Dmytro Ponomarenko, the Ukrainian Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, wrote a tweet, thanking Korean actress Lee Young-Ae for her generous donation to the Ukrainian people who are suffering from the Russian invasion.

Lee Young-ae (李英爱) is best known for starring in the drama Dae Jang Geum (Jewel In The Palace). She donated 100 million won (about US$83,000) to Ukraine to help victims of Russia's invasion.


Yesterday, the Ukrainian ambassador to South Korea, Dmytro Ponomarenko, took to Twitter to express his gratitude to the actress for her generous donation in light of Ukraine's recent dire circumstances.

 


Lee's letter reads:
As a family of veterans who have experienced war, I sympathise with the horrors of the current situation more than anyone else.



I dearly hope the war in Ukraine comes to an end soon and I pray for everyone's well-being and safety. To all the Ukrainian citizens who are calling for freedom and peace, I hope you do not lose your courage and hope. As a citizen of Korea who is also for peace and freedom, I would like to convey my heart through this small gift. May God always be with you.
