'Our student government is working also to help our military forces, so there are some necessary things for them.'
The students say they are coordinating food donations for soldiers, and organizing themselves online to combat waves of misinformation being circulating by Russia.
Their city of under Lviv is not attack, but its residents remain on high alert, and are prepared for whatever may be coming next.

'I also have a backpack out there with everything that I need packed so I can zip it up and just go if I need to leave here.'
It remains unclear what lies ahead for Ukrainians, but they say they are determined to pitch in however they can to support their country.
