OSNT.IN is coming out of beta on Monday with version 1.0. It’s a daily English-language briefing on Russia’s war against Ukraine. Every morning, it compiles reports from Ukrainian, Russian, and Western open sources and shows who said what, who reported it, and where the sides’ versions diverge. Each item is linked to the source, so you can check anything yourself.
OSNT.IN is coming out of beta on Monday with version 1.0. It’s a daily English-language briefing on Russia’s war against Ukraine. Every morning, it compiles reports from Ukrainian, Russian, and Western open sources and shows who said what, who reported it, and where the sides’ versions diverge. Each item is linked to the source, so you can check anything yourself.
The briefing is published daily at 05:00 UTC (07:00 Kyiv time). It is based on over 200 sources: Telegram channels and news sites in Ukrainian, Russian and English, from official statements to military bloggers from both sides. The list is gradually expanding. A weekly report is published every Sunday.
A separate section shows how four sides reported on the same day: Ukrainian official sources, Russian official sources, international media, and independent Russian media, such as Meduza or Mediazona. The brief never mentions independent Russian media on the Russian side.
Each statement shows who made it and which media outlet reported it. If a politician's words were quoted by a publication, the brief names both. For Telegram, each version of the post is saved: if the channel later edited or deleted the post, the brief still shows what was there and marks the change. All briefs since March 27, 2026 are in the archive, each by its date.
Each side of this war tells its own story, and every morning I got lost between them. But the question was not only who said what. I wanted to see the history of the thesis itself: where it came from, who and how told it, how it changed along the way. OSNT.IN 1.0 is the first step: next to each point you can see who said it and where it came from. Next, we are expanding the source database and working with the data that we have already collected.
Every morning, a fresh brief is checked. If words are not attributed to the person who said them, it is corrected that same morning. And if the mistake changes the fact itself, the edit is first checked by a person and only then made. The brief no longer carries over last week's summary into today's text and no longer repeats the same night twice.
The model continues to write the brief, and sometimes she gets the date or side wrong. The morning check catches most of these errors, and they are corrected in the brief the same day.
Version 1.0 is not yet final. The list of sources is expanding, and new features will appear as the collected archive grows.
For journalists, researchers, analysts, and anyone who closely follows the war but doesn't have time to read sources in three languages every morning.
Without signing up, you can read a quick summary of the day, key events, and a section on “How Each Side Presented the Day.” Pro costs $29 per month, with the first 7 days free. Pro includes a full briefing, narrative tracking, and day comparisons.
OSNT.IN was created and is run by Mykhailo Gafin, a Ukrainian designer and product engineer, founder of the studio Brandson Digital. The brief writes a model according to the rules that Mykhailo has drawn up. He is responsible for these rules and for every word in the brief. The project exists on its own funds: without investors, without advertising, and without sponsored content.
OSNT.IN is available at osnt.in and app.osnt.in
