The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine in cooperation with other agencies continues an operation to rescue Ukrainians who found themselves in the zone of military operations in Sudan. In total, thanks to a multi-level, carefully planned operation, Ukraine has already evacuated 91 citizens from Sudan, the spokesman for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Oleg Nikolenko, said.
“Over April 24-26, diplomats evacuated three groups of citizens: 83 Ukrainians and 4 Sudanese – members of their families, as well as 51 foreigners (citizens of Georgia, Peru, Canada and St. Kitts and Nevis). Sixty-four have expressed a desire to return to their home country. They are expected to arrive today by charter flight to Poland and will be delivered to Ukraine. Another group of five Ukrainians was evacuated to Egypt by bus this morning. They are now safe. Another three citizens were evacuated in coordination with the German government,” Nikolenko wrote on Facebook.
He noted that the Ministry continues to monitor the security situation and take measures to ensure the safety of Ukrainian citizens in Sudan. In case they wish to evacuate, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ukrainian Embassy in Egypt will provide them with maximum assistance.
