crossed the Siret border crossing on the Romanian-Ukrainian border on Wednesday
morning.
In a statement, the

way to the
Ukrainian city of Poltava, after the ministry made contacts with
Ukrainian authorities to set up a safe passage for them. It also stated that it
was following up on their conditions to ensure their safe arrival to Ukraine’s
neighbors.
It indicated that
35 Jordanians and their families, who had been evacuated from Slovakia, Hungary
and Romania, were to arrive in Jordan sometime on Wednesday.

military operations in Ukraine, a total of 1,164 Jordanians crossed the

Haitham Abu Alfoul, told Petra that the ministry was using all possible means
to locate the citizen, adding that no information, other than that provided by
his family, is currently available to the ministry.
