As the Discover team used to engage in digitalising tourism, culture and sports, we benefited from this experience to create this volunteer project aimed at capturing and documenting war damage.<\/p>\n We made it public that we offer those materials to international media outlets, and those have already been used by Blick (Germany), Libertatea and Stiripesurse.directorylib (Romania), while Infotainment Show took the video 3D footage made for the project. All this helps us fight on the information frontline by showing the truth about Russia\u2019s invasion to the global community.<\/p>\nDocumenting the extent of devastation<\/strong><\/h2>\n
