In Poland, funds have been raised for the purchase of written-off buses from the city of Kelce for the subsequent transfer of Vinnica, supported by hundreds of people, and donations have already exceeded 160,000 zlotys.
The 17-year-old buses used by the Kelce authorities were to be handed over to the Ukrainian brother city free of charge, but the local right demanded that Vinnica change the name of Bandera Street to "no Polish buses".
