Seven Panamanians  in Ukraine opt to weather the storm

Seven Panamanians in Ukraine have decided to ride out the storm of the Russian invasion while six others have been transferred to other countries Panamanian Foreign Minister, Erika Mouynes, reported on Tuesday, March 1.

The six Panamanians identified in Ukraine are out of danger, but seven others decided to remain on Ukrainian territory, where a war with Russia is currently being waged said Minister Mouynes on her Twitter account.

We have articulated with local embassies in Ukraine from other friendly countries to provide permanent support, Mouynes added.

On February 24, after speaking with the concurrent ambassador to Ukraine, Javier Bonagas, the chancellor announced that six Panamanians who were in Ukraine were out of danger.

Bonagas, ambassador of Panama in Poland, asked Panamanians who are in Ukraine to contact the diplomatic headquarters in the city of Warsaw at the telephone numbers 0048-22-642-2143 and +48-787-400-352.

Panama does not have a consulate in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, so the concurrent embassy is in Poland.
