EUAM, EULEX provide 12 vehicles to Ukrainian border guards

Ukrainian border guards received 12 vehicles from the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo.

This was reported by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

On July 12, the EU Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) sent a convoy of 10 cars and 2 special vans from its headquarters in Pristina (Kosovo).

The donation came as part of technical support to Ukraine during Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The European Union Advisory Mission Ukraine for Reforming the Civilian Security Sector of Ukraine (EUAM) provided shipping support.

The vehicles were filled with food, clothing, sleeping bags, hygiene goods, and medical supplies EUAM transferred to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

Border guards noted that vehicles have already arrived in Ukraine.

“In response to Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine, EUAM has supported its partners through the donation of material and equipment such as first aid kits, personal protective gear and vehicles.

The donation of these vehicles by our sister Mission EULEX Kosovo is a tangible example, how the heroic defense of the Ukrainian nation has inspired the whole EU community to help and to support Ukraine.

EUAM is delighted to pass these vehicles on to the Ukrainian Border Guard Service, one of the Mission’s key partners,” said EUAM chairman Antti Hartikainen.

Recently, benefactors from Spain also purchased important equipment for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

Border guards received several SUVs and 23 specialized emergency medical vehicles.
