The Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation has assured Namibians in Ukraine that government is in consultation with all stakeholders, such as NSFAF, in finding an immediate solution to ensure the safety and safe return of its citizens. According to the ministry, there are currently around 100 Namibians, including 92 students in Ukraine. MIRCO Executive Director Penda Naanda further called on Russia and Ukraine to find an amicable solution that will minimise tensions and put a halt to the current situation in Ukraine. Namibia, Naanda says, firmly believes in the principle of respect for national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with relevant international laws. It, therefore, calls on the United Nations (UN), in particular the Security Council, to work towards the peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.
