The Russian-Ukrainian war has attracted a vast number of voluntary personnel from across the world. There are many media reports and policy briefs on these volunteers, but almost no academic research. This project examines Nordic volunteers who are, or have been, in Ukraine to help the Ukrainian forces. Interviews will be conducted with individuals from Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, and follow-up interviews will be made with some of them to shed light on the personal challenges they go through. Moreover, online data will be collected. The focus of the internship is on medical personnel from the Nordics.
