Rotary Enables Two Evacuation Vehicles to Be Deployed at the Front

Two case vehicles are now being rebuilt into advanced evacuation units in Kyiv region, thanks to the support of several Rotary clubs in Gothenburg. Once completed, the vehicles will be deployed at or near the frontline, where they will function as fast-response evacuation transport for wounded soldiers.

There are currently no official figures published on the number of injured and killed in combat zones. However, the intensity of fighting in several regions—and repeated reports of targeted attacks on both military and civilian infrastructure —indicates a significant and ongoing rise in casualties. In these conditions, frontline evacuation vehicles are indispensable.

In practice, these rebuilt units act as “ambulance funds” at the front, picking up injured personnel directly from the battlefield and transporting them to safer areas for stabilization and further care. Designed for dangerous terrain and rapid response, they are essential for saving lives in real time.

Rotary’s contribution makes a direct and lasting impact. It strengthens front line medical logistics and provides a critical lifeline to those injured in active combat zones.

We thank the participating Rotary clubs for their long-term commitment and for once again demonstrating that concrete action can save lives.
