Dattalion: Ukraine's Data Battalion
Dattalion: Ukraine's Data Battalion is a powerful online platform that provides access to the largest free, independent, and open-source database of Ukraine war footage. Established on February 27, 2022, Dattalion has been documenting the war since February 24, when the full-scale Russian military invasion began. The platform compiles not only footage from both Ukrainian and Russian-occupied territories but also a database of verified eyewitness accounts that document Russian aggression, war crimes, and acts of genocide in Ukraine.
Dattalion has amassed over 5,600 videos and 33,000 photos from across the conflict-ridden regions of Ukraine. Updated daily by a dedicated team of volunteers, the platform aims to keep the world informed about the ongoing war in the country. Dattalion's primary goal is to empower media outlets worldwide with free and easy access to video, photos, and eyewitness testimony from the frontlines, enabling them to share the truth about Russia's war in Ukraine.
The platform also serves as a repository for evidence of war crimes, environmental crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide committed by Russia in Ukraine. By providing explicit warnings and sharing unambiguous factual evidence, Dattalion aims to highlight the threat Russia poses to the democratic international system and emphasize the need for the world to stand with Ukraine.
Dattalion's unique database features over 180 verified eyewitnesses from locations such as Mariupol, Vinnytsia, and Kharkiv. These individuals have survived the atrocities and horrors of the Russian army's invasion and are willing to share their stories, adding a human face to the stories of war.
The platform has been featured in renowned media outlets such as Fox News, NBC, Today, Inside Edition, Vanity Fair, Time, Marie Claire, and Harper's Bazaar. Dattalion collaborates with the Office of the President of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, and other governmental bodies to deliver crucial data and information.
As a nonprofit initiative, Dattalion relies on donations and support from the public. You can help maintain and develop the database by joining them on Patreon or donating via PayPal. Every contribution is vital in spreading the truth about the Russian war against Ukraine.
