“An armored Toyota Hilux off-road car, received six months ago as aid from the US government for law enforcement officers in the Kharkiv region, saved the lives of three police officers,” the report says.

On Monday, May 13, on the outskirts of Vovchansk, a car with police officers came under enemy small arms fire. There were no casualties. The evacuation was carried out by two policemen under the supervision of the head of the territorial unit.
