The Army, church and volunteers were the most trusted institutions in Ukraine before the war. The number of people who want to volunteer in Ukraine has been growing since 2014 when the war began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since February, 24, 2022, 43 500 volunteers applied through the Ukrainian Volunteer Service platform alone, and about 100 000 new users joined online. Volunteers have been critical in coordinating daily rescue missions to save not only thousands of human lives, but also a huge number of the country\u2019s non-human population – pets, farm animals, zoo animals and wildlife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The universal trust to the volunteers, their 8-year long practice in field conditions, superhuman resilience and well-established horizontal connections are one of the major resources that the Army of Ukraine relies on today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny said that the Ukrainian army was strong because there were thousands of volunteers next to him and behind him – people who have become the blood system of the army. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ukraine in Flames #49, we will tell several stories on how Ukrainian civil volunteers facilitate the Ukrainian victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
