Kyiv, October 9, 2014.<\/strong> <\/em>There are almost one hundred volunteer organizations in Ukraine. They together with many new organizations that were founded recently directly support those on the front lines in the Donbas, stated the representatives of several volunteer organizations during their press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n

Volunteer organizations are coordinating their efforts with international supporters and Ukraine\u2019s Ministry of Defense (MoD) in order to ensure that Ukrainians risking their lives are given the support that they need over the coming winter. \u201cWe will continue to help out until the current truce becomes real,\u201d said Olha Bosak, the co-founder of the Ukrainian Freedom Fund. Bosak\u2019s organization provides Ukrainian servicemen with equipment and clothes, including laptops, warm jackets, and body armor. Another organization, Wings of Phoenix, helps pay for the repair of aviation and other military equipment. \u201cEight of our APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers) are already going to the front,\u201d stated Oleksandra Tarasova, a coordinator for the organization. Other organizations present at the press conference have provided equipment for Ukrainian soldiers currently fighting at the Donetsk airport, or have assisted Ukrainian efforts since the beginning of the crisis.<\/p>\n

The organizations\u2019 representatives stressed that the role of civil society organizations are central to ensuring that Ukraine\u2019s soldiers and volunteer battalions are sufficiently supported. \u201cMass movements in Ukraine have proved that they can work efficiently and urgently to solve problems,\u201d stated Olha Kobylynska, representative of the organization \u201cCome Back Alive.\u201d Ukrainian civil society organizations became stronger since the start of the conflict, as their role on the front lines in providing for soldiers is very important and supported by the Ukrainian people, in general.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s volunteer organizations have increased their level of support with the Ministry of Defense. The ministry has often relied on these organizations to provide Ukrainian troops with the necessary equipment. \u201cThey have delegated a lot of authority to volunteer organizations, including what should be bought for the military,\u201d Bosak stated. Despite increasing cooperation between the MoD and volunteer organizations, Kobylynska remained skeptical of the ministry\u2019s abilities. She expressed that the Ministry of Defense would need to move past its corrupt practices and cumbersome structure. Promises that Ukrainian servicemen on the front will be provided for over the winter shouldn\u2019t necessarily be believed.<\/p>\n
