The Mayor of Krakow, in Poland, announced today that the city’s transport company will provide the Ukrainian city of Lviv with five buses filled with gifts. The vehicles are completely operational and will deliver a much-needed help to the inhabitants of the city, one month after the start of the Russian invasion.
As soon as the war broke out on 24 February, support started pouring into Ukrainian cities from their partners in Europe. Mostly, it was in the form of food, clothes, medicine and other humanitarian aid.
But as the invasion goes on, Ukrainian cities, having their infrastructure heavily bombarded by Russian forces, need plenty of other things. Among them, vehicles for public transportation, as the mayor of Lviv has explained, calling on the Association of Polish Cities for assistance on the matter.
In response to his plea, Mayor of Krakow, Jacek Majchrowski, has committed to giving five used public transportation buses to the Ukrainian city. They have all been used on the streets of Krakow, have undergone technical inspection and are fully operational and can be put to use immediately.
Moreover, the buses will be delivered with packages of consumables to further extend their usability. Local drivers, working for the public transport company MPK SA in Krakow will deliver them to the border, from where there will be picked by drivers from Lviv.
Finally, in order to make the aid journey as efficient as possible, the five buses will depart filled with gifts collected by the inhabitants of Krakow and local businesses, including food, chemicals, blankets, mattresses, sleeping bags, hygiene and dressings, children's products and clothes.
