About This Project
Providing transparent, data-driven analysis of the war in Ukraine.
Database Statistics
Coverage Period
Our database covers the period from 2022-02-24 to 2026-03-11, with 4 different event types classified.
Our Mission
Ukraine War Analytics aims to provide comprehensive, objective, and data-driven analysis of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. We aggregate and visualize data from multiple reputable open sources to help researchers, journalists, policymakers, and the general public understand the scope and impact of the war.
All data presented on this website is sourced from publicly available information and verified where possible. We strive for accuracy and transparency in our methodology.
Data Sources
ACLED
Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project
Provides real-time data on political violence and protest events worldwide. ACLED data is used for our event tracking and geographic analysis.
Visit ACLED →Oryx
Verified Equipment Losses Documentation
Documents military equipment losses with visual evidence (photos/videos). All equipment losses are individually verified before being added to the database.
Visit Oryx →UNHCR
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
Provides official statistics on Ukrainian refugees and internally displaced persons across different countries.

Our data processing methodology includes:
- Daily automated data collection from verified sources
- Cross-referencing events across multiple sources when possible
- Geographic normalization to consistent region/oblast names
- Event type categorization based on ACLED taxonomy
- Equipment verification through visual evidence
- Regular data quality audits
Limitations
It's important to understand the limitations of this data:
- Data represents documented events, not all actual events
- Casualty figures are estimates and may be incomplete
- Equipment losses only include visually verified cases
- Fog of war affects data accuracy and timeliness
- Some regions may have limited reporting coverage
How We Verify Data
Accuracy is central to our mission. Every data point passes through a multi-step verification process before it appears on this site.
Automated Ingestion
Data is fetched daily from primary APIs (ACLED, Oryx, UNHCR). Raw records are stored with source attribution and fetch timestamp.
Cross-Source Reconciliation
Events reported by multiple independent sources are flagged as higher-confidence. Conflicting data points are resolved in favour of the most granular primary source.
Visual Evidence Requirement (Equipment)
Equipment losses are only recorded when accompanied by photographic or video proof, following the Oryx methodology. Every vehicle entry links back to its evidence source.
Geographic Normalisation
Location names are normalised to a consistent oblast/city gazetteer derived from OpenStreetMap data. Transliterations follow the official Ukrainian-to-English standard (DSTU 9112:2021).
Human Review & QA
Statistical outliers (unusually high single-day fatalities, duplicate IDs, missing coordinates) are flagged for manual review before publishing.
