The group was to take a Ryanair flight and
land in the Kingdom late Monday, according to the ministry. The Ministry said its staff in Poland is
working to help Jordanians leave Ukraine, according to the Jordan News Agency,
Petra.
The ministry called on Jordanians in Ukraine
who decided not to leave the country to exercise the highest levels of caution
and abide by the instructions of the local authorities.
In a statement, the ministry urged those who
still have the opportunity to leave by means of safe transportation and safe
routes to do so, taking into account the volatile security situation, which
changes rapidly from one region to another.
The ministry also said that the Jordanian
embassy staff in Ukraine’s neighboring countries are still on alert to provide
any needed help.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Expatriates said Monday its staff at Warsaw Airport offered travel facilities
to 12 Jordanians and their families fleeing the conflict in Ukraine, who
boarded a commercial flight, which was expected to arrive in Amman Monday
evening.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the ministry’s
crisis cell has so far provided facilities to 1,281 Jordanian citizens and
their families for their evacuation from Ukraine, and has taken all necessary
measures and arrangements for 498 of them who were willing to return to Jordan,
the ministry said in a press release.
It said the evacuations and travel arrangements were
directly coordinated with the relevant Jordanian authorities and institutions
and the embassies concerned.
