State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam revealed the decision amid the ongoing crisis Bangladeshi expatriates are facing in Ukraine following Russia’s military invasion. Bangladeshis are stranded in different regions of Ukraine and are pleading to be rescued. Although there are no readily available data on how many Bangladeshis reside in Ukraine, expatriates estimate the number to be around 1,000. As Bangladesh has no embassy in Ukraine, the embassy in Poland’s capital Warsaw is overseeing the safety of the Bangladeshi citizens there. If anybody needs any assistance, we have an embassy in Warsaw and they will provide help.”
