Help Sam Drive and Deliver a Life-Saving Evacuation Vehicle to Ukraine 🇺🇦
In Spring 2027, Sam Watters 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.Â
Sam has put his hands up to support the Driving Ukraine team to sponsor, drive and deliver a vehicle. He is now counting on your support to make it happen.
The urgent need for international support in Ukraine is undeniable, even as some sort of peace is discussed. 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.Â
Vehicles, aid, and international support are more necessary than ever before.
Driving Ukraine deploys 4x4 vehicles to:Â
- CASEvac (Casualty-evacuation) teams
- First aid responders
- Air defence teamsÂ
- Humanitarian bomb disposalÂ
- Hospitals and emergency services
These teams work under constant threat. Without vehicles, they simply cannot operate.Â
Your donation will turn into real vehicles, in real places, saving real lives.Â
The Goal = $9,000Â
This Covers:

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. Our field evaluation found Chuyka to be the best practical option available today.Â
