The Panamanian embassy searches through social networks for Panamanians in the country in conflict, but there are problems with the internet connection

The Panamanian embassy in Poland requested information to find out if there are Panamanians in Ukraine, after the Russian invasion.

The news was released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and seeks to provide security to the canal workers who are in that region of active exchange of fire.

“If you are in Ukraine, we ask you to contact the Panamanian embassy in Poland, which is the concurrent embassy in Ukraine. We want to know your current situation,” it was possible to read in a message that the entity circulated through the networks social.

But the Russian invasion is already affecting the internet connection, there are more and more blackouts on the Ukrainian soil, which could make the task of the Foreign Ministry difficult.

The Panamanian embassy in Poland also has concurrence with the Republics of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova and Georgia.

 

Just this Thursday, the international news agency EFE interviewed a Panamanian in Ukraine, who is in anguish for not having the necessary means to leave the war zone.

Quoting EFE, we rescue the following text about a Panamanian in Ukraine:

Tens of thousands of Ukrainians are fleeing the advancing Russian war machine. Entire families, elderly people and foreign students, including Latin Americans, flock to the ticket offices of the train stations to leave the country.

Panamanian Garik, who works in Kiev as an English teacher, commented: “We don’t know what to do. There aren’t any train tickets and we can’t find cars, vans or taxis either. And the bombs can be heard very close.”

Today Kiev’s central station was a anthill. The passengers looked desperately at the electronic board, since the Russian tanks advance relentlessly towards the capital. Everyone fears the sudden cancellation of their train trip.

The Russian invasion also caught wandering language teachers and travelers unawares.

This is the case of Garik, who works as an English teacher, said about his mother, “poor thing, she almost died of pain.”

He is accompanied by Lucas, an Argentine who was traveling with his belongings around Europe.

“I am very surprised. I thought that this was just something political and that I was going to die there, but it continued. And now everything is starting,” he said.

Now, the goal is to leave the country: “Any country, Poland or Hungary. Whichever is closer.”
