Britain to donate over 20 ambulances to Ukraine

The UK National Health Service (NHS) will donate around 20 ambulances to Ukraine to help replace Ukrainian ambulances lost to Russian bombardments.

That's according to a statement posted on the website of the UK Government, Ukrinform reports.

"The UK has been among the biggest aid donors, providing food, medicines and generators to help those affected. These world class NHS ambulances will now help bring lifesaving care directly to those injured in the conflict," said UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.

The donation will help bring vital lifesaving care to Ukrainians remaining in towns and cities under attack from Russian bombardments, the statement said.

To date the UK has donated 5.29 million items of medical supplies to Ukraine to help the country cope with the medical emergency caused by the Russian invasion and save tens of thousands of lives.
