DATTALION – Ukraine's Data Battalion is a women's initiative uniting 120+ Ukrainians (mostly mothers and wives) and international volunteers that creates and distributes the largest independent public database of photo and video footage from the frontlines of Russia’s war against Ukraine
Journalists often cannot be in the most dangerous spots in Ukraine due to the imminent risk of death. We are Ukrainians, trying to survive russia’s worst attacks. We are sharing real photos and videos that reporters, photojournalists, and influencers cannot always access in person so that we can bear witness to the truth.
We are providing this data and video free for reporters around the globe who want to see what russia is really doing to us. There are many mothers among us and witnessing many battles up close, we are sick of seeing our children, families, and neighbors being murdered before our very eyes.
We want to counter the russian government’s misinformation about what we are living through in this war. russia’s good people, and concerned people all around the world, need to see what is really happening on the ground in Ukraine. You need to see the atrocities being committed by the russian military here.
By collecting smartphone video straight from the front lines, Dattalion shows the unfiltered horrors of the war.
