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

A volunteer puts water to a van motor before heading to delivered goods to soldiers fighting on the eastern and southern fronts, dispatched from an NGO storage center in Kyiv, Ukraine, Monday, June 13, 2022. 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.
