Vehicles brought to Ukraine are passed straight to the fighting troops. However, it happens that any cars - contrary to their declarations - are sold and put into private hands. In the first period of the war, the process of importing cars took place in conditions of considerable administrative chaos. **There were no clear procedures and regulations for importing vehicles for the military**. Volunteers acted under time pressure, trying to deliver the essential equipment to soldiers on the front as shortly as possible. Many formalities have been simplified or even omitted, which is now a origin of problems.
