Car For Ukraine Has Urgent Request For Trucks in Kursk and Pokrovsk Directions

Car For Ukraine – Additional Extremely Urgent Request in Pokrovsk Direction

Second Request Dated 1 October 2024

Oleksiy’s combat unit in the Pokrovsk region has just suffered the devastating loss of its second Ford Ranger in a drone attack. Their first Ford Ranger—a crucial lifeline—is in for repairs. Right now, this brave unit is stranded and facing dangerous missions without any vehicles to shield them.

10 October 2024 – Update on the Second Request

Car For Ukraine has purchased a low-mileage Ford Ranger from the UK at a favourable price for Oleksiy’s unit. Oleksiy is also purchasing a truck in Poland, so the additional vehicle will support his unit’s critical needs. Funds have been transferred in response to the urgent situation. Delivery to Lviv is expected in approximately three weeks, taking into account UK transport, armouring, and mechanical upgrades in Ukraine.
