The humanitarian team sent in April from the hospital was the first medical aid support group from Taiwan to provide assistance in Ukraine since the conflict erupted last year. Tsai added that Ukraine was the first country out of the 50 he had visited on medical missions where no one had mistaken Taiwan for Thailand. There were also young Ukrainians who used to study in Taiwan wearing self-made vests that read “Team Taiwan in Ukraine” and helping people, which Tsai said he was very moved by.
