The material being sent includes two heavy urban fire engines from the Barcelona Fire Service, given by Port de Barcelona as part of the current agreement between both institutions; eight mobile power generators, some of them very powerful, and equipment for people with reduced mobility, provided by the Municipal Institute for People with Disabilities (IMPD).

Ongoing support since the start of the conflict

The help follows four years of continuous support since the conflict started. The City Council has so far conducted three other humanitarian missions and opened up direct collaboration with the city of Kharkiv. The resources sent previously have been used to rescue people, stabilise damaged buildings and ensure health and child protection services through various NGOs and international bodies, such as the humanitarian corridor by the Fundació del Convent de Santa Clara. This new shipment consolidates the city as a strategic technical partner for the maintenance of essential services and the future reconstruction of the country.

TMB buses in Ukraine

Municipal collaboration has also had a key role in urban mobility. In 2025, TMB sent ten 12-metre buses to Ukraine that are currently being used for school transport and transferring the injured. With this new convoy and the latest contributions (generators in February), Barcelona reaffirms its logistical capacity to respond to the urgent need of the Ukrainian population in a context or prolonged war.
