Since Putin's illegal full-blown invasion Medical Life Lines Ukraine has (as of the end of May 2026) delivered 130 aid-filled ambulances and emergency services vehicles to Ukraine alongside 25 generators and even an all-terrain rescue crane. This work has saved so many lives already and - perhaps even more importantly - shown the people of Ukraine that a huge number of people around the world are acutely aware of their plight and keen to help them in whatever way that they can.

Russia has pursued a strategy of attacking Ukraine's civilian population both directly (through firing missiles at residential buildings, parks and schools as well as having its drone operators target civilian buses and even dog walkers) and indirectly (though attacking its energy infrastructure, hospitals and rescue workers).

It costs some £15-25k to buy, recondition and deliver an ambulance to Ukraine. This money is raised by our wonderful volunteer fundraiser-drivers.

Any excess funds are used to buy medical and other aid, additional equipment and vehicles needed by the emergency services - maybe even an additional all-terrain rescue crane! We work closely with the health and emergency authorities in Ukraine to identify what is needed so that we can then deliver what people actually need, where they need it.

This includes not only ambulances and medical aid (everything from crutches to defibrillators, bandages, endoscopes and surgical tools) but also clothing and practically anything else that is needed and we can carry. Even food for rescue dogs!

We - and the people of Ukraine - are hugely grateful to you for your generosity in continuing to help to save lives and send a very significant message of support to the people of Ukraine who are suffering so greatly as a result of Russia's appalling aggression. Thank you.
