On the eve of US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, Ukraine evacuated 176 people from Israel to Egypt.
This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Ukrainian diplomats and the GUR have completed an important stage of evacuating citizens of Ukraine and partner states from the danger zone,” he explained.
It is noted that, in addition to Ukrainians, among the evacuated people were citizens of Moldova, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, and the United States.
According to the president, the evacuation process from Iran to the territory of Azerbaijan is also currently underway.
“We will respond to every request and continue evacuation measures. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and intelligence to provide all opportunities for the necessary protection of our people in the Middle East and the Gulf region,” Zelenskyy concluded.
Recall that the United States Air Force attacked Iran’s nuclear infrastructure , including the most protected facility in Fordow.
At the same time , Donald Trump’s administration is preparing for a potential response from Iran in the next 48 hours.
By the way, the Yemeni Houthis have entered the war in the Middle East and announced attacks in the Red Sea if the US intervenes in the conflict with Iran.
As it became known, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will visit Moscow to meet with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin amid US strikes on nuclear facilities.
