Morocco’s embassy in Kyiv has called on all Moroccan nationals living in Ukraine to observe safety measures issued by the competent Ukrainian authorities, adding that it is undertaking efforts to ease the transit process of those who wish to leave the country in safe conditions.
“Given the developments in Ukraine, and following its statement issued on February 12, 2022, the embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in Kiev calls on all Moroccan nationals who chose to stay on Ukrainian soil, to observe safety measures issued by the relevant Ukrainian authorities,” the diplomatic representation points out Friday in a statement.
The embassy calls on Moroccan citizens in Ukraine not to leave their places of residence except in cases of extreme necessity, to keep their identification documents and to maintain regular contact with the embassy as well as with the crisis cell set-up for this purpose.
Regarding citizens who decided to leave the county, the Kingdom’s embassy, in close coordination with the Moroccan embassies in neighboring countries, is facilitating the transit process for Moroccan nationals from Ukraine in safe conditions, the statement points out.
