Help Brian and Steve to Drive and Deliver a Life-Saving Evacuation Vehicle to Ukraine

In September  2026, Brian Gunter and Stephen Morris will drive 1,318 miles across Europe in 3 days to deliver an evacuation vehicle to Ukraine, where it will be donated to save lives on the frontlines.

”I have supported Ukraine and its people since the beginning of the full scale invasion. I have friends and acquaintance in Ukraine some of whom joined the military and have suffered from injuries. Although I have donated to many and various campaigns to buy vehicles or equipment for Ukraine I have always felt I should do more to help Ukraine win this war. So driving and donating a vehicle to Ukraine especially at this point in the war when I feel they are starting to turn the tide in Ukraine’s favour would be a timely and worthwhile thing to do. I have always believed that if Ukraine had the equipment they need they will win this war and Russia has to lose” – Brian

”I’m doing this because I believe that if we in the West don’t stand with Ukraine,  Putin’s Russia will come for us all. My grandchildren deserve the peace and relative freedom that my generation has enjoyed. Ukraine deserves that too and I’m willing to do my part to ensure that happens” – Steve

They have put their hands up to support the Driving Ukraine team and make this delivery happen again, and now need your support to fund, drive and deliver this vehicle.

The urgent need for international support in Ukraine is undeniable. The longer the invasion persists, the more challenging it becomes for Ukraine. The toll of the conflict is staggering. Since 24 February 2022, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed by aerial attacks. Over 1,000 medical facilities have been destroyed. Every nine minutes, there is an attempted evacuation of the wounded from the front lines.

Vehicles, aid, and international support are more necessary than ever before.

Driving Ukraine deploys 4×4 vehicles to:

  • CASEvac (Casualty-evacuation) teams
  • First aid responders
  • Air defence teams
  • Humanitarian bomb disposal
  • Hospitals and emergency services

These teams work under constant threat. Without vehicles, they simply cannot operate.

 

Your donation will turn into real vehicles, in real places, saving real lives.

The Goal = £7,000 

This Covers:

  • Purchasing the Evac-vehicle in the UK
  • Prep in the UK & modification in Ukraine (camo paint if necessary)
  • Fuel and transport across Europe

Stretch Goal: Drone detecting technology.

FPV drones are currently the deadliest threat to medics and evacuation teams. They appear without warning. One strike can turn a rescue into a tragedy. Early warning is everything: extra time to stop, disperse, or take cover.

Additional funds over the goal will equip this vehicle with a Chuyka / Чуйка 3.0 drone signal detector, giving crews precious seconds to stop, disperse, and take cover.

The Чуйка 3.0 is a compact, battle-ready FPV video-signal detector that detects drone signals. It displays enemy drone video feeds. It’s portable, simple to use under stress, and built for the frontlines – teams can carry, charge and operate it from vehicles, checkpoints, or on foot.
