China News Service, Beijing, March 9 (Zhang Weiran and Xie Yanbing) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on March 9.
A reporter asked: It is understood that the Chinese Embassy in Ukraine said that the last group of Chinese students in Ukraine who were trapped in Sumy by the war were evacuated by bus.
Can the spokesperson confirm this?
Zhao Lijian: With the joint efforts of all parties, more than 100 Chinese students in the Sumy area have been safely evacuated from the high-risk area.
At present, the vast majority of Chinese citizens in Ukraine have been evacuated.
I once again remind the few Chinese citizens who remain in Ukraine to pay attention to safety, strengthen prevention and response preparations, and keep in touch with the Chinese embassy and consulate in Ukraine, which will continue to provide consular protection and assistance.
