Along with weapons and ammunition, one thing Ukraine desperately needs on the frontline is vehicles - particularly 4x4s.
Forces News has spoken to an Australian vet and conservationist who has donated six pick-ups to the Ukrainian military and has just driven one from London to Lviv herself.
Since the start of the war in February 2022, Dr Claire Oelrichs has bought half a dozen pick-ups - paid for with her own money and through fundraising.

Huge respect to them for what they are doing. We need to help with funding in anyway we can so vehicles can continue to travel to Ukraine. 🇬🇧❤️🤝🏼🇺🇦

1970s at school they told me "we're going metric now". Mustn't rush things.

Why do the massive vehicle corporations not take a leaf from her book and donate vehicles, Merdedes G.Wagens, Unimogs, Toyota landcruisers, Nissan Patrols, Landrovers, Range Rovers, V.W., BMW, Jeep, etc etc. Not to mention the Truck manufacturers. This war should not depend on charity from old age pensioners.

I thought they all needed to be gotten rid off because of the environment?

@Phuc_Yhou Ай бұрын

You're right the Russians are not wanted in that environment 😉

@claireanddexter Ай бұрын

These are not ULEZ cars. but Ukraine hopes to get them too. Rusky will then handle the demolition of the cars!

Hmmm my comments removed again 💩

@davidz2690 Ай бұрын

So pointless lol, you don't think they have millions of unarmoured passenger vehicles already in Ukraine?

@crage92 Ай бұрын

You miss the point.. vehicles from the UK are right hand drive.. so if a sniper tries to take out the driver of the vehicle he would hit the driver in a European car but the passenger in a British car.. allowing the car to escape still.. so really not pointless at all.
