A 'traffic jam' appeared on Maps just before the invasion.
When Dr. Jeffrey Lewis, a professor at California’s Middlebury Institute of International Studies, noticed particularly bad traffic at 3:15AM near the Ukrainian border, he knew it wasn’t your typical rush-hour pileup. Lewis and his students discovered the “jam” on February 23rd — just before the start of the Russian invasion.
, Lewis surmises that the heavy traffic Google logged likely wasn’t from Russian soldiers carrying their phones, and was instead captured from the phones of civilians stuck at roadblocks. After Russian troops started making their way into Ukraine,notes that Google Maps showed road closures in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, along with suspended subway services throughout the city.
