Foreign hospitals continue providing medical treatment for 173 Ukrainians injured during protests in Independence Square (Maidan) in central Kyiv.

Sixty-five of them are undergoing a treatment or rehabilitation courses in Poland, 31 in the Czech Republic, 23 in Slovakia, 16 in Germany, nine in Lithuania, seven in Austria, six in Latvia, five in Italy, five in Israel, five in Estonia, and one in Sweden, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebyinis said at a briefing in Kyiv on Friday.

"Seventy-three people have already returned to Ukraine after completing their treatment," he added.

Ukrainian diplomatic missions have received no complaints from the Ukrainians treated abroad, Perebyinis said. Transportation of these people is arranged through 'sanitary' flights on the aircraft of Ukraine's foreign partners. In particular, eight such flights have already been performed by Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany and Romania.

The people are also flown on regular commercial flights at the expense of a hosting party, charitable or humanitarian organizations.
