2014 and present day volunteers of the Ukrainian Volunteer Corp, Alina Mykhailova and “Davinci” Kotsubailo, with their dog in a former school transformed into a military operations center in the frontline town of Avdiivka. The Ukrainian Volunteer Corp and the Ukrainian Volunteer Army were one volunteer force in 2014 under the Right Sector, until they split in 2015 into the Ukrainian Volunteer Corp and the Ukrainian Volunteer Army. The UVC and UVA are two of the only major organized volunteer units that have refused to be integrated under the Ministry of Defense, therefore their volunteers cannot receive state benefits as war participants, and when they die on the frontline, their deaths are not counted in the figures.
