Attacks are now part of everyday life on the frontline cities and towns in Ukraine.

In Dnipro, people are enduring intense bombing every night.

In Odesa, homes are being destroyed on a daily basis and families spend their nights in shelters, comforting their terrified children.

First responders are being hit while running towards those injured in the strikes. Aid workers are being deliberately targeted.

Standing with Ukraine since the first days of the war.

REACT deployed to Ukraine shortly after the Russian invasion in 2022 and has worked alongside the Ukrainian Education Platform (UEP) since then. Our earliest support focused on the most acute needs near the frontline in the east; providing food, water, medical supplies and generators to keep clinics and hospitals running. We have helped to establish evacuation centres for the elderly, women and children.

At the request of UEP and its partners, we have developed Incident Management Training and have now delivered this training in seven towns, supporting local NGOs, civil society organisations and citizens living and working in frontline areas.

What Operation PACE Incident Management Training delivers

On this upcoming deployment, two teams of REACT Responders will train 150 people across six frontline communities:

• How to identify and mitigate the risks of operating in a war zone.

• Lifesaving trauma medical training: controlling catastrophic bleeds in the first few minutes after an injury.

• How to keep a casualty alive until they can be evacuated to a hospital; when an evacuation in these locations can take hours, not minutes.

Every person we train keeps the trauma kit they’ve been shown how to use.

Why this matters now

When a strike hits, the difference between someone surviving and someone dying is most often the person standing next to them. Operation PACE makes that person ready.

The people of Ukraine know they can depend on REACT to keep coming back, to keep training and to keep walking towards the danger they cannot leave.
