[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyunjung] The UK announced on the 27th (local time) that it will provide an additional $53 million (approximately 63.8 billion KRW) in humanitarian aid to Ukraine, CNN reported.

This additional support was decided after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson discussed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and held a meeting with Ukrainian community leaders in London last weekend.

The UK stated that "aid agencies will help create a lifeline for Ukrainians to access basic essentials and medical supplies such as medicines, syringes, dressings, and wound care packs in response to the worsening humanitarian situation." Earlier, President Zelensky told Prime Minister Johnson that "humanitarian aid is urgently needed as people are forced to leave their homes and seek safety."

Amid growing concerns among Ukrainians residing in the UK, Johnson recently said, "Anyone settled in the UK will be able to bring their immediate Ukrainian family members here." In a statement, Johnson added, "The UK will not turn its back on Ukraine's emergency," and noted that "the total amount of aid promised by the UK government to Ukraine this year reaches approximately ?186 million."
