When Tymofii Postoiuk and his friends set up an online fundraising effort for Ukraine, donations poured in from around the globe, helping to purchase essential equipment for Ukrainian armed forces. As the fighting with Russia wore on and war fatigue set in, the donations slowed down but money continued to come in steadily. Then the Israel-Hamas war broke out on Oct. 7. With the start of another major conflict, social media networks including X, formerly known as Twitter, were flooded with news from the Middle East. "Our fundraising posts and updates simply get lost in between those tweets," Postoiuk said. The result has been a broad shift in the world s attention away from Ukraine to the fighting in Gaza — a trend that worries many Ukrainians. They fear that a combination of global fatigue, competing political agendas and limited resources will result in less aid for their military, hurting the country s ability to sustain its confrontation with Russia.
