Since January 2014, 18 countries have provided 164.1 million US dollars’ worth of non-lethal military aid to Ukraine, with more than 80 percent of that coming from just two countries, the United States which has given 117.6 million US dollars’ worth of supplies and Canada which has given 23.6 million.

Previously, United States has provided 30 M1114 armoured Humvee and 200 non-armoured HUMVEE M998 to the Ukrainian armed forces.

The Ambulance would consist of a standard AM General M1152 chassis equipped with the manufacturer's standard 2-door cab integrated with an armored ambulance shelter.
