Fundraising for an armoured vehicle for evacuation in Donetsk region!
Evacuation units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine are actually working on the front line. They are involved 24/7 in extremely difficult and dangerous missions to rescue Ukrainian civilians, including children. This includes not only evacuating the population, but also delivering medicines, food, water, and patrolling the territory within their area of responsibility.
The guys have repeatedly come under fire. Armour saves lives. Let's take care of the safety of our rescuers so that they can save even more lives of Ukrainians.
We will purchase a Landrover Defender armoured vehicle that has been designed to be armoured and meets all the requirements of NATO's high safety standards. This vehicle is a lightly armoured, highly mobile four-wheel drive vehicle.
It will significantly expand the capabilities of rescuers and increase the level of safety of both crew and civilians.
Report
The Ukrainian FireFighters Foundation has handed over two armoured four-wheel drive vehicles to the rescuers of Donetsk Oblast!
In total, this is the fifth armoured vehicle donated by the Foundation.
The two armoured Land Rover Defender Snatch vehicles were purchased, equipped and delivered to Ukraine thanks to the financial support of American donors CAF America and the participation of the British company North Fire.
The vehicles were restored and upgraded at the North Fire UK production facility under a NON PROFIT CONTEXT principle. The Defenders received military-grade armor, armored run-flat tires, onboard LiFePO energy storage systems, and a 220 Volt power supply. The interior is organized to allow for the transport of recumbent individuals, including on stretchers when necessary.
The enemy deliberately targets rescuers and has repeatedly attacked both rescuers themselves and civilians during evacuations in armored vehicles previously provided by our foundation. It is precisely thanks to the professional and courageous work of our personnel and the additional protection of these vehicles that the lives of rescuers, civilians, and children have been saved on numerous occasions.
The transferred Land Rover Defender Snatch vehicles will be deployed in humanitarian and evacuation missions in the Donetsk region, protecting Ukrainian lives.
We sincerely thank everyone who contributed to the implementation of this vital project. We continue to work on finding resources to purchase more armored vehicles, as dozens of such vehicles are critically needed.
