Uzbekistan has evacuated 2,374 of its citizens from Ukraine to the homeland via Poland by Uzbekistan Airways repatriation flights, the Uzbek Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
"Since the beginning of the evacuation of our citizens from Ukraine via Poland to Uzbekistan, 10 special flights have carried 2,374 people," the statement said.
More than 500 Uzbek citizens who want to fly home are still in Poland's border area, the Foreign Ministry said.
"The diplomatic missions of our country in Poland and Ukraine work around the clock. Hot meals for our citizens are provided and, if necessary, medical services are provided," the statement said.
Uzbekistan has been performing repatriation flights to evacuate its citizens from Ukraine since February 28.
The Polish authorities have allowed the evacuation of foreign nationals from Ukraine through its territory until March 15, after which the visa regime at the border will be established again, the Uzbek Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.
