Maldivians residing in Ukraine are safe, says Foreign Ministry

The 60 Maldivian students residing in Ukraine are safe and well, revealed Ministry of Foreign Affairs today.

The Ministry is regularly checking their status, including the situation of the two students staying in Crimea, said Mohamed Niushad, the Ministry’s Assistant Director.

“We have the mobile numbers of all 60 students. We are calling them one at a time and we intend to continue checking their status at least twice a day.

“There are two Maldivians in Crimea. They will move to Kharkiv today, along with other foreign students in Crimea,” Niushad said.

In a travel advisory issued yesterday (Monday), Foreign Ministry called on all Maldivians residing and traveling in and around Ukraine to urgently register at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Foreign Ministry said they have discussed the possibility of bringing the students back home, if the situation in Ukraine continues to deepen.
