The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants announced in a statement today that it is closely following-up on the developments in Ukraine, calling on all Lebanese nationals residing there, including families and students, to take utmost care and caution.

The Ministry also provided them with a number of phone numbers to contact the Lebanese Embassy in Kiev when needed.

It is worth noting that tensions between Ukraine and Russia are escalating amid Western reports about potential Russian invasion of the Ukrainian territories. However, Moscow has always refuted such reports.
