[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The Busan Regional Council of the National Unification Advisory Council decided on the 8th to support Ukraine with 11 million won in donations to help victims of the Ukraine war through the National Unification Advisory Council Southeastern Europe Council.

Since the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, over 850 advisory members of the Busan Regional Council of the National Unification Advisory Council have raised funds on a humanitarian basis starting from the 4th to aid war victims suffering from the conflict.

The donations, carrying hopes for the end of the war, will be delivered to the National Unification Advisory Council Southeastern Europe Council and later distributed to war victims beyond the Ukrainian border through consultations with international relief organizations on the ground in Ukraine.

Lee Young, Vice Chairman of the Busan branch of the National Unification Advisory Council, stated, “Our Republic of Korea also received emergency aid from allied countries during the Korean War in the past, so we cannot just watch the suffering of the Ukrainian people,” and explained, “The purpose of this support is to directly help many refugees gathered near the Ukrainian border who currently cannot even dare to cross the border.”

He expressed gratitude to the advisory members of the Busan Regional Council of the National Unification Advisory Council and the chairpersons of district and county councils who united their wishes for peace and opposition to the war during the fundraising campaign.
