VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis is donating four ambulances to Ukraine to be used on the front lines of the war with Russia, the Vatican said on Monday.

Since Moscow invaded its neighbour in February 2022, the pope has donated three ambulances, a hospital van and ultrasound machines for hospitals targeted by military strikes, as well as generators, food and medicine.

“The Holy Father has decided once again to send his almoner to Ukraine to offer four ambulances, equipped with all medical equipment necessary to save human lives, which will be intended for war zones,” the Vatican said in a statement.
