Automobile concern Koiviston Auto donated five school buses to Ukraine as part of humanitarian aid. The convoy arrived at a logistics center in Poland on the border with Ukraine on Friday.

In total, the Finnish automaker is expected to hand over to Ukraine at least fifteen buses intended primarily for school trips.. The first buses were delivered in early December.

Buses used in local traffic have recently been taken out of service due to the electrification of buses, but they still have a useful life, according to a press release from Koivisto Auto.. Buses are loaded with humanitarian aid intended for the civilian population of Ukraine, Yle reports..

The next column of buses will leave in a week.

Koivisto Auto Group includes ten bus companies, including Satakunta Liikenne.

Recall, earlier, the European Commission, as part of a solidarity action, handed over transport to Ukraine to transport schoolchildren.. As part of the initiative, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Germany and the Netherlands are transferring 120 pieces of equipment.
