Ukraine War Map/Heatmap

This project takes submissions about Ukraine from subreddits like r/CombatFootage, r/UkraineWarVideoReport, r/ukraine, r/worldnews, r/UkraineInvasionVideos and r/UkrainevRussia and translates them into a heatmap where most of the stuff related to the war in Ukraine is happening. You can see that heatmap here. It updates every 30 minutes.
