Evacuation of Chinese citizens on hold

The Chinese Embassy in Kyiv reports problems with evacuation from Ukraine. China is making efforts to bring its citizens to safety and has already organized planes for this purpose. In practice, however, escape routes are currently blocked, Ambassador Fan Xianrong said on social media. The security situation had deteriorated dramatically, making it impossible to leave the country at the moment, he said. With „missiles in the air“ and „explosions on the ground,“ regular air travel is not possible. „In the days to come, the situation is expected to deteriorate further. At present, the fierce battle between the warring sides of Ukraine and Russia is still going on, and there will be many unpredictable changes,“ Fan said.
