| Summary: | During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which started in early 2022, many religious communities in Ukraine turned into social centers, where those affected by the war, mostly internal migrants, could find shelter, food, clothes, medical and psychological aid, help with evacuation and social rehabilitation. The invasion of 2022 aimed at seizing all of Ukraine. The subsequent wave of migrants was defined by the UN as the biggest refugee crisis in the world since WWII. Millions of Ukrainians left their homes and moved either abroad or into Ukraine's western and central regions. It led hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians into multiple contacts with agents of fledgling civil society of Ukraine charities, NGOs, and religious communities. The resilience theory proposes insights into how individuals gain skills to overcome crises, natural disasters, acts of violence, or epidemics. Social resilience is the ability to endure tough times, accepting help from immediate or extended family, community, friends, and organizations. |
