The Ethiopian Embassy in Germany on Saturday urged its citizens in Ukraine to first contact the embassy before leaving the country, a day after it encouraged them to immediately cross over into Poland.

On Friday, the embassy urged its citizens in Ukraine to immediately cross borders to Poland following Russia’s invasion, adding that it was working in collaboration with the Polish government for a safe passage for Ethiopians while it closely monitors the situation in Ukraine.
