The Chinese embassy in Kiev issued a notice on Feb 24 in preparation for the evacuation of Chinese nationals from Ukraine.

Given the rapidly deteriorating situation in Ukraine, Chinese nationals and companies are facing high security risks. For this reason, the embassy is preparing charter flights and is asking all Chinese nationals to voluntarily register their information.

The charter flights will be dispatched according to the safety situation and will be notified in advance, the embassy said.

The embassy also asked all Chinese nationals to monitor the evolution of the situation. If they have to travel long distances, they should make sure gas stations are open along the route so that they can refuel their vehicles. The statement also reminded Chinese nationals to put a Chinese national flag on their cars.
