UKRAINIAN pharmacy groups, representing more than 1,200 stores, are launching an appeal to overseas colleagues and European companies to acquire specialist ambulances from around Europe for the war-torn nation's armed forces.
In a statement issued to Interfax-Ukraine, Plantain Pharmacy Network Head of External Communications, Olha Hrechko, said ambulances and medical infrastructure had been "deliberately destroyed" by the Russian military, making "the salvation of the injured impossible".
Pharmacy Network, Podorozhnuk, Financial Director, Andriy Matkivskyi, added that the group of pharmacies was "ready to buy" or receive donations of armoured ambulances and resuscitation cars, to support the Ukrainian army as the war continues.
"There is a huge need for medical special vehicles in Ukraine," the group said.
"It is necessary to provide more than 200 cars to the military."
