We are devastated and broken.
Unfortunately we have to tell that our

is destroyed.
It was delivered to the paramedic from 115 brigade just three weeks ago and didn’t last long.
Oleksii Sydorenko “Ukrop” died yesterday in that ambulance.
A hero, who was serving…

Nothing different from the day to day life of a

Recently…
Convoy 30 en route from Amsterdam, marking our first 150 ambulances for Ukraine. Follow us for the great stories about these machines and what comes after them.
When you tell people you brought 🚑 to 🇺🇦, they take it as a big deal. Come back in a few months saying you've brought 120, and nobody bats an eye. At some point, it all becomes just statistics. Still, to us each vehicle is important, for they save lives every day. Here's how 🧵
You all heard a small street organ playing the Ukrainian national anthem in front of the russian embassy in The Hague on 24th and this was hilarious. But have you heard... a clock tower in Delft doing the same?
Speechless ♥️🤍💙
This might look like one of Benny Hill series, but all in all our first 50 generators and power stations have left for Ukraine, so thanks everyone who donated money and helped us load them. The help is on the way.
Remember Florens? Probably not, it’s been a month. Anyway, on Feb 24 he cycled 365 km through the Netherlands while raising funds for 🚑 for 🇺🇦. His journey resulted in over EUR 8000 and here’s what we've bought.
Yesterday convoy 43A crossed the border to
#Ukraine
.
There were no problems on the
#Polish
side.
We actually went first to Krakowiec, got in there in 5 minutes or ao but were turned back, because the customs officer told us that she can’t process our secret mission at this…
We don't accept cash donations during Tour de Ambulance event, and it's not really about raising funds, but when these two young girls came to us today with a 20 EUR note they had just found on the ground and decided to donate, we couldn't refuse. Thanks 💙💛
This weekend, we sent 3 🚑 to 🇺🇦, and with one already accounted for, our total count stands at 98 now. The personal ambulance based on a Ford S-Max was funded by our trusted partner Asbis, and the remaining two were purchased from Zeilen's general donations pool. 🧵
Mariia Yudenok, 81, a resident of Kachali village next to Borodyanka in Kyiv region. Having lost her house in a mine blast, she lives with her daughter close by and moves around with a blue Dutch omafiets now. But that's not the end of the story. 🧵
Thanks to our great volunteers, we made 180 bikes ready for Ukraine yesterday, and this is the new high for one day of work.
Let see how long it lasts.
To help us bring more 🚴🏼♂️ to 🇺🇦, please donate via . Thank you.
The Dutch NAFO Fellas travel to the watermelonland!
Our latest ambulance is now on its way to Kherson, with a dedication to all brave 🇳🇱 boys and girls fighting the russian nonsense at the darkest corners of the internet.

Many did not know about our Energy for Ukraine campaign at all. Many have already forgotten about it. And still, it is going on. 50x 10 kVa generators reached Zgraya in Kyiv and now go to final destinations all over Ukraine, thanks to your donations.
59/ One mad Ukrainian engineer has built the most badass field evacuation vehicle you'll see in this thread called The Ark. Now, volunteer medics raise money to purchase it and convert into a medical stabilization unit.
🔋 So here's the deal. Donate to one of our "Energy to Ukraine" link (below). Donate once, donate today before 00:00 CET. Send us a proof in comments or a DM. A random supporter will get a piece of a russian fighter jet that is no longer gonna generate. Any amount counts. 👇
Yesterday our 41 convoy departed to

They already crossed the

Last week, two more 10 kVa power generators purchased with our Energy for Ukraine appeal were delivered by Zgraya to medical institutions. Here's one for Zaporizhzhia regional hospital.

Viktor is a 70 years old forester who has looked after the trees for 50 years. He lived and worked next to Chornobyl until the explosion in 1986, then moved to Makariv in the Kyiv region with his family. His old bike broke some time ago, but now he has a new one, straight from 🇳🇱
Here's a short "I've got the power" update. By yesterday evening, we raised over EUR 125.000 and ordered 10x 10 kWh (mid Dec) and 80x 6 kWh (early Jan) diesel generators. This comes as an addition to 71 generators ordered and reported previously.

