TINIYAK ni Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr. na prayoridad ng pamahalaan ang agarang pagpapauwi sa mga Pinoy na nasa Ukraine sa harap ng napipintong gera dahil sa pananakop ng Russia.
“Our chief and singular concern is to take out of harm’s way our fellow Filipinos in Ukraine and bringing them to the nearest places of safety by the fastest possible way,” sabi ni Locsin.
Patuloy ang paglala ng sitwasyon sa Ukraine dahil sa ginagawang invasion ng Russia.
“Our offer to take Filipinos in Kiev is underway and Usec Sarah Arriola is spearheading the repatriation effort for Filipinos who want to come home,” aniya.
