Over 3000 sandbags have been donated to Ukraine from Falkirk Council.
It's hoped the supplies will help protect monuments and cultural sites within the capital city.
The mercy mission came after an appeal to the City of Edinburgh from its twin city of Kyiv.
They are now on their way to Kyiv by train.
Dorothy Reid, Roads and Grounds Manager for Falkirk Council, said: “It was a very straight forward request that we knew could help the aid operation in Ukraine. There’s already a massive humanitarian effort going on however, this seemed something that was a bit different, and we were really happy to offer a hand with.
"We hope that some of the city’s historic landmarks can be protected with the sandbags and our small donation helps Kyiv and its citizens maintain its cultural identity.”
