TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan’s food marketing and distribution firm Bramen Marketing has delivered batches of food in humanitarian aid to Ukrainian refugees suffering in the prolonged war with Russia.

Bramen Marketing, an affiliate of I-Mei Foods, decided to contribute to the international support for the war-battered country in March. With the assistance of the Taiwan Representative Office in Lithuania and the Taipei Representative Office in Poland, the company has joined hands with its Lithuania-based partner AUGA Group to arrange for the shipments of goods.

Over 41,500 packs of organic soup produced by AUGA Group have been delivered to a warehouse of the Polish Center for International Aid (PCPM) in Lviv in western Ukraine. The ready-to-eat soup, which comes in champignon, tomato, sweet corn, and minestrone vegetable flavors, has been well-received among the refugees and lauded as “a blessing to the kitchen staff” at the shelters in the conflict zone, said Tomasz Lipert, a project coordinator of PCPM.

In addition to the soup donations, Bramen Marketing and Taiwan Service Merchandise Co., a logistics business and also an affiliate of I-Mei, have procured Ukraine-themed masks in a show of support for the country.

As of May 29, over 6.8 million Ukrainians have left their homeland due to the war, according to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
