A specialized vehicle donated to Help Ukraine Gothenburg (HUG) by Region Halland is now serving in Konotop. Unlike a traditional ambulance, it’s equipped with seatings and is used to transport socially vulnerable residents and veterans to hospitals and medical appointments.

Last summer at Almedalen, the HUG team had the opportunity to meet the mayor of Konotop. Through panel discussions and direct conversations, he shared what life is like in a frontline city and what needs the community faces.  

In the autumn, the city reached out with a request. And thanks to the trust and support of Region Halland, we were able to help.  

This vehicle helps elderly people, people with disabilities, and veterans reach care safely and on time — and it has already become part of everyday healthcare work on the ground.

We are grateful to Region Halland for their trust and support, and to our partners in Ukraine for the updates — they show exactly why this support matters.
