Help Steve, Mark and Beth buy drive, and deliver an evacuation vehicle to Ukraine 🇺🇦
In July 2025, father-and-daughter duo Mark and Beth Farrow, alongside morale officer Stephen White, will drive 1,318 miles over 3 days across Europe to deliver an evacuation vehicle destined for work on the Ukrainian frontlines.
This will be Mark and Steve's third trip to Ukraine, having driven from the UK to Lviv in September 2024 and again February 2025 to deliver pickup trucks to combat medics. This time, joined by Beth for her inaugural mission, they plan to head straight for Lviv to complete their hat-trick of life saving machines. The team now need your support to drive, and deliver this vehicle.
"Thanks to everyone who supports us. On our last trip the Ukrainians presented us with a flag signed by casualties who were rescued in vehicles like the ones we donated. It really drove home how important the work done by Driving Ukraine is and how much it is appreciated." - Mark Farrow
"Every donation that helps provide a vehicle brings closer the chance of saving someone’s life and to be able to help Ukraine in any way possible is something to be proud of." - Beth Farrow
"Mark and I have done two trips so far, and we thank everyone who supported us on those trips. Those vehicles went on and continue to be a vital part in the effort to save lives as well as transporting vital aid. This third trip is still just as important and will make a huge difference to the brave Ukrainian people" - Stephen White
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, 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 as negotiations over the future continuing. 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 hospitals have been destroyed.
We request your support in raising £5,000 and beyond to buy and transport a 4x4 vehicle.
Funds raised beyond this target will buy a drone jamming device to prevent the vehicle being destroyed by FPV drones. More details below.
Vehicles are destroyed by the harsh war-torn conditions, further exacerbated by the cold winter which Ukraine is emerging from. Vehicles are destroyed by the enemy: bullets, artillery, shrapnel are key causes, but drones are the largest threat.
An example “EW” Electronic Warfare drone jamming system is below. Specifically the ‘Amulet 7M’.
This technology is made by volunteers in Lviv and seeks to block a range of frequencies which drones rely on to fly.
Kamikaze drones aiming for our vehicles are stopped 180 metres away: depending on the settings they are forced to either lose connection and fall from the sky, emergency land, or return to ‘home’, all of which prevent destruction to the vehicle, and protect the lives of the driver, the passengers, and any wounded soldiers the vehicle is carrying.
