Zimbabwe has evacuated 118 students from Ukraine to safer places following an ongoing military operation in that country and will provide them with air tickets for their return home.
This is according to Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa during a post-Cabinet briefing on Wednesday.
Zimbabwean embassies in Russia and Germany are facilitating the evacuation exercise in Ukraine after an outbreak of war with Moscow.
The Minister Mutsvangwa gave a breakdown of the 118 students who have been relocated to the following safer places; Romania 28, Hungary 15, Slovakia 26 and Poland 49.
She said a Mission official is currently based in Poland to assist those that need to be repatriated, adding that everyone will continue to be updated on the situation of students in Ukraine.
Last Saturday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade assured parents and stakeholders that the Government was engaged with the evacuation of its citizens from Ukraine.
All students in Ukraine were being urged to cross the border to neighbouring Poland where Government intervention was guaranteed there.
