About the Project
The Unseen Force project stands as a living testament to the unyielding spirit of Ukrainian citizens. It is dedicated to promoting the understanding that Ukraine is defined not merely by its territory or a flag fluttering outside your window but by the resilience and humanity of its people.
Its stories are not stories of passivity, uncertainty and indifference: they are the stories of the resilience of a population that is under direct threat from the Russian occupier.
Ukraine is not just about territory: it’s about the people.
The whole world knows about the Ukrainian’s armed resistance. But not about their nonviolent resistance

But not the nonviolent one

Non-violent resistance: a method of conflict
Non-violent resistance is a method of conflict that confronts the enemy, but without weapons. It is not morally superior to violent methods, nor is it equivalent to pacifism. But its advantage is that anyone – young, old, male, female – can participate. This is important for a simple reason: the greater the number of people who participate, the greater the amount of disruption for the Russian occupiers.
When a Russian soldier walks around Melitopol and sees a trident painted somewhere, and then reads on Telegram that a car has been blown up somewhere, a picture comes together for him. He understands that both combat groups and civilians are working against him
