Abstract

The article focuses on the critical role of civilian volunteers in supporting Ukrainian forces during the ongoing conflict with Russia. It highlights how these volunteers, often from diverse backgrounds, provide essential supplies and equipment that military aid from governments cannot deliver quickly enough. Lawmaker Maryan Zablotsky notes that approximately 60% of early material support came from volunteers, who supply items like drones, vehicles, and medical supplies. Organizations such as Free Spirit facilitate this aid by directly communicating with frontline units to meet urgent needs, demonstrating the significant impact of civil society in Ukraine's defense efforts.
