BEIJING, 08 March 2022, (TON): Beijing’s embassy in Ukraine announced Monday that most of the approximately 6,000 Chinese nationals previously in the country had been evacuated, as Russia stepped up the shelling of multiple cities.
In the weeks leading up to the conflict, Chinese state media dismissed US warnings of an imminent Russian invasion. Unlike many Western nations, Beijing waited until after war broke out on February 24 to tell its citizens to evacuate.
The embassy said in a social media statement “at present, most Chinese compatriots in Ukraine have already been evacuated.”
At present, the tense situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate the Chinese Embassy in Ukraine solemnly reminds remaining Chinese compatriots to leave the country as soon as possible.
