The State Emergency Service of Ukraine has received another batch of engineering equipment from the Republic of Korea, the press service of the State Emergency Service reports.
"The batch includes dump trucks and bulldozers, which will enhance the ability of rescuers to eliminate the consequences of emergency situations. Representatives of the State Emergency Service units have already received the keys and have been trained in using the equipment," the message posted on the Telegram channel says.
