The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the government has no workable solution as yet for Ugandans stuck in Ukraine

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the government has no workable solution as yet for Ugandans stuck in Ukraine.

The number of Ugandans stuck in Ukraine remains unknown.

In a statement dated February 28, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it is “closely following the evolving situation in Ukraine and specifically the conditions of Ugandan nationals caught up there.”

The Russia-Ukraine conflict started last week. Russian troops invaded Ukraine last Thursday with a series of strikes targeting government and military installations and a ground assault from the outskirts.

The Ugandan government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, says it is now “making all efforts possible to ameliorate their plight” and urges all Ugandans in Ukraine to remain calm, cautious and to follow the safety measures being issued by the government of Ukraine.
