Gov't approves $30 mln in humanitarian aid to Ukraine

SEOUL, June 21 (Yonhap) -- The government on Tuesday approved an additional $30 million in humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

The sum, which was approved at a Cabinet meeting, includes medical and food supplies for the war-torn country but no weapons, a presidential official told reporters.

South Korea plans to provide an additional $20 million depending on the situation in Ukraine, which would raise its total to $100 million, the official said.
