People’s war: Ukraine, Russia crowd-funding gear for troops

In the war in Ukraine, troops on both sides are getting supplies from crowd-funders. On the Ukrainian side, the self-starting networks of donors and volunteers are particularly large, spontaneous and well-oiled. At a critical juncture of the invasion, their deliveries of drones, high-tech optical gear, vehicles and other equipment are keeping Ukraine in the fight against its better-supplied aggressor.
