On June 26, 2025, at the meeting of the Bureau of the Department of Informatics of the NAS of Ukraine, the applied research project of the Space Research Institute of the NAS of Ukraine and the SSA of Ukraine "Information technologies for monitoring changes in Ukraine's forest cover due to military actions based on geospatial data" was approved.

The project aims to develop information technologies for comprehensive monitoring and assessment of changes in Ukraine's forest cover due to military actions based on integration of multimodal geospatial data and machine learning algorithms. In wartime conditions, traditional forest monitoring methods become inaccessible due to security restrictions, making space-based Earth observation systems the only available tool for objective assessment of forest cover condition.

The research includes development of machine learning algorithms for detecting forest cover damage, creation of tree cover density maps with 10-meter spatial resolution, analysis of change dynamics since the beginning of the war, and development of a web dashboard for results visualization. The project results will enable quantitative assessment of war damages and provide an information foundation for planning the restoration of Ukraine's forest resources. The project is scheduled for 2026-2028.

On July 1, a bilateral memorandum of cooperation was signed between the Institute and the consulting company “DATE DRIVEN ADASTRA GROUP”. Prospective joint activities are aimed at supporting initiatives in the field of space and security policy, in particular by exchanging analytics, expertise, promoting the development of strategic documents, regulatory frameworks and institutional mechanisms. Cooperation also covers the promotion of technological development in the defence and space sectors, arranging of partnerships and the development of civic control in these areas. Today, we have an example of an international project prepared for consideration by partners.

On June 27, a bilateral memorandum was signed between the Institute and the United Nations regarding support for the activities of the regional center of the UN-SPIDER program in Ukraine. The purpose of this Memorandum is to establish a framework for cooperation to achieve the goals and implement the objectives for the application of space technology in disaster management. This activity was started in past years, and currently it is planned to strengthen cooperation with the international community based on the updated memorandum. The person responsible from the Institute is determined Prof. A. Shelestov
