\u201cAmbulances for Kharkiv \u2013 Donate so that help can be provided\u201d<\/h1>\n
Russian troops are attacking targets in Ukraine on a daily basis. Hospitals, medical facilities and emergency services are also being deliberately bombed. The danger is particularly high in regions close to the front line and in cities such as Kherson, Kramatorsk and Kharkiv. The targeted hunting of civilians and infrastructure in Kherson using so-called FPV (first-person view) drones \u2013 the so-called \u2018human safari\u2019 \u2013 is utterly perverse. Yet in other cities too, emergency services and first responders are falling victim to drone and missile attacks in exactly the same way.<\/p>\n
We have now received an urgent appeal for support from Kharkiv, Ukraine\u2019s second-largest city. Vladimir Viktorovich Usov, Head of the Kharkiv District Military Administration, and Viktor Federovich Zabashta, Director of the Regional Centre for Emergency Medicine and Disaster Relief, have addressed us via video. In the video, they report on the situation in Kharkiv, with Vladimir Viktorovich Usov telling us:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\u201cWe are writing to ask for your help in providing charitable aid in the form of ambulances. Our district is located in a combat zone. Five municipalities were previously in the occupied zone \u2013 they have now been liberated. However, active fighting is still taking place. Every day, medical staff suffer from explosions, injuries and damage to their vehicles.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\nDuring the war, more than one hundred and ninety vehicles were damaged in the city centre; more than twenty of them have been completely destroyed and cannot be repaired. The vehicles are attacked by drones practically every day, and electronic countermeasures do not always help. We therefore need help with the vehicles.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
