"In the context of ensuring the evacuation of Ukrainian citizens from Syria, we state that six Ukrainian citizens are to be sent home on May 21 this year on a flight of Ukrainian Mediterranean Airlines on the Beirut-Kyiv route," Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebyinis said at a briefing on Tuesday.
