The first batch of humanitarian aid provisions sent by Taiwan to Ukraine recently arrived in the war-torn country via Poland.
The first 155 pallets of items, out of a total of 95.8 tonnes donated by Taiwan, were delivered to the Ukrainian city of Lviv on Jan. 28, including blankets, wool hats, scarves, gloves and biscuits, the Taipei Representative Office in Poland said on Friday.
The rest of the materials would be delivered in batches to cities across Ukraine according to the needs of the country, it added.
A donation ceremony on Tuesday last week in the southeastern Polish city of Rzeszow was attended by Representative to Poland Bob Chen （陳龍錦）, Polish Center for International Aid official Tomasz Lipert and Dmytro Karabchuk, founder of Ukrainian non-governmental organization ForestCom.
Through the collaboration between Taiwan, Poland and Ukraine, Taiwan wants Ukrainians to know it cares about their plight and that they are not alone, Chen said, adding that Taiwan would also assist the country with post-war reconstruction efforts.
High-capacity generators from Taiwan bought with government-donated funds were received in Kyiv in December last year, as part of an international effort to help the country battle widespread power outages due to Russian airstrikes on critical infrastructure.
Last month, the government pledged an additional US$2 million to fund more emergency electricity generation in three Ukrainian cities that have been hit particularly hard by Russia’s invasion.
