“We received the vehicle from the organization Driving Ukraine, with funds helped to be raised by Dua Lipa and her organization Service95,” Koval told Kyiv Post.
Driving Ukraine has been supplying vehicles to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, refurbishing and delivering ambulances and transport vehicles for frontline units.
Koval said the pickup was funded through a private charity event hosted by the singer in March, where money was raised to buy vehicles for Ukrainian medics.
One of those vehicles has now been delivered to the battalion.
Dua Lipa has expanded her charity work through her Service95 platform, supporting international relief efforts.
Recent projects include backing the women-led Convoy 55 initiative and her Sunny Hill Foundation, which funds social programs in Kosovo.
