The war in Ukraine has attracted broad sympathy in Taiwan, with many seeing parallels between Russia's invasion and military pressure from China.
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan’s foreign minister told the mayor of Ukraine’s capital on Friday, their democracies stood on “the frontline of resisting” large authoritarian neighbors as he announced a donation of $8 million to Kyiv and Ukrainian medical institutions.
Taiwan has condemned Russia’s invasion, joined Western-led sanctions and donated $20 million for Ukrainian refugees, mostly raised from the public. China has not condemned Russia, and only donated 15 million yuan in humanitarian aid. “The Taiwanese government and people also face a high threat from the authoritarian regime across the Taiwan Strait, and therefore feel the current situation faced by Ukraine as though it is happening to ourselves,” Wu added, referring to China.Taiwan has no diplomatic relations with Ukraine, and unlike in many European capitals Taiwan does not even have a representative office in Kyiv.
