Summary/Abstract: Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) has proven to be a crucial component in modern warfare, especially in the context of the conflict in Ukraine. This paper aims, through documentation, to evaluate and analyse the applications, impact, and strategic significance of GEOINT in creating and developing an accurate image of the area of operations for supporting military actions in Ukraine. The Russo-Ukrainian conflict serves as a case study to determine how GEOINT contributes to data fusion and the necessary information for the targeting process, as well as the monitoring, assessment, and validation of military courses of action, particularly in the decision-making process. By analysing perspectives from various sources, this article underlines the importance of GEOINT in contemporary military strategy and its implications for future conflicts.
