KAMPALA, March 19 (Bernama) -- The Ugandan government will evacuate its citizens caught up in the political crisis in Ukraine, Xinhua news agency reported.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Fred Opolot said Tuesday the ministry of education planned to evacuate at least 80 citizens with the majority being students.
"Preparations are underway for the evacuation of our citizens caught up in he crisis in Ukraine if the current unrest escalates," said Opolot.
The plans come amidst growing tensions between Ukraine and Russia over Crimea, which voted overwhelmingly in the Sunday referendum to join Russia.
