The charitable foundation “UKRAINE IS GREAT” presents a project to supply heavy-duty buses with increased cross-country ability for the needs of regional military administrations.
Relevance of the project
Taking into account the permanent crisis situations caused by the terrorist actions of the russian federation against Ukraine, which require the constant readiness of the relevant state authorities to carry out evacuation measures for the civilian population, for example, the explosion of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which led to the flooding of more than 80 settlements, the foundation team decided to implement of the project to provide specialized services of Ukraine with the necessary material and technical support for the implementation of evacuation measures, namely heavy all-wheel drive ultra-strong buses.
The foundation team is confident that the availability of special transport in each of the regions of Ukraine for organizing the urgent evacuation of a large number of people will make it possible to concentrate the maximum number of evacuation capacities in this necessary region in a short period of time (less than 12 hours) and save the lives of people who find themselves in a crisis situation.
