Ukrainian embassy staff in Moscow leaving for Latvia

The Ukrainian embassy in Moscow is evacuating to Latvia, Reuters reports citing the Latvian foreign ministry.

“It was their plea, we readily agreed. We are assisting them in the process and help with settling down,” says Latvian foreign ministry spokesperson Jānis Beķeris, according to the report.

It is not immediately clear whether the embassy staff have already arrived in Latvia.

Reuters reports that the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow has been the site of low-key anti-war protests in the last few days.
