Security and trauma challenges in Ukraine have been constantly evolving since the 2014 Russian military incursion of Crimea and War in Donbass. One long-term consequence of the conflict in East Ukraine is the toll of substance and alcohol use and addictions that may have been triggered by the conflict among the veterans, internally displaced peoples, and civilian survivors. Further funding and research on substance and alcohol addiction with these vulnerable populations affected by the ongoing Ukrainian conflict should be examined. Are people from fragile states and conflict zones more susceptible to co-morbidity with substance abuse and addiction?
自2014年俄罗斯军事入侵克里米亚以及顿巴斯战争以来，乌克兰的安全和创伤挑战一直在不断演变。乌克兰东部冲突的一个长期后果是，退伍军人、境内流离失所者和平民幸存者之间的冲突可能引发了药物和酒精使用及成瘾问题。应该对受乌克兰持续冲突影响的这些弱势群体的药物和酒精成瘾问题进行进一步的资助和研究。来自脆弱国家和冲突地区的人们是否更容易出现药物滥用和成瘾的合并症？
