From March 1 to March 2, heavy cloud cover has blanketed Ukraine and prevented Maxar from providing new satellite imagery-based imaging opportunities of the current war. The company continues to monitor the area closely and new updates will be provided as seen as there is clear imagery to share. March 3rd appears to be the next, best date for imagery capture.
In the meantime, Maxar analyzed more of their recent satellite imagery that three of Maxar’s high-resolution satellites collected on February 28th (encompassing more than 8,000 square kilometers) and focused in on a number of Ukrainian cities and villages.
The invasion’s impact on Ukrainians was clearly evident with visual examples of damaged and destroyed homes, residential areas, buildings and factories. Long lines of people were seen waiting for food outside of supermarkets in Chernihiv and Kyiv; moreover, we witnessed people trying to leave Ukraine at multiple border crossing points and into neighboring countries including Hungary, Slovakia and Romania.

Most of the following images were collected on February 28th.
