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 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. “As far as I know, the vehicle was delivered to Ukraine as part of a humanitarian convoy that also included the singer’s mother,” Koval said. 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.
