SUPPORT UKRAINIAN RESCUERS!

We have supported Ukraine from the start of the full scale invasion

Since the beginning of the war, the Estonian Rescue Association has been supporting Ukrainian rescuers by delivering aid with the help of volunteers. Already in the early days of the war, donors helped to organise equipment and technical supplies that were immediately sent to our Ukrainian colleagues.

The generosity of the Estonian people is remarkable - together, since the beginning of the war, almost €7 million worth of aid has been delivered to the State Emergency Services of Ukraine: rescue equipment and machinery, container trucks, soup kitchens, a mobile headquarters, cars, vans, ATVs, drones, excavators etc.

LET'S DEMINE UKRAINE!

Support for humanitarian deminers in Ukraine has become increasingly important. Ukraine's emergency services are facing a severe shortage of demining equipment, with more than 250,000 km2 of mined areas, an area the size of five Estonian territories. According to the international think-tank GLOBSEC, Ukraine has the largest area of mined land in the world, passing Afghanistan and Syria. At the current rate of demining, it could take more than 700 years to make Ukraine safe.

In addition to demining, there is a shortage of emergency response equipment, first aid supplies and much more.

Estonian Rescue Association, with the help of private individuals and companies, has sent almost €2 million worth of assistance to Ukraine's demining sector, including the MV-4 demining robot, first aid supplies, metal detectors, vehicles for transporting humanitarian deminers.

How does your donation reach the Ukrainian rescuers?

After you make your donation, the funds will be transferred directly to the account of the Estonian Rescue Association, where we will collect all the funds to support Ukraine. We are in direct contact with the State Emergency Services of Ukraine (Ukrainian Rescue Service), who will provide us with a list of the equipment they most need.

After collecting the funds, we will ask our partners from Estonia and Europe what their possibilities are to fill the list of the Ukrainian Rescue Service. Once the equipment and/or machinery has been procured, it will be delivered, with the help of volunteer rescuers, directly to the State Emergency Services of Ukraine in Lviv or Kyiv, or directly to the city in crisis.

What is the result of your donation?

With your contribution, we can support Ukrainian rescuers who put their lives on the line to save others - from dealing with the aftermath of rocket attacks, to rubble rescue, putting out fires, providing psychological support to the population and more.

Humanitarian deminers work to clean up areas contaminated by war, giving farmers the chance to return to their fields and civilians the chance to return to their homes and forests.

Where does the information reach about donated equipment?

Estonian Rescue Association supports and cooperates directly with the State Emergency Services of Ukraine, which is responsible for the rescue sector in Ukraine.

The statistics on the amount of equipment and equipment donated by the Estonian Rescue Association are forwarded to the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on an ongoing basis.

All information on donated equipment can be found on our Facebook page and on our website.
