The train, which carried the fellow citizens, is already in Polish territory, having entered through the Dorohusk border checkpoint at 4:00 p.m. (local time).
Upon arrival in Warsaw, the Embassy of Peru will provide accommodation and food to the fellow citizens. This group of compatriots joins the 7 nationals who have already managed to leave Ukraine.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs appreciates the support provided at all times by the
Ministry of Defense —a sector that responded expeditiously to the request to enable an aircraft for the repatriation of Peruvians and that, in coordination with the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, obtained the overflight permits for 12 airspaces of third countries, according to its route plan.
4. The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its consular missions, remains in permanent contact with displaced fellow nationals so as to guarantee their safety and integrity, and in response to the evolution of the security-related situation in the area, which is highly volatile and changing.
5. Moreover, permanent coordination is maintained with other Ministries of Foreign Affairs in the region to join efforts aimed at the repatriation of our compatriots.
