The first buses from Rīga have already gone to Lviv to help take Latvian citizens out of Ukraine. A bus will depart frmo the 'Sakura' hotel in Lviv at 06:00 on February 26.
However, movement in Ukraine is very difficult due to major congestion, so Latvian citizens have to be patient.
Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkēvičs (New Unity) repeated a call for anyone else requiring evacuation to make their way immediately to Lviv.
Dārgie draugi, ja kādam ir radi, draugi, paziņas- Latvijas valstspiederīgie, kas pašlaik ir Ukrainā un vēlas no tās izbraukt, lūdzu iesakiet viņiem doties uz Ļvivu uz zemāk norādīto adresi. @Arlietas organizē evakuāciju pa sauszemes ceļu- autobusi ir ceļā.
