Canadian Ambassador hands over ten ambulances to Ukrainian medical institutions

Ambassador of Canada to Ukraine Roman Waschuk has handed over ten ambulances to representatives of medical institutions from different regions of Ukraine. The ambulances were purchased for the funds of Canadian benefactors.

As an Ukrinform correspondent reports, the solemn ceremony of handing over took place within the framework of celebrations of the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Canadian-Ukrainian diplomatic relations on Friday.

"The funds for these ambulances were collected across Canada. They were adjusted to the Ukrainian standards in the five provinces. Hundreds of people from civil society, provincial governments and the federal government participated in this process. The ambulances are handed over to the hospitals from Luhansk to Chernivtsi, i.e. from the east to the west, as we collected money for them from the east to the west of Canada. That is why it is a gift from the entire Canada to the whole united Ukraine," Waschuk said.
