🤝 This was part of the “Community to Community” project run by the Embassy of Ukraine in Japan, and was made possible by logistics support from NPO EURASIA.

💬 Mayor Kozak said, “The vehicle is in excellent condition and will be a valuable resource for improving residents’ safety. It will strengthen the capacity of the local fire brigade and could play a decisive role in rapid response.”

☝️ The vehicle has no water tank, but it is equipped with a pump, which makes it important, practical aid that greatly strengthens the community’s material and technical resources.

🔹 The humanitarian aid was received by First Deputy Mayor Ivan Hanhal and by representatives of a hromada in Kharkiv Oblast that has also received humanitarian aid from Japan. Along with the aid came a symbolic poster wishing for peace in Ukraine.

🇯🇵 Japan has shown once again that “true friendship knows no borders.” This is more than an act of assistance: it is a symbol of trust and partnership, grounded in shared values of respect for life, the pursuit of peace and the wish to help people in hardship.

📣 We sincerely thank the residents of Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, the Embassy of Ukraine in Japan, NPO EURASIA and everyone involved in this important initiative. Thank you for your partnership, your kindness and your support for our community.

We are proud of our partnership with the people of Japan and firmly believe that this cooperation will bring many more good deeds and become the foundation for new initiatives and projects built on friendship.

Together we are stronger!
