First evacuation exercise

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the first batch of Ghanaian students stranded in Ukraine following the Russian invasion, which started days ago, has safely been evacuated to neighbouring Romania.

The students, who were in Chernivtsi, were rescued as part of arrangements made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration through Ghana's Mission in Switzerland.

The Ministry on Friday night conceded that as a result of the difficulty in airlifting Ghanaian students due to a shutdown of Ukrainian airspace, arrangements were rather made for the evacuation by land through neighbouring Moldova, Belarus, Slovakia, and Hungary.
