The main topics covered at the project site - the situation in the Eastern Ukraine,[4] annexation of Crimea,[5][6] the state of implementation of reforms in Ukraine,[7][8] Ukrainian politics and economics,[9] Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War,[10] international policy,[11] resonant events in Ukraine and abroad.[12][13][14][15]

In October 2015 the project started cooperation with the international volunteer group Inform Napalm. The product of this collaboration was the infographics containing personal data of crews of Russian aviation, which bombards the Syrian city.[16][17]
