A New HUG Ambulance Convoy From Sweden Has Reached Ukraine

After thousands of kilometers on the road, our volunteer-driven convoy has safely arrived, delivering urgently needed medical vehicles.

This convoy is the result of our fundraising campaign to deliver 10 ambulances to Ukraine. Thanks to the support of our partners and the Swedish community, we've now sent 7 life-saving vehicles.

“I joined HUG as a volunteer 3.5 years ago. It all started in Kungsbacka, where I met people who had arrived from different parts of Ukraine seeking safety in Sweden. There's a huge aggressor nearby, and Ukraine has taken an enormous hit. The rest of Europe could be threatened as well. It's a very complicated situation – people haven't seen anything like this since World War II” - Per Rosengren, volunteer

The need for medical transport in Ukraine remains critical. As of November 2025, 2,530 medical facilities within 815 healthcare institutions have been damaged or destroyed. Russian aggression has completely destroyed 327 facilities belonging to 125 healthcare institutions.

"I think this is obviously a matter that concerns us all, given what's happening. By helping out, we're helping ourselves, and we can make everyday life easier for those who are struggling. Down there right now, it feels like the least we can do”. - Anders Rundström, volunteer

Ambulances have become critically important to Ukraine's emergency system. In areas where hospitals have been destroyed or are overwhelmed, ambulances serve as a vital link between injured civilians and medical care. Each donated ambulance means countless lives can be saved.

"This is my first time driving an ambulance all the way to Ukraine. It makes the help more tangible – if you can help, you should help. It feels natural to me. We asked colleagues in the office if anyone wanted to help, and so many actually volunteered. We had to draw lots to select the seven who would drive down. That shows how much people care" – Jan Holmius, Mannheimer Swartling  

We're deeply grateful to all the incredible volunteers who drove every vehicle all the way to Lviv. Special thanks to Region Halland, who donated 3 ambulances and strengthened our fundraising efforts. And heartfelt thanks to the Swedish community who continues to support our mission to help Ukraine.

We're still raising funds to deliver the final 3 ambulances and complete our goal.
