On 22 May six ambulances led by Help4Ukraine crossed into Ukraine and were handed over to the Ukrainian Territorial Defence whose job it is then to deliver the ambulances to where they are needed.

In recent weeks the toll being taken on the front line in Ukraine has gone up significantly. Something, sadly, predicted for a while now. As the invasion of Russian forces comes under heavy attack from improved weapons for the defenders the slow grind of artillery warfare takes its toll.

Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, Lord Monson (known as Nick to many) told Bridget Convey about an extraordinary group of people he knew of. They were not content to merely watch the war and subsequent suffering unfold on television but wanted to take direct action and make a difference.

Help4Ukraine does a lot more than send Ambulances and Medical aid to Ukraine. We do a lot more than support and extract people in the country through our partners Operation Safe Drop and the Make a Difference Foundation.

Work for Ukraine continues. We are supporting 'First One in' and 'Operation Safe Drop' both teams on the ground in Ukraine. Their roles are to train army personnel in battlefield first aid and in extracting those who need help the most; elderly, disabled, and traumatised children. Extracting them from the front line and into occupied territory.
