Excerpts from cbsnewschicago.com:
As Ukraine continues its counteroffensive against Russia, the war-torn country is getting some medical help from Illinois, thanks to new ambulances and fire trucks heading to the front lines.
A shipment of 12 vehicles left on Wednesday as part of an effort by U.S. Ambulances for Ukraine, a central Illinois group founded by OSF HealthCare vice president of government relations Chris Manson.
While some of the ambulances donated to Ukraine have been destroyed in combat, the life-saving benefits are clear.
In all, the organization has sent more than 30 donated ambulances to Ukraine.
