(VOV) – Since bloody clashes broke out in Eastern Ukraine, hundreds of Vietnamese nationals have been forced to evacuate to other localities for safety reasons.
The prolonged political turmoil has created a number of difficulties for Overseas Vietnamese (OVs) and many of them remain stranded in danger areas. Protecting citizens is the top priority of the Vietnamese Embassy in Ukraine.
Around 300 OVs are living and working in Donbass – an area where the fighting is intense. Over the past two months, half of them have evacuated to Odessa and Kharkov, while some have returned to the homeland.
However, more than 60 households in Donetsk and neighbouring areas are still in imminent danger.
An Embassy staff Nguyen Phuong Thao said over the past two months, OVs have been forced to leave their homes to seek refuge, and the embassy has implemented a number of measures to support them.
It has sent working groups to Odessa, Kharkov, Mariupol and Donetsk to provide OVs with essential food and other things.
