Live Universal Awareness Map, commonly known as Liveuamap, is an internet service to monitor and indicate activities on online geographic maps, particularly of locations with ongoing armed conflicts. It was developed by the Ukrainian software engineers from Dnipro, Rodion Rozhkovskiy and Oleksandr Bilchenko.
==Creation and name== The two founders of Liveuamap, Rodion Rozhkovskiy and Oleksandr Bilchenko, initially experimented independently with algorithms to filter and correlate social media information related to distinct geographic locations of interest. Together, they started the website liveuamap.com on 18 February 2014 to monitor Russian activities in Ukraine. They were able to indicate in detail the operations that led to the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation using their web crawler. The "UA" letters in the "LiveUAmap" name were originally from the country code for Ukraine, before the "Universal Awareness" backronym was officially proposed by the creators.
