Due to the conflict situation in Ukraine, many countries have now informed their citizens living in Ukraine to leave.

However, the Foreign Ministry stated that there are about 40 Sri Lankans in Ukraine at present and seven of them are students.

Accordingly, the Foreign Ministry stated that the necessary steps are being taken to evacuate the Sri Lankans in the event of an emergency.

More than a dozen countries have urged their citizens to leave Ukraine amid warnings from Western powers that an invasion by Russia could be imminent.
