Representatives of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) and their colleagues from Norway conducted joint exercises.

 “A delegation from the Ukrainian Red Cross, led by President Mykola Polishchuk, visited Norway for joint exercises and an exchange of experience with the Norwegian Red Cross,” URCS said on Facebook.

 “The representatives of the emergency response teams learned about the rescue teams' system of work and shared their experiences gained during the war in Ukraine. During the joint exercises, our specialists demonstrated their skills in search and rescue operations in mountainous terrain and participated in a real-time water rescue operation,” the message posted on Facebook reads.

The delegation also met with representatives of the Nordic Red Cross Integration Network and held important meetings, including one with Siri Hatlen, the President of the Norwegian Red Cross.
