Taiwan, together with the Alliance of Polish Metropolises, has established a fund of 1 million dollars to assist Ukrainian refugees in Poland, the Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.
Taiwan's Ambassador to Poland Wu Shangnyan announced the signing of the memorandum establishing the fund together with the mayor of Bialystok, Tadeusz Truskolaski, chairman of the Alliance of Polish Metropolises, an organization that represents 12 cities in Poland and a fifth of the country's population.
The allocated funds will aim to improve the living conditions of Ukrainian refugees living in Poland, improve educational opportunities for Ukrainian children and youth, and facilitate preparations for the eventual return of refugees to Ukraine.
Polish cities that want to receive the subsidy will have to submit applications for specific projects aimed at helping Ukrainian refugees. These proposals will be considered and approved by a specially created selection committee, "Kiev Independent" reported.
Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Taiwan has provided over $40 million in funding and nearly 600 tons of humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
According to statistics compiled by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Poland has taken in nearly one million refugees fleeing Russian aggression against Ukraine. /BGNES
