Important steps taken to improve this situation were destroyed first by the pandemic of COVID-19, and then by the war. The purpose of this study is to determine current problems of vulnerable socio-demographic groups in Ukraine that are caused by russian full-scale military invasion and to define the consequences and possible solutions. In the analysis we used the requests for help received by the Red Cross phone hot line, the feedback from volunteers and people who needed help, forums of volunteers and online publications. The work used comparisons, statistical methods and analysis of telephone interviews. It was found, that the most frequent and important was request for medicine. The large share of vulnerable populations was at risk of not receiving critical health care and medicine. Many elderly people suffered from regular bombings and absence of electricity, water and ood. It was a huge challenge to organize the evacuation of elderly people and particularly people with disabilities to relatively safe regions. The health and social support systems in Ukraine are facing exceptional challenges and pressure. The support of volunteers became extremely important. The further destiny of all people and predominantly vulnerable sociodemographic groups in Ukraine will largely depend on whether the whole world can unite to resist russian aggression.enmilitary invasionvulnerable socio-demographic groupselderly peoplepeople with disabilitiesvoluntaryRussiaUkraineinvazie militaragrupuri socio-demografice vulnerabilepersoane in varstapersoane cu dizabilitatiRusiaUcrainaArticle
