While the battle against Russia carries on and the men of Ukraine are ordered to fight, the women of Ukraine are stepping up too - despite harsh conditions of a cold winter.
As night falls and Russian forces continue to press through major Ukrainian centers, civilians are arming themselves to protect their cities.
Some of the work included setting up pick-up and drop-off locations on both sides of the border to move in donated medical supplies, food, water and more."We do work with lots of big companies, and our friends and suppliers, and we coordinate the list of needed products," said Malinowska, translating for Kula.Volunteers are sorting through supplies and packing boxes.
"It's really, really lots of voluntary work happening over there," said Malinowska."It's winter here, so it's not easy. It's really, really brave work.""It's not like someone asked us to do this or like it's willing for us to do this, it's just the moment - someone comes to our country and takes away the place we live," said Malinowska, noting the women of Ukraine will continue to fight for their country.
"Men are fighting, they are on the first front, but they need someone on their back front and this is the ladies' role - this is where we come from."
