A Vehicle is a Lifeline: Rescuing Civilians on Ukraine's Frontline

The war continues, putting the lives of those in frontline areas at deadly risk.

In a recent feature, ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) Europe correspondent Elias Clure and camera operator Daniel Pannett met the volunteers risking their lives to save those who can't escape.

Saving civilians inside Ukraine’s fortress zone

Sarah Ferguson presents Australia's premier daily current affairs program, delivering agenda-setting public affairs journalism and interviews that hold the powerful to account. Plus political analysis from Laura Tingle.

Stand for U is honoured to support these heroes by providing the essential tools for their mission: the vehicles.

We directly fund and deliver specialised evacuation vehicles to our partners in the Kharkiv region. To date, we have sent six lifelines to the frontline: YVIK, Amy, Bob, Chris, Eric, and Graham. Two of them, ‘Bob’ and ‘Chris’, are featured in the ABC report, doing the daily, dangerous work of saving lives.

Three of our six evacuation vehicles—Bob, YVIK, and Amy—are on the ground in the Kharkiv region.

But their work is limited by the number of vehicles they have. Our partners have made an urgent request for more. Every vehicle we can send means another family can be brought to safety.

That's why we are launching a new fundraiser to purchase, service, and deliver another evacuation bus to the frontline. You can be a part of this vital work.
