The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has refuted reports by several media outlets that among the dead and injured as a result of the flood on the border between Nepal and Tibet there are Ukrainian nationals. At the same time, the MFA acknowledges that contact has been lost with several of our fellow citizens. This was reported by the MFA's press service.
As noted by the foreign policy agency, the Ukrainian embassies in India and China quickly contacted the competent authorities to inquire about the possible presence of Ukrainian citizens among those affected by the landslides on the border between Tibet and Nepal. Currently, there is no information about Ukrainian citizens among the deceased or injured.
- At present, two inquiries have been received on the MFA hotlines: one about a possible disappearance of a Ukrainian woman in the specified area, the other about the loss of contact with a Ukrainian man. Both inquiries are being processed promptly. The MFA, the Consular Service Department, and the Ukrainian embassies in India and the PRC are monitoring the situation and developing appropriate recommendations for Ukrainians in the region, which will be posted on the websites of the diplomatic missions.
