Partnership with International Organizations

We are pleased to announce the establishment of partnerships with several international organizations working in the field of human rights protection and war crimes investigation.

These partnerships will allow us to:

• Share expertise and best practices in OSINT investigations
• Coordinate efforts in documenting war crimes
• Provide mutual support in legal proceedings
• Develop joint projects aimed at protecting human rights

We believe that such international cooperation is crucial for effectively investigating war crimes and bringing perpetrators to justice. Together, we can make a greater impact in protecting human rights and ensuring justice for victims of war crimes.

A team of experts from the international OSINT community launches the SHUM project.

SHUM is a public organization whose goal is to apply OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) technologies to investigate crimes in the armed conflict initiated by russia against Ukraine, as well as to provide consultations to law enforcement and judicial authorities, combat disinformation, and participate in projects aimed at protecting human rights.

The SHUM team is guided by two principles: transparency and efficiency. Therefore, we have implemented monthly financial reporting, which is subject to external audit by the supervisory board of the international public organization OSINT For Ukraine and key sponsors. Thanks to the open funding model, our organization has the opportunity to impartially investigate probable international crimes committed during the armed conflict.

Our First Investigation

Today we are publishing the results of our first investigation into war crimes committed by russian forces in the Kyiv region. Using OSINT methods, we were able to identify and document numerous violations of international humanitarian law.

The investigation revealed systematic shelling of civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, and residential buildings. We have collected photographic evidence, satellite imagery, and witness testimonies that clearly demonstrate the deliberate targeting of civilian objects.
