It would, nevertheless, be a gross misreading of realities on the ground in Donbas to claim that the work of volunteers in the so called ATO is in any way “finished” or that they can rest their direct support-efforts.









Jonas Ohman, an ethnic Swede living in Lithuania, is leader for the Lithuanian NGO Blue/Yellow. The organisation has supported the Ukrainian Armed Forces since summer 2014. So far, Blue/Yellow has provided support, of both military and humanitarian character, to Ukraine for about 500 000 €
Together with his friends, Jonas understands the threat against Ukraine from Russia as a direct menace to Lithuania and the Baltic States. Most of the members in Blue/Yellow have no military background. Instead, they use their civilian skills and knowledge for the activities. The organisation has a wide network of partners in the Baltics as well as in Ukraine.
