The full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine made the Ukrainian state and society face challenges that any other European country had never met in the XXI century. In the fight against external aggressors, both state and civil society in Ukraine, which used to be opponents rather than partners, began to work together to defend the people and the condition successfully. The article studies some current problems and proposes ways of improving the work of civil society institutions in terms of wartime. This interaction between civil society and the authorities brings all functional needs and resources together to help the population during a full-scale war. The authorities are aware that the position and role of civil society are critical and weighty for defeating the common enemy.
Humanitarian NGOs work on social security and health security at local, regional and global levels. Natural and artificial disasters have increased worldwide in the past, and our future will not be immune. The role of civil society organizations (CSOs) is seen in mixed light, as local, regional and global CSOs exist and operate worldwide. The local group includes those active and valuable only in a single city or town; the regional group consists of those with a national or continental presence; and the global group includes those active locally, regionally and visibly on several continents. One such international organization is the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta. Understanding the NGOs activity management philosophy and the existence of humanitarian NGOs in the global security arena, and understanding the global activity management of the Order of Malta’s Organisation, The Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta, requires an analysis of international security, the structure of European security and the security issues in Hungary, and the interconnections between them.
