Usage of commas again

One Ukrainian, who lives in Seoul, read out a letter from a friend back home.

"The sirens don't stop ringing, and we continue to hide in the basement."


Sometimes, I feel like I know the usage of commas but I feel like I do not know it again.


If there are no commas in the sentence, I feel like it does not make sense.

“One Ukrainian who lives in Seoul read out a letter from a friend back home.”


How do you feel about the sentence without commas?


This question is not about politics.


Thank you so much as usual and I really hope that this question is the last one about this issue.


Thank you so much again.

Hans51 How do you feel about the sentence without commas? It is perfectly fine. It means there is more than one Ukrainian who lives in Seoul, and this one read a letter.

Hans51One Ukrainian who lives in Seoul

~ One of the (many) Ukrainians who live in Seoul

Hans51One Ukrainian, who lives in Seoul,

~ One Ukrainian, who lives in Seoul — not elsewhere,

That's the difference I see, and I don't see it as a huge difference.
