NZZ says this about themselves:
For our map we use data from Liveuamap. This organization emerged in 2014 in Ukraine during the annexation of Crimea. Since then, the staff has dealt with various conflicts both in and outside Europe. The NZZ has also relied on its data for other conflicts.
NZZ also only periodically updates data and works in time frames, not daily changes. See "Limitations".
