New Ukrainian Reality

In the past two weeks, we have seen a terrible humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ukraine. We have seen crimes against humanity and the targeting of civilians. Tragically, the picture below is part of a bomb that was dropped on Olga Guzvah’s home in Ukraine

Olga and I met in 2015 during the National Conference of the French Political Science Association in Aux en Provence, France, where we both presented papers for the IPSA Political Finance and Political Corruption Panel.  Now, she is focused on surviving and helping others remain safe during the Russian invasion.  The NGO, the Consortium of the Veteran Organization of the East, which she has co-founded, has shifted its focus from providing services to veterans to providing humanitarian support to those affected by the senseless attacks on civilians that we are witnessing unfold in Ukraine. 

Role of Ukrainian Nonprofits During the Invasion

I spoke with Olga this past weekend to learn what her new reality was like, the role nonprofits are playing, and what we can all do to help.
