Taiwan President donates one month’s salary to Ukraine

Taiwan’s three top political leaders will donate one month of their salaries to the Ukrainian war relief fund, President Tsai Ing-wen said on Wednesday.

The president, along with Vice President William Lai and Vice Premier Su Tseng-chang, will each donate the equivalent of one month’s salary to a bank account set up by Taiwanese government’s Relieve Disaster Association for humanitarian relief in Ukraine, according to Reuters.

“As a member of the global partners of democracy, Taiwan is not absent, and we fully support Ukraine,” Tsai said.

Taiwan has firmly joined international efforts to support Ukraine since the Russian invasion last week, imposing sanctions on Russia and sending 27 tons of medical supplies to Ukraine on Tuesday. Its Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also set up a dedicated bank account to receive public donations.
