Ireland Delivers 34 Defence Forces Vehicles for Ukraine Handover in Poland

The package is financed through the EU peace facility to sustain support without eroding Irish readiness.

Overview

  • The consignment reached a coordination hub in Rzeszów on 18 September for transfer to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
  • The shipment comprises ambulances, minibuses, trucks and 16 Ford Rangers previously used by the Irish military.
  • Three Reacher demining robots are being provided through the Demining Coalition within the Ramstein coordination framework.
  • Ireland plans to seek partial reimbursement of the vehicles’ value via the European Peace Facility.
  • Officials say the Defence Forces are replacing the donated vehicles, with no expected impact on operational capacity.
