Two massive cash transporters used to move money within the Czech Republic are being converted into ambulances for Ukraine, a spokesperson for the National Bank in Prague told dpa on Wednesday.

The 15-ton vehicles are being remade by Team4Ukraine, a Czech non-profit formed in 2014.

Due to their armour plating, the special vehicles will be used to bring wounded soldiers out of the combat zone.

In a tweet, the organization gave them the nicknames "Bonnie" and "Clyde" - after the famous U.S. bank robber duo.

The Czech Republic has taken in hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian war refugees and also supplied Kiev with weapons and aid supplies.
