UK ambulances prepare to leave for Ukraine frontline
NHS trusts will donate a surplus fleet of ambulances to Ukraine to help replace vehicles lost during the Russian bombardment, the government has announced.

The vehicles are expected to arrive in the country’s western city of Lviv later this week, before being transported to the areas most in need.
