SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE'S RECOVERY

We digitize, analyze and visualize Ukraine's infrastructure devastated by russian forces

About the project

On February 24, 2022, russia launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine, causing numerous destructions, losses, destroying life at every turn. Almost all regions of the country continue to suffer damage and destruction of the infrastructure of varying severity. These losses need to be recorded and digitized to attract funding and start the reconstruction process.
The RebuildUA project aims to analyze and visualize the destroyed infrastructure of Ukraine, disseminate this information and share the results with communities, public authorities and specialized foundations, as well as collect the evidence base of the crimes of the aggressor countries.

What we do

Main stages of the project

Illustration

Digitization of data from UAVs and satellites

We create high-precision orthophotos in the territories occupied and controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then recognize and digitize destroyed and damaged infrastructure elements.

Illustration

Photo and video recording

We use only trusted channels on social networks and official sources. The project team and volunteers work directly in the destruction areas to collect photo and video evidence.

Illustration

Analysis of geospatial data

We develop an interactive geoportal to place the collected data and link it to the map. We will add various layers to display the destruction by severity, type of buildings and their purpose.

Illustration

Public reports

Based on the collected data, we develop infographics and analytical reports containing information on the number, nature, classification of damage and other details for further damage assessment.

Analytical reports

The results of our work

  • Illustration

    Borodyanka

    September 15, 2022
    1,534 damaged buildings

    At the beginning of the russian invasion, russian planes fired rockets at residential buildings at low altitudes in Borodyanka. As a result, the central street of the village turned into ruins — destroyed apartment buildings, fallen trees, and burnt cars.

    Makariv

    September 29, 2022
    2 305 damaged buildings 

    Makariv in Kyiv region suffered from constant rocket and artillery shelling from the beginning of the war until April. War criminals chaotically shoot at houses, destroying a local hospital, fire station, police station, schools, kindergartens, and almost the entire infrastructure of the community.

    Andriivka

    October 4, 2022
    592 damaged buildings 

    "Little Mariupol", the most destroyed village of Kyiv region, the village that was under occupation for the longest time — all this tells a story of Andriivka near Bucha. The village is located on the road leading to Kyiv from the belarussian border. Most of the buildings here have been bombed, and the settlement was practically wiped off the face of the earth.

    Trostyanets

    November 8, 2022
    829 damaged buildings 

    Trostyanets is a town near Sumy that suffered occupation by russian invaders from February 24 to March 26. Most of the buildings in Trostyanets were destroyed by shelling or burned, and the central part of the city — near the hospital and the forestry — was seriously damaged. The areas located near key transport infrastructure facilities were ruined.

    Yasnogorodka

    November 15, 2022
    185 damaged buildings 

    The village of Yasnohorodka in the Kyiv region is known for its eco-park and one of the largest ostrich farms (before the war). The first shelling of Yasnohorodka began on February 27, and the intensity of it only increased day after day. Heavy shelling by "Hrads" led to the destruction of private houses, churches, and industrial buildings. Animals either became live targets for the invaders or suffered from hunger hiding in the forests.

    Okhtyrka

    November 17, 2022
    648 damaged buildings 

    Okhtyrka is situated in 30 kilometers from russian border, so on February 24 it was among the first Ukrainian settlements to face the invaders. Both military forces and courageous residents could not stop the russian aggression: the town was shelled by "Hrades" and aviabombs.
