I understand people want to help and get the word out about how terrible this invasion is. If you want to help, get involved with charities. If you want to post, filter what you're posting. We've heard it from many people who went through the Syrian conflict. The opposing force can use locations that you post to their advantage. Every single thing we are witnessing right now should be training every other person in the world for this. Social media is very dangerous for war. Do not show the enemy where the Ukrainian military and civilians are.

This one time at band camp I felt bad for posting locations.

The government of Canada is matching all donations 100% to the Canadian Red Cross fund for Ukraine. www.redcross.ca. I gave $125.

If you post an original photo, take a screenshot of it and trim it down. Then use the snipped photo instead. No metadata.

Одеса! HAHAHA!
MyBigMouth
No, I want to let the Russian Army know that there are Ukrainians here to bomb ?...
HunterZer0
I mean, how do you even do that?
NahhFamalam
The bamboozle is that Russia could benefit from spreading this concept to make it look like Ukraine isn't putting up a fight.
Alfadorfox
Or post lots of fake locations so the Russians can't tell the real leaks from the noise.
igniteice
Yeah I'm sure Russian military is scouring imgur looking for real vs fake locations in Ukraine.
Nikolai5
This is Imgur. Everything's just going to be a repost from 3 years ago anyway.
DingleberrySunrise
If you genuinely think anything posted to imgur is going to aide the Russian military you're a fucking idiot
igniteice
OP just wants internet points and to feel like he's making a difference.
publicanrusty
How could information posted in the past be tactically viable information? There are a dozen news agencies posting live updates.
rubypilgrim
Also - there are now several links seeking donations for Ukrainians. Please double check where you're sending your $ - can be fake. Check-
rubypilgrim
Charity Navigator as your first stop.

post these guys location https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion

Personally I'd prefer if they stopped posting about it period. I understand its a bad thing thats happening but this isnt why I use Imgur.
HaikuSorrow
I think you can filter out #russia #ukraine #currentevents in your account settings
HaikuSorrow
I don't because I find Imgur much faster than our news outlets.
AK90
Thank you that made it so much better!

Meh. This us like the "don't post your key message". In theory yes. In practice no. Russia on day 1 took our Ukraines key military
Flustercuck
The Ukrainian government wouldn't have asked if they didn't think it mattered. Do you know better than they do?
sambaah05
Installations. They have satellites and line of sight to everything Ukraine is doing. The same way the US had satellite and Intel on what
sambaah05
Russia is doing. Quite certain the FSB isnt watching Imgur or Twitter for key Intel. We already know old videos have been posted as new here

Dear Russia: you'll find large numbers of Ukrainian troops hiding out in Mar-A-Lago. And they have no anti-missiles! You're welcome.

We already have an agent there. -Russia

I've heard that Zelenskyy is hiding here:
BewareTheIceSpiders
This isnt Syria mate. Russia has thousands of satellites and air superiority. They know everything going on in Ukraine at a precision of /
Flustercuck
The Ukrainian government requested it. Anyone who thinks they know more than them can go ahead and argue.
BewareTheIceSpiders
So claims random images on social media, but 95% of what you see here about Ukraine is fabrication or old footage from other conflicts.
BewareTheIceSpiders
at least 50cm / pixel.
armagetz
They have fewer than 200 satellites, and only a fraction of them will ever pass over Ukraine. Nice try to deflect any accountability
BewareTheIceSpiders
At Ukraine's latitude, any earth observation satellite will pass over it several times a day.
armagetz
Firstly, no, there is no guarantee you will cover all ground multiple times in a day. There are huge reduced visibility and (1)

(2)outright blind spots between orbits. And it will only come closeish maybe 2-3 times in a 72 hour period. But you know what? Let’s assume
BewareTheIceSpiders
"blind spots between orbit" now has someone who got paid to write satellite imagery software that is nonsense.
armagetz
(3)I’m wrong. Each one of those satélites pass over 5 times over Ukraine daily. That’s still about 17 hours of monitoring. Still short
armagetz
There are potential large gaps of blind spots. They do not see everything that is happening at all times.
BewareTheIceSpiders
Not at all time, but everywhere yes. They should be able to get a refresh of any area several times per hour making trying to filter social/

armagetz
No one is saying don’t post anything. Just Ukrainian troop movements.
imsam77
So post pictures of the russians?
mittag
Russian troop images and video yes, turn the gps settings on.
ButcherofBakersfield
yes. post pics of russian soldiers and their positions so they can be removed from Ukraine.
FuckingTurtleBear
Or help grow the sun flowers.

PrettySureNoActuallyImDefinitelySure
No. Not all Russians support Putin or this pointless invasion. Many Russians are protesting this.
imsam77
Picture of russian troops in Ukraine * ?
Baltzdelirium
Correct
PrettySureNoActuallyImDefinitelySure
Use good judgement? Just don't show places where civilians may be hiding. And be able to distinguish between Ukraine and Russian troops.
FishSausages
If they run over civilian vehicles in tanks, they're probably Russian
jreyjrey
I thought that was a Ukrainian vehicle? Are you sure it was Russian?
Idsertian
Usually, they're the ones with the Russian patches. Usually.
rubypilgrim
I've heard - so take this with a gigantic grain of salt - that Russian troops have stolen Ukrainian military vehicles for their own actions-
mustardburp
They mostly come out at night. Mostly.
