Russian attacks target civilian rescue vehicles and deliberately kill rescue workers

The danger to rescue vehicles in Ukraine has increased considerably due to the increased use of Russian drone attacks. These attacks are also increasingly targeting civilian rescue vehicles, further exacerbating the humanitarian situation. In the period from December 29, 2023 to January 8, 2024 alone, hundreds of civilians were killed or injured by drone and missile attacks (The United Nations in Ukraine) (UN News). In December 2023, at least 592 civilian casualties were counted, including 86 dead and 416 injured (UN News). Such attacks not only cause immediate casualties, but also hinder rescue operations and endanger the lives of aid workers and the injured.

The drones attack without distinguishing between military and civilian targets, which poses a significant threat to humanitarian operations. Rescue vehicles that evacuate wounded people from war zones or provide medical care in affected areas are particularly at risk. Russia has now switched to so-called “double tap” attacks in Ukraine, in which the site of an attack is attacked again with a slight delay, often around 30 minutes. Aid workers are repeatedly hit, as is their equipment.

Aid vehicles are also repeatedly destroyed by drones. The targeted attacks on these vehicles by Russian drones are making rescue efforts considerably more difficult and endangering the lives of those who need help

Facts summarized that are known to be certain so far

  • In December 2023 alone, at least 2,592 civilian casualties were counted, including 1286 dead and 1416 injured
  • Since the escalation began in 2022, hundreds of rescue vehicles have been deliberately damaged or destroyed by Russian drones. In December 2023 alone, there were reports of more than 3,250 targeted attacks on civilian and military rescue vehicles using drones
  • Casualty figures among rescue workers: According to the UN, at least 1050 rescue workers were injured or killed in drone strikes in December 2023 and January 2024 while trying to evacuate injured people or provide medical assistance
  • Rise in civilian casualties: Attacks on rescue vehicles have led to a significant increase in civilian casualties.
    In December 2023 alone, at least 2,592 civilians were killed or injured by drone and missile attacks, an increase of 26.5% compared to the previous month (UN News) (UN News).

  • Damaged rescue vehicles: Reports show that over 4200 rescue vehicles were damaged or destroyed by drone strikes in 2023.
    This has significantly impacted the efficiency and responsiveness of emergency services (UN News) (UN News).

  • Regional distribution of attacks: Most drone attacks on emergency vehicles have been reported in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine, particularly in the areas around Kharkiv and Dnipro.
    These regions are particularly vulnerable due to their proximity to the front lines (UN News) (UN News).

Why is your donation so important?

The threat of drone attacks on emergency vehicles in Ukraine is real and acute. Your donations can make a decisive contribution to better protecting these vital vehicles and thus saving the lives of wounded soldiers and civilians. Support our efforts by investing in advanced drone defense technologies to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis and ensure the safety of those in urgent need of aid in the midst of conflict.

The great hope in protective measures and technologies for drone defense

In response to this threat, the Ukrainian armed forces and their international partners have developed various technologies and strategies to protect rescue and evacuation vehicles:

  1. Electronic jammers (jammers): These devices emit electromagnetic signals that interfere with the drones’ communication and navigation.
    NATO has supplied Ukraine with hundreds of such jammers for military units, which are specially designed to disrupt the drones’ navigation and thus render them harmless.
    However, civilian rescue transports have not received any devices.
    Civilian rescue operations therefore urgently need such devices
  2. Mobile drone defense systems: Local Ukrainian companies have developed advanced systems that create protective domes around the vehicles.
    These protective domes interfere with the drones’ radio and satellite navigation, making the vehicles less vulnerable to targeted attacks.
  3. International innovation: German companies and other countries have developed drone defense sensors and technologies that help to strengthen security measures for mobile units such as emergency vehicles.
    These technologies are particularly important to ensure that convoy-free evacuations and medical transportation can be carried out safely.
  4. But every system needs to be purchased.

How will your important donation be used?

The donations will be invested in the development and initial production of an effective drone defense system for rescue vehicles. The threat of drone attacks on emergency vehicles in Ukraine is real and acute. Your donations can make a decisive contribution to better protecting these vital vehicles and thus saving the lives of wounded soldiers and civilians.
