In Ukraine, death rates are rising – but so are temperatures. Real estate actors Tor Fredrik Müller and Paal Christian Mowinckel tell about soldiers who struggle to transport their fallen homes in the June heat. – They are transported in vans, and the bodies decay, says Paal Christian Mowinckel. With support from Haukeland Hospital, Fjord Line and the business community, he and Müller have bought two refrigerated trucks that are filled to the brim with medical equipment that will be transported to the front lines. – We will ensure that they can transport the soldiers home in a dignified manner, says Tor Fredrik Müller. The cars are driving down Europe this week.

They say that the company they support has demanded refrigerated trucks after a station with many soldiers was attacked, and several were killed. – We have promised them to send as much as we can, he says. Müller pays for the vehicles and transport, while he himself pays for storage. Mowinckel and Müller have been raising money for Ukraine since February. In May, the two real estate players went 100,000 steps for Ukraine, and collected over one million kroner. Medical equipment on the way to Ukraine.

The cars are delivered on the border between Poland and Ukraine, or in Warsaw. According to Müller, it is completely precarious and vital equipment that is transported. It is special emergency equipment that the soldiers take with them in the field. The cars contain over a thousand varicose veins, blood bags and individual packages. – It changes what they need and where, but we have people who have a dialogue with the locals, and personnel at Haukeland who have experience with war and emergency medicine, Müller says.

The two say that because players give away goods and services, there is no money that disappears along the way. In addition to donations from the business community and private individuals, they receive good help from Haukeland University Hospital. They give away surplus material, and help determine what kind of equipment is most needed. Nothing that has expired on a date that could be useful in Ukraine should be thrown away. – We throw away so much equipment and material that is out of date at Norwegian hospitals and health stations, but these are desperate. So if bandages expire in June, it does not matter. It will be put into circulation immediately, says Jon Wigum Dahl, who is department director at the Department of International Cooperation at Haukeland University Hospital.
