SULAIMANI — The Iraqi Foreign Ministry announced on Friday (February 25) it will grant entry visas to Ukrainian women married to Iraqis, as well as their children, and has also revealed the number of Iraqi students who wish to leave Ukraine.

Ministry Spokesman Ahmed al-Sahhaf said 76 Iraqi students have reached out so far to ask for repatriation from Ukraine.

He stated the ministry has asked Iraq’s embassies in Russia, Poland, Hungary and Romania to open hotlines to receive communication from those who are able to leave Ukraine to provide them with services.

Sahhaf said the Iraqi embassy in Ukraine was continuing its work to monitor the safety of the estimated 5,500 Iraqis in Ukraine, including students at 27 universities across the country.
