"The opportunity for accelerated return to their homeland was provided to all Russian citizens who expressed a desire and applied to those who were in epidemiological isolation in Uruguay in connection with the spread of coronavirus infection," a Facebook statement said.
It is clarified that the export flight of Azur Air Airlines will follow the route "Buenos Aires - Santiago - Havana - Moscow".
“The embassy provided the Russians with all the necessary assistance in logistics, coordinating migration procedures for crossing the Uruguay-Argentine border, access to the airport, check-in, and promptly resolving all the problems that arose,” the diplomatic department noted.
