The Minister of Housing, Communities and Local Government of the UK, Michael Gove, appealed to London Mayor Sadiq Khan with a request to transfer the cars to be scrapped in Ukraine. This is reported on the website of the British Parliament.

“I was very disappointed and surprised to learn that the London administration did not offer to support Ukraine by providing vehicles that would otherwise have been scrapped under the Ulez scrappage scheme,” he said.

Gove recalled that the Ulez recycling scheme was designed to improve air quality in London.

“I am confident that removing these vehicles from London’s roads, and therefore achieving the same environmental benefits while supporting Ukraine’s efforts, is better than simply scrapping them,” said the minister.

Gove expressed hope that the vehicles would still be transferred to Ukraine. “More generally, we are ready to consider all possible options to ensure that we can support Ukrainians in scrap cars of London. I am sure, like me, you want to do everything in your power to help our friend to Ukraine “, the minister wrote. .

It was previously reported that London Mayor Sadiq Khan refused to hand over the scrapped cars to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the Latvian government decided to transfer another two dozen cars to Ukraine that were confiscated from drunk drivers.
