Description
A garage in Kyiv is giving beat-up cars a second life as battlefield-ready vehicles for the Ukrainian military, plugging a hole in supply as the war against Russia grinds on." The shop formerly specialised in collision repairs, but that changed after Russia invaded in February and volunteers reached out about preparing vehicles to send to the front. "We are not a wealthy country, and the state cannot provide all our soldiers with armoured four-wheel drive vehicles, so pickups are a compromise," Anton Senenko, one of the volunteers coordinating the effort, tells AFP.
