In a Twitter post on Tuesday morning, Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Sarah Arriola said the department helped bring home 330 Filipinos and 52 have been evacuated from Ukraine.

 

The department on March 7 raised an Alert Level 4 in Ukraine due to the attacks of neighboring Russia. The crisis alert level also gave way for a mandatory evacuation of Filipinos living in Ukraine, done at the expense of the Philippine government.
