9,000 Ukrainians lost their foreign passports abroad in six months
In this regard, the Foreign Ministry strongly recommends Ukrainians be careful and prudent when traveling abroad, and also, just in case, make copies of their passports, which will speed up the issuance of identity documents for returning home in case of passport loss.
In addition, Voloshin informed that from the consular fund of the Foreign Ministry, about $34,000 in financial assistance was paid to 120 Ukrainian citizens who found themselves in difficult situations abroad. «214 Ukrainian citizens were helped to recover unpaid wages from dishonest employers totaling $680,000», he said.
Voloshin added that to date, the foreign ministry has managed to fine-tune the mechanism of effective assistance to Ukrainian citizens who have been deceived abroad by their employers, reports «Interfax-Ukraine».
