Summary: | Developing under conditions of crisis – social, economic, ecological, and political instability, the exacerbation of military conflict, and ultimately, under the conditions of a full-scale invasion by Russia – volunteer activity, driven by a wave of patriotic fervour, the affirmation of the identity of the Ukrainian nation, and the need for self-identification of every Ukrainian, has become a significant factor in restraining the advancement of the enemy and supporting the military, serving as an instrument of struggle here in the rear. However, unfortunately, this resource is not inexhaustible; fatigue, fear, stress, increased responsibility, and uncertainty lead to burnout and the reduction of the social, economic, protective, and supporting functions of volunteering. |
