The map and other military analysis collected or made by Deep State UA has been cited by Ukrainian and international media outlets such as the BBC and Ukrainska Pravda.The team which maintains the map today, Deep State UA, was created as a non-governmental[1] organization in February 2020[1] by Roman Pohorily and Ruslan Mykula.[4] The Deep State UA Telegram channel saw another large uptick popularity[4] for their coverage and analysis during the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[1] The organization and its community at this time helped to refute large claims made early in the war by both sides; including the false sinking of the Russian frigate Admiral Makarov,[5] and the destruction of all of Ukraine's Bayraktar TB2s.[1] By the end of March however,[1] Google blocked Deep State UA's use of their map for "violations of their rules of service", effectively shutting the website down.[2] Today, the Deep State UA team is headed by the founders Pohorilyi and Mykula, and is made up of approximately 100 volunteers who work on their own time from home and communicate through Telegram, as the organization has no offices.[7][9] Interactive features of the map include the ability to toggle icons representing the location of known Russian and "illegal formations of the self-proclaimed Belarusian" units, and naval fleets[a] alongside distinguishing arrows displaying their direction of attack.[12][P 11] While the release was intended to be done alongside an app for iOS, the organization faced difficulties with Apple, as they claimed the map had characteristics which could be offensive against Russians.[2] For information gathered solely by people who claim to be in the area, the map often waits until several similar reports are made if no visual evidence[2] or confirmation by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is available.Being an Open Source Intelligence website which updates with a slight delay in information,[3][7] Deep State UA has cautioned not to use the map when planning evacuation routes, combat areas, or undertaking other sensitive and highly specific activities.
