One of the laments of post-Sovietologists is the relative weakness of civil society in some former Soviet states. Specifically, ones that support western ideals of freedom of the press, free speech in general, and a transparent government responsive to the people. What is happening now is Ukraine is a greater flowering of such groups. It is an open question whether more groups exist now than before the Euromaidan revolution.

The purpose is to help the Ukrainian armed forces, yet it is so much more. There are also ways to help the many refugees that are going to result from this armed conflict. The displacement of people from their homeland is always a tragedy. So much more so when considering how unnecessary any violence was in the first place.
