<p>We are aware that charitable organisations in the UK have launched appeals for
donations of emergency funds and goods to provide humanitarian relief in Ukraine.
Those charities seeking to take humanitarian supplies by lorry, to Ukraine via the
European Union (EU) will need to follow the requirements for all hauliers. These requirements
will differ depending on whether the charity is using its own vehicle or is hiring
a lorry for the purpose. This can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/carry-out-international-road-haulage"

by step information for hired goods vehicles, setting out how to transport goods from
the UK by road can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/transport-goods-from-uk-by-road"

private vehicles driving through the EU can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/driving-in-the-eu"

not required to access Ukraine when using vehicles that are EURO V or above, this
will include the majority of goods vehicles including HGVs, where further advice is
required this can be provided by the International Road Haulage Permits Office (IRHP)
which is part of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).</p><p>In relation
to Ukraine, we strongly advise that all those considering making this type of trip
for humanitarian purposes, or otherwise consult the current travel advice provided
by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and published on gov.uk
for Ukraine, and any countries they propose travelling through as part of their journey.
The advice for Ukraine is published at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/ukraine"
