Reopens the Cyprus Embassy in Kiev almost two months after the outbreak of the war which forced almost all countries to suspend the operation of their consulates due to the increased risk.
More specifically, from today the gradual reopening of the Embassy in the Ukrainian capital will begin, following the line of other countries after the encouragement of the EU.
As Foreign Ministry spokesman Dimitris Demetriou explained to the Cyprus Times, conditions seem to allow a return to diplomatic normality despite the fact that the climate remains tense in the region.
In addition, the shift in hostilities to the east, specifically in the Donbas region, played a decisive role, he noted. Kiev at the moment seems to be safer for reopening services and some operations.
Demetriou noted that the situation is constantly monitored and if it becomes necessary due to the circumstances then the Ministry has a plan to stop the operation of the consulate again.
The Foreign Ministry's statement:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs that as of Tuesday 3 May 2022, the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Kiev will begin to gradually reopen.
However, the Foreign Ministry's travel directive[/B] issued on 15 February, according to which the Foreign Ministry advises Cypriot citizens to avoid travelling to Ukraine, remains in force.
In addition, citizens of the Republic of Cyprus who permanently and/or temporarily reside
in Ukraine, are advised to leave the country.
