ОСОБЛИВОСТІ РОЗВИТКУ ГРОМАДЯНСЬКОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА В УКРАЇНІ ПІСЛЯ ПОЧАТКУ ПОВНОМАСШТАБНОГО РОСІЙСЬКОГО ВТОРГНЕННЯ

Abstract

The beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion became a key point for Ukraine's civil society, defining new and extraordinary challenges that require adaptation and response. This period in the country's history has been marked by a number of peculiarities in the development of civil society that determine its current state and future prospects. Ukrainian civil society has changed significantly as a result of the war, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Not only has Ukrainian society undergone significant changes, but it has also revealed new features that are shaping its development. These transformations reflect the dedication and strength of Ukrainians in times of trial. Ukrainians are more actively engaged than ever before in humanitarian aid, arts and culture, and above all in opposing Russia's war of aggression. This not only demonstrates a willingness to contribute to humanitarian issues, but also that civil society is acting as a major pillar of Ukrainian resistance, demonstrating determination and resolve to preserve independence and sovereignty. Furthermore, social innovation and transformation are taking place in civil society activities, strengthening society, even despite significant losses among activists, for the future path of European integration, further democratization and victory in the war. This demonstrates a deep understanding of the needs and challenges facing modern society. All these aspects together constitute a new reality of civil society in Ukraine after the full-scale Russian invasion, which gives it a powerful impetus for active and sustainable development in the face of current challenges and "turbulence." Its determinism, activity, and faith in its future path demonstrate the extraordinary strength and commitment of the Ukrainian people in the face of challenges and uncertainty.
