What is known about the negotiations between Ukraine and Moldova regarding the return of evaders
According to Shevchenko, Kyiv is currently in dialogue with Chisinau regarding the return of Ukrainians of military age who fled to Moldova and are hiding there.
The ambassador noted that a number of evaders stopped by Moldovan border guards received asylum in this country.
A certain number are still in unclear whereabouts.
They are not detained, they probably either stay in the territory of Moldova or go to other countries. There are no exact statistics on the number of such people. When I talk to my colleagues, I say that if we cannot solve a big problem, it is better to solve smaller ones alone - what to do with people who have been refused asylum by Moldova - emphasized Shevchenko.
How Ukrainian men manage to flee en masse to Moldova
The Ukrainian diplomat emphasized that this situation must be resolved immediately.
This situation shows that there are problems that need to be solved. They do not deserve protection, but at the same time they do not want to return to Ukraine, and no one is forcing them to return. And here such nuances happen quite often. And when I talk to my colleagues, I say that if we can't solve a big problem, let's solve smaller problems separately - what to do with those people who were refused asylum by the government of Moldova, - emphasizes the ambassador of Ukraine to Moldova.
