration to human suffering. Whatever story the Kremlin tells, these kind of attacks proof terrorism. NATO partners please allow Ukraine to make use of donsted weapons systems to create a safe zone around the borders. It's not possible to defend with one's hands tied to your back. #stopthewar

What Foreign Companies Should Know About Martial Law in Ukraine As Ukraine continues to navigate the complexities of martial law, foreign companies looking to establish or maintain operations in the region must be well-prepared and informed. Martial law was initially imposed on February 24, 2022, and remains in effect to date, aimed at safeguarding Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Current Business Environment Under Martial Law 1. **Financial Controls**:   - Semi-regulated currency exchange rate.   - Prohibition of cross-border monetary transfers, with specific exceptions.   - Daily cash withdrawal limit for individuals capped at UAH 100,000 (approx. USD 2,700).   - Special permits required for certain transactions, granted by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. 2. **Mobilization and IT Specialist Reservations**:   - General mobilization impacts men aged 18 to 60, with exceptions for critical industries.   - IT specialists can be reserved from mobilization if their company meets specified economic criteria, such as significant tax contributions or strategic importance to national security. As of March 15, 2024, approximately 2,600 IT specialists from about 200 companies have been reserved, with an additional 2,600 undergoing approval by the General Staff/Ministry of Economy. 3. **Travel Restrictions**:   - Potential conscripts are restricted from leaving Ukraine, affecting business travel plans. Key Considerations for Foreign Businesses ▪️Stay Informed: Regularly check updates on martial law status and related regulations. ▪️Operational Flexibility: Prepare for potential disruptions due to mobilization and financial controls. ▪️Local Engagement: Work closely with local legal and business advisors to navigate operational challenges effectively. Understanding these aspects is crucial for maintaining resilient and compliant operations in Ukraine during these challenging times. Special thanks to Business Sweden for their invaluable support and data.

In my personal opinion - Ukraine was FORCED to cross russian border and take over some of the official russian territory. Who forced it? The USA, and potential presidency of Donald Trump - who openly speaks about "Minsk 3" style "freeze", that would allow russia to re-arm in 3 or 5 or maybe 8 years, and then finish up Ukraine. Just like it happened before with Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 - which both led to the current full-scale invasion. Though Biden/Sullivan administration is also to blame here - for Minsk 1/2 specifically back in 2014, when Biden was a VP, but also for current containment of war within Ukrainian territory - which is a recipe for defeat for Ukraine. In order to avoid Minsk 3 kind of freeze, where war is temporarily stopped at current front, and then conquered territories are basically awarded to the conqueror (as it de-facto happened with Crimea in 2014, and big parts of Donbass in 2015) - Ukraine must hold some of russia's territories. Russia will never be able to accept Minsk 3 in case it awards some of russian territories to Ukraine, thus the best way to make sure Minsk 3 doesn't happen - is capture of some russian territories. This capture, however, is very costly in terms of manpower and military equipment - which is busy now guarding part of Kursk region, while it is BADLY needed on Pokrovsk direction where russia is advancing every day, destroying town by town, and getting close to bigger towns like Pokrovsk itself (population 61 000 at year 2020), Tchasiv Yar (12 700) and eventually Kramatorsk (185 000) and Slovyansk (109 000).

[In recent weeks, there have been numerous articles and news reports about problems with #Ukrainian defence positions, difficulties with mobilization, russian army superiority in everything, even using the words like “possible frontline collapse” etc. As I mentioned numerous times as well, the situation is difficult but very dynamic and many articles and reports don’t take this into account, instead basing their conclusions on older, stale or incorrect data. Below is the most recent example, which shows that “the devil is not as scary as they want us to believe”.] Day 792: 24 April Today, there is a lot of news from the Lyman direction. Here, russian forces refused to accept the defeat in the Battle for Terny, and suddenly opened a new vector of attack to prevent the collapse of their bridgehead, and retake the initiative back in their hands. The reason for the failure of the russian mechanized assault along the third axis of advance is threefold. Firstly, the 𝗨𝗸𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗩𝗣 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁. Notably, the map of successful drone attacks in the area by both sides reveals an overwhelming advantage of Ukrainian drone capabilities that has dramatically compromised russian attempts in recent weeks, particularly in helping to prepare an overwhelming response well in advance. Secondly, according to various Ukrainian sources, the 𝗨𝗸𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀. Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi recently announced that rotations had begun in various directions on a widespread level since troops had not been rotated in many places for more than a year. Due to the rotation, russian troops here had to face much fresher Ukrainian troops. And thirdly, it appears that 𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀. The size of this mechanized assault was much smaller than those observed over the last few weeks, which is a clear indicator of exhaustion of the forces.
