The British NGO handed over a bus to Ukraine, which they converted into a mobile hospital for the Ukrainian military.
The Embassy of Ukraine in Great Britain said the initiative was made possible thanks to Swindon Humanitarian Aid Partnership (SHAP), Rubryka reports.
What is the problem?
During fierce battles, Ukrainian soldiers continue to receive injuries of varying degrees of severity. The delivery time of the defenders to the stabilization center from the front line plays a vital role.
"The distance between the front line and the hospital can be no less deadly for a wounded soldier than the battlefield," said Ukrainian Ambassador to Great Britain Vadym Prystaiko.

The SHAP brings together caring people of British, Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian descent to create initiatives like this to aid the Ukrainian people.
How does it work?
The bus has been additionally strengthened and modified, and most of its seats have been replaced with hospital beds and necessary medical equipment.

"Even if this bus saves just one life (although it could save many more), it will be a testament to the fact that all our efforts have been worthwhile," said SHAP Chairman Mike Bowden.

"This hospital is exactly what we need to evacuate the wounded and provide the necessary assistance on the way," the Ukrainian diplomat emphasized.
As Rubryka reported, Great Britain will begin the initial phase of training Ukrainian pilots this summer.
The British defense company BAE Systems, which produces fighter jets, ships, and submarines, may open an office in Ukraine and later launch the enterprise.
