Journalist Mariia Cherniakhivska stated this on Espreso TV.

"The Taiwanese government allocated $10 million in financial aid to Ukraine. With these funds, over 2,500 laptops have already been purchased, and thousands of generators will also be procured to support more than 500 Ukrainian communities. Taiwan's Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed comprehensive support for Ukraine," she stated.

Representatives of the Association of Ukrainian Cities (AUC), which will distribute the aid, attended the event. Bohdan Andriiv, Mayor of Uzhhorod and member of the AUC board, noted that the generators and computers would primarily be provided to communities most affected by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.

"Generators will be delivered to communities for use in social institutions, kindergartens, schools, and medical facilities to ensure uninterrupted operations in cities currently facing significant power outages," he said.

Additionally, another event focused on Ukraine-Taiwan cooperation took place today. A Taiwanese technology company will implement innovative Smart City 5G technologies in the city of Bucha. The project is planned for completion in the first quarter of next year.

According to Cherniakhivska, the project aims to modernize the city, making it safer and more innovative. Company representatives discussed their experience implementing 5G technologies in Taiwan, Europe, and the Americas. This will be the first project of its kind in Ukraine, and the Taiwanese are very enthusiastic about the collaboration.

Anatolii Fedoruk, the Mayor of Bucha, who attended the event, shared that the project was developed jointly: "Bucha will implement 5G, a security system, and other innovative solutions encompassing the Smart City concept. The Taiwanese side has undertaken the development of technical solutions, provided recommendations, and is fully funding the project from start to finish.”

  • Earlier, Taiwan's Deputy Foreign Minister Francois Wu said that Taiwan would not provide military assistance to Ukraine, but would like to open a representative office in Kyiv.
