Swiss relief goods in action in Ukraine

At the end of 2022, the SDC delivered handling equipment (FUG) donated by the Swiss Army to the Ukrainian Civil Defence. These machines are very demanded due to Russian air attacks in Ukraine. In November 2024, a new delivery of 30 FUGs and 30 fire-fighting pumps arrived in Ukraine. The SDC programme officer, Urs Bächtold, visited eastern Ukraine to find out more about the use of this equipment.
