Kuleba reaches out by phone to one of 12 Ukrainians blocked at base outside Kabul
18 of August 2021 г.
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine during a phone call with one of the 12 Ukrainians trapped at a military base near Kabul, agreed to coordinate actions for their safe return to Ukraine.
Kuleba has made the relevant statement via Facebook, Ukrinform reports.
"I just spoke on the phone with one of our 12 citizens staying at a military base outside Kabul. We had a friendly and informative conversation about the situation and how to get our people home. For security reasons, we agreed that the guy’s name is not revealed. ‘I am proud of my country,’ he told me. We have agreed to fully coordinate our joint actions," the minister wrote.
The top diplomat added that the extremely difficult situation in Afghanistan requires just that – calm and coordination. He also refuted false allegations claiming that "Ukraine abandoned 12 servicemen at a base in Afghanistan."
That they were “abandoned” is a lie. They have been in touch since the onset of crisis and have constant support from our Embassy in Tajikistan.
That everyone was evacuated, while only Ukrainians remained is a lie. Hundreds of people, citizens of many states are on that base. Ukrainians are doing a great job. They prove themselves as organized and disciplined leaders. It is impossible to just go and leave the base. They need a corridor. And this is a separate issue.
That our men are being threatened is a lie. So far, there has been no direct threat to the lives and security of our citizens. This issue is under special control. There is a calm negotiation process underway on finding the ways out, without conflicts or any intimidation.
That these are our servicemen in Afghanistan is a lie. They are former servicemen, but are based in Kabul as individuals under an international contract with a UN subcontractor. Therefore, I ask the media and people on social networks to not be provoked and to not circulate disinformation about "servicemen."
