We’ve refreshed our Donation Hub to make supporting SHUM OSINT simpler and faster. The page is now a single place where you can choose the method that fits you best and complete a donation in a couple of clicks.

What’s new:

• Monobank jar / card payment — quick top-ups with an option to pay by card.
• Crypto donations — via Plisio, helping us fund the tools and infrastructure that keep our work running.
• A clearer “Join the team” call-to-action if you want to contribute with skills, not only money.

If SHUM’s work matters to you — drop by the Donation Hub, pick your preferred method, and support our operations. Every contribution helps us stay effective and resilient.

Next Wednesday, September 17, at 7:00 PM, MIPL, along with partners from Memorial and The Ukrainian Media, will present a book about the explosion in the Olenivka colony. The event will take place at the Sense bookstore on Khreshchatyk.

We invite you to join us; all the details can be found on the event page. We will also be extremely grateful if you support us by sharing

Discussions on AI-driven OSINT workflows

Knowledge sharing and practical case studies

Networking with like-minded professionals

Opportunities to co-create research and tools

The invite link is active for 7 days only. After that, you can request a new one from the project curators. https://discord.gg/n4EYAg23

In the digital age, the traditional boundaries between peace and war are fading. Today, battles are fought not only on physical battlefields but also in the virtual space, where disinformation has become a powerful weapon of mass destruction. Every day, millions of people encounter manipulation, fake news, and propaganda campaigns — often without even realizing it.

In today’s world, disinformation has become one of the most dangerous tools for undermining democratic values and social stability. Fake news, manipulative content, and coordinated influence campaigns threaten the foundations of an informed society, erode trust in institutions, and create polarization in public opinion.

The Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, with the support of the European Union Advisory Mission in Ukraine, has presented a fundamental handbook on countering disinformation. This document summarizes the best international practices in combating information threats and adapts them to the Ukrainian context.
