EU Civil Protection Mechanism: Spain donates two armoured ambulances to Ukraine

Spain has donated two armoured ambulances to Ukraine last week. The donation was made via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, the world’s largest system of coordinated international assistance in emergencies. 

The vehicle looks like an armoured personnel carrier, so it has better off-road capability. It is painted white, marked with a red cross, and equipped inside as a fully-fledged ambulance.

“These vehicles are designed to save lives – they will help Ukrainian first responders to evacuate patients and provide them with medical care on the go,” says a Facebook post by the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.

The EU Civil Protection Mechanism comprises the EU Member States and ten close partners of the EU, including Ukraine since last November.
