Kenya on Tuesday said it had secured easier passage for nationals stranded in Ukraine, indicating partial reprieve for those struggling to exit the troubled eastern European country.

A statement issued by the Kenyan Foreign Affairs Ministry said the country had negotiated for Kenyans to be allowed to leave Ukraine and temporarily stay in any of its neighbouring EU members.
