The director general of Consular Affairs of the Foreign Ministry, Ana Laura Cachaza, confirmed that there are 32 people who managed to emigrate from Ukraine, within the framework of the invasion by Russia, thanks to the coordination of the Argentine consular network. In this sense, the official said that “so far 32 people have left in coordination with the Argentine consular network in the region. Thirty of them are Argentines with their Ukrainian relatives and they are joined by a Paraguayan who left for Romania through consular cooperation with Paraguay, who have no representation there, and a Chilean who arrived yesterday in Hungary in coordination with our embassy, “during an interview with Radio 10.
In addition, he warned that there is no precise information on the Argentines who still remain in Ukraine since the data are “very dynamic and varying”, but estimated that there would still be about 90 Argentines in Ukrainian territory. Although “there may be more and they have not yet contacted us.” In this way, he ratified that “the border crossings are complicated” because “many people are trying to leave”, so there is a great work between consulates and border authorities “to allow the orderly and safe exit of all those who are there”. Finally, he explained that argentine footballer Claudio Spinelli left Poland and said that “the important thing is that he has already left Ukraine and he is safe.” “Once he came out and we made the coordination with our embassies and the consuls, I’m not clear where they went,” he concluded.
