The Korean Broadcasting System has delivered 100 million won worth of support funds to Russian nationals who lost their family members in the hostage-siege tragedy earlier this month in the region of Ossetia.

The funds, collected through a televised fundraising program called "Love Request", were delivered to the Russian embassy in Seoul.

Russian Ambassador to Seoul Teymuraz Ramishvili thanked South Korea on behalf of the Russian government and people for its swift and warm-hearted support.
