Russia-Ukraine war: African students escape death after train attack

A train carrying some Ghanaian students in Ukraine allegedly got attacked by Russians but they escaped unhurt.

This was disclosed by the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa who is also the ranking member of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee.

He was speaking concerning the decision by the Government of Ghana to evacuate Ghanaian students from Ukraine.

The Government of Ghana finally decided to evacuate Ghanaian students from Ukraine to neighbouring countries – Moldova, Belarus, Slovakia and Hungary – due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“The Ministry through its Mission in Berne, Switzerland and the Honourary Consulate in Ukraine are in touch with the Ghanaian students in Ukraine through their leaders.

“A list of students has been compiled to facilitate an evacuation exercise,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration said in a statement on Friday, February 25.
