The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 28th that it has decided to provide assistance to help the Ukrainian government, its people, and refugees who are in serious crisis due to the illegal invasion of Russia.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “This support will be provided promptly through consultations with governments of Ukraine and neighboring countries and international organizations.”
“We hope that the government’s support will be of practical help to the people of Ukraine and refugees,” he added.
President Moon Jae-in, during a staff meeting on the morning of the same day, ordered that the country seek humanitarian aid promptly for Ukraine, which has been invaded by Russia.
