Help Christopher and Neil buy, drive, and deliver an evacuation vehicle to Ukraine 🇺🇦
In December 2025, Christopher Hill and Neil Polley will drive 1,318 miles over 3 days across Europe to deliver an evacuation 4x4 vehicle to Ukraine, where it will be donated for work on the Ukrainian frontlines.
Christopher and Neil have put their hands up to support the Driving Ukraine team and make the delivery happen, and they now need your support to drive and deliver this vehicle.
Driving Ukraine vehicles, 4x4 pickup trucks and ambulances, are purchased in the UK and modified by dedicated volunteers, before being placed with essential teams in Ukraine including: ambulance crews, 4x4 evacuation teams, first-aid responders, international volunteer medics, air defence teams, humanitarian bomb disposal units, hospitals, among others.
The urgent need for international support in Ukraine is undeniable, particularly today, even as some sort of peace is discussed. The longer this invasion persists, the more challenging it becomes for Ukraine. The war is now in its fourth year. The future of Ukraine’s survival hangs in the balance with new international leaders in power. The Ukrainians need more vehicles, aid, and international support from volunteers than ever before.
The toll of this conflict is staggering, with tens of thousands of civilians killed, countless more injured, and hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure damage. 4,000,000 Ukrainians have lost their homes, 10,000 missiles have been launched at the country, and over 1,000 medical facilities have been destroyed.
Detect. Warn. Save lives - Help us further equip vehicles with a Чуйка 3.0 drone detector.
Once we hit the £5,000 target to fund the vehicle, any additional funds raised will go towards upgrading the vehicle with a Чуйка 3.0 (Chuyka) drone signal detector. This is a tool that allows teams on the front line to stay one step ahead of enemy drones.
FPV drones are the single biggest, fastest-moving threat to our medics and evacuation teams. The opposition doesn't need accurate artillery to destroy a rescue: a kamikaze quadcopter or a guided FPV strike can appear without warning and turn an evacuation into a catastrophe. Early warning is everything: extra time to evaluate, stop, disperse, or take cover - saves lives.
The Чуйка 3.0 is a compact, battle-ready FPV video-signal detector that detects a drone signal on 1.2 / 3.3 / 5.8 GHz bands - and shows signal video feed, strength and frequency quickly. It’s portable, simple to use under stress, and built so teams can carry, charge and operate it from vehicles, checkpoints, or on foot. Our field evaluation found Chuyka to be the best practical option available today.
Donate now so we can equip our recipients and vehicles with these critically needed detectors.
