On March 14, Ukraine honors volunteers - people who were not military by profession, but at a critical moment for the state, without summons or coercion, voluntarily "paused" their previous lives and took up arms to defend the country.

On the occasion of Ukrainian Volunteer Day, the Seversko-Donetsk Regional State Administration launched an online exhibition "Volunteers: a force born from love for the Motherland," which tells about our compatriots from various communities of the Seversko-Donetsk district.

The personal story of each of them is an example of courage, dedication, and love for Ukraine.
