I know that Ukraine really needs support now, he shared.
So I don’t feel sorry for this money, even though I spent everything I had.
This isn’t Kleine’s first experience in Ukraine.
When Putin’s forces invaded in February 2022, Kleine knew that he had to help once again.
At home in Germany, I sheltered women from Ukraine.
There was even a pregnant woman among them, Kleine recalled.
It’s terrible when people are forced to leave their homes to escape the war.
An 82-year-old retired German doctor spent this live savings to buy and deliver an ambulance to Ukraine.
82-year-old German Reinhard Kleine spent all his savings, 25,000, on an ambulance for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
He drove the vehicle from Berlin to Kyiv himself.
