Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there has been a shortage of medicines in the country. Queues have appeared in pharmacies, online ordering of medicines has become almost inaccessible. The population is buying medicines in reserve, fearing that the necessary medicines will not be available. The demand for medicines has also increased from hospitals and volunteers, who buy medicines in large quantities for TPO and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Some groups of medicines are already sorely lacking. Especially the demand for the consumption of medicines has shifted to the west of Ukraine, where a large number of people from the east and center of the country have been evacuated since the beginning of the war.​
