The Diplomat
Last Tuesday a Gala in solidarity with Ukraine was held in a joint Ukrainian-British event with the participation of Spanish business associations, humanitarian aid funds, charitable foundations, business circles, Ukrainian companies, representatives of the Diplomatic Corps and Spanish media leaders.
During the event, recognition was given to the work of individuals and institutions that joined in the action to raise funds for the purchase of armoured ambulances for Ukraine. Six companies and institutions were honoured for their important contribution to the humanitarian campaign to raise funds for the purchase of these vehicles, including Repsol; President of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso; Porcelanosa, OHLA, CEOE and the Embassy of the United Kingdom.
The Ambassador of Ukraine, Serhii Pohoreltsev, stressed in his speech the need to continue to coordinate comprehensive support for Ukraine and thanked all those who supported the humanitarian action initiated by the Embassy: “Thanks to your contribution to this noble cause, he said, we were able to buy and send to Ukraine 3 armoured medical cars, which are already saving the lives of doctors and wounded on the front line”.
The event opened with a performance by the Peredzvin Ukrainian Children’s Choir and guests were treated to traditional Ukrainian dishes.
The Embassy continues to raise funds for new armoured ambulances. Everyone can join the initiative by making a contribution to the Embassy’s humanitarian account: ES86 0182 2251 0702 0159 9958, marking EMERGENCY or the concept AMBULANCE.
