In Ukraine, the ghillie suits worn by soldiers are commonly known as "kikimora'"(Кікімора), after the folklore monster.

Since the beginning of the Donbass conflict in 2014, volunteer activities have been widespread, with people making kikimoras and sending them to soldiers. The people who make them are mainly women.

The placard that appears in the video reads, "The war continues, donate" (ВІЙНА ТРИВАЄ,  ДОНАТЬ).