We plan to send a truckload more of those donated by

A few months back, we helped bring a helicopter pilot helmet to Ukraine. Just heard that it saved the pilot during the emergency landing. Good deeds come back. Alive.
70 new Suzuki Grand Vitara's have been handed over to 🇺🇦 Ministry of Health by Unicef. They will be used for paediatric doctor and nurse visits in rural areas all over the country. The vehicles were funded by the people from 🇳🇱, supposedly through Giro 555.
Very very tired group of volunteers here.
This week we loaded our THIRD truck in just one month and sent it to
#Ukraine
This truck is a bit special (as usual, what can we say), because it was full with medical equipment. And not just any medical equipment but very important…
Much like the bois on the photos, our old Unimog didn't expect to get to an actual warzone until recently, being a happy camper. But the time has come and it does its part to help Ukraine now. And so do the guys.
Thanks for your donations everyone.
Convoy 39

This time we had an ambulance sponsored by Ultra4Ukraine, this one was delivered to Special Operation Forces of Ukraine. To the medics who are working in the hottest points.

We have to apologize
#Fellas
The month of August we were rather passive than active on

Our tweets became less interesting, less engaging, less informative.
We have to say - we needed a brake.
After 1,5 years of non-stop work for the first time this year we decided that…
We bought a wind turbine for 🇺🇦 and it's now en route to Kherson! As diesel generators are noisy, consuming lots of scarce fuel and pollute the air, we will install the wind power to not only bring light to Ukraine, but do it in sustainable and environmentally-responsible way! 🌿
This is our ambulance number 80, a dedicated children ambulance that we purchased from small personal donations from all over the Netherlands (and beyond!) and sent to emergency medicine center in Zaporizhzhia.

This weekend is gonna be exhausting and tough.

Convoy 50 crossed the border to

It is one more car than departed from Amsterdam as we needed to pick up one ambulance for the frontline in Poland.
Our brave and sleepless drivers (they had just one hour less than usual today) did it again.
Thanks for the effort!…
This weekend, we sent another eight yellow ambulances to the defenders of Ukraine, getting to a total of 128. Here's how it was.
Delivering exactly what's expected and never letting down is what they need so bad now. Don't be a stranger, support Ukraine in whatever way you can.
Convoy 44 in
#Ukraine
The fastest border crossing so far in all the convoys history that brings the count to 178 ambulances in total.
Electronic system definitely speeds up the crossing itself, but to nail all the preparations and after actions - is an absolute disaster.…
Meanwhile, we continue our work on bringing more Dutch bikes to Ukraine. Recently, we picked the first batch of 20 bikes donated by
@GemeenteUtrecht
and will keep working with them further to provide better mobility options to the residents of Ukraine.
Yesterday part of our convoy # 46 departed from
#Amsterdam
to
#UKRAINE
Another part departed from
#Germany
to Ukraine the very same morning.
Logistics, documents and load we more complicated that usual. But both convoys managed to arrive to
#Poland
and just now crossing the…
766 days of the full scale invasion.
Endless sleepless nights.
190 ambulances
100+ evacuation vehicles
3 firetrucks

650+ tons of medical humanitarian aid
Today we send our convoy

Thanks everyone for the support and your donations!
Without you it won’t be…
The first truck with 255 bikes donated to Ukraine by
@AmsterdamNL
is now en route to Kyiv. Our local partner will do final maintenance there and then distribute the bikes in local communities in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Chernihiv regions.
We bought 15 generators of 2 kWh and 1 of 7 kWh. They go to Ukraine with our next ambulance convoy. But this is not enough. Please help us buy more. The need in power sources is immense. The winter is here and people are dying.
@Bones91412899
We did this post not as a call for donations.
Most likely we will open a separate fundraiser to collect money for an ambulance to replace this one. We will keep you posted
On Monday, we were in Groningen and got a visit from
@AmbulancezorgGR
. A team of Dutch paramedics could see for themselves under which conditions their colleagues from Ukraine work. And for a short while, the number of ambulances in our installation increased by 50%.
#FreeTheLeopards
square box ambulance has reached the medical company of 47 separate mechanized brigade of 🇺🇦 armed forces, but the bois seem to be embarrassed a bit by the big cat, or the other way around. Let's hope they get used to each other soon.

One of our best-kept secrets so far (because no one bothered to ask) is that in early May we send our 150th 🚑 to 🇺🇦. We're preparing a large convoy with a few exceptional machines, but one still stands out. It will be our smallest, yet significant vehicle and here it is! 👇
Our bikes collection project is slowly going on. We've collected over 50 bikes and 750 EUR and get the first batch ready for Ukraine. A special shout out goes to
@Give_Bikes
for donating 10 bikes and opening a collection point for us in Rotterdam!
"Uncle Sasha" lives alone in the Kyiv region. He's handicapped and can't find a permanent job but makes ends meet by helping his neighbors with some small tasks. The village he lives is rather large and Sasha had difficulties moving around as his old bike broke completely.

Now let's get serious for a moment, shall we? Along with 46 power generators we're bringing along to Ukraine 4 Ecoflow power stations to help patients with kidney failures in Kharkiv. Here's why. 👇
