NPO EURASIA obtains emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire engines in Japan, ships them by sea, and delivers them to Ukraine after completing export, customs and other required procedures. Shipping vehicles involves considerable costs and paperwork, so we carry out this work with donations from individuals and support from companies and organizations.

In addition to emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire engines, we deliver the supplies needed on the ground, such as medical supplies. What we send changes with the situation and needs there, so our latest work is described in the activity reports on our official website.

What we send are ambulances, fire engines, medical supplies such as tourniquets, and drones for rescue work. We do not send weapons. All ambulances and fire engines go to local municipalities in Ukraine. Medical supplies such as tourniquets are received in bulk by a medical nonprofit in Ukraine, which distributes them to hospitals and other medical facilities and to units that treat the wounded. This is why we have also received a letter of appreciation from a military unit.
