The Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT) is an independent investigative organization from Russia that specializes in open-source intelligence and human intelligence. It is known for its investigations into the activities of Russian Armed Forces in conflicts such as those in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, and the Central African Republic. Founded in 2014 by Ruslan Leviev, CIT has collaborated with major media outlets and faced significant threats due to its work. The group relocated to Georgia in 2022 to continue its operations after facing legal and physical threats in Russia.[1][2]
