Four buses are, above all, about schoolchildren: transporting pupils is what the city council names as the main purpose of the new vehicles.

This was announced by Irpin City Council.

The partnership between Irpin and Borna dates back to 2016, and over that time the two towns have run dozens of joint projects and exchanges. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Borna has become one of the community's key international partners.

The list of what the German town has previously sent to Irpin speaks for itself: generators, 74 wood-burning stoves for residents' associations, school furniture, equipment for the water utility, three fire engines, plus a scissor lift and a minibus adapted for wheelchair users.

Irpin City Council thanked its partners in Borna — with particular thanks to former mayor Simone Lüdtke and current mayor Oliver Urban for developing the partnership.
