Bangladesh Ukraine 100 Bangladeshi cross border from Ukraine
Dhaka, 26 February 2022: About 100 Bangladeshis in Ukraine have crossed the Polish border and a few have crossed the Romanian border.
Foreign Secretary Masood bin Momen told reporters on Saturday night (February 26).
"The news we have so far is that 100 Bangladeshis have crossed the border into Poland and many have contacted our mission," he said, adding that an inter-ministerial meeting would be held on Sunday. And how many people want to wait, we will prepare by clearing these issues.
"Something went wrong in Romania," Momen said. However, most of Poland seems to be crossing the border. We don't know how many there are in Ukraine, but there seem to be thousands. "
The position of Bangladesh has already been explained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "We are deeply concerned about this," he said. We want the UN Charter and the principles of that Charter to be respected. We will also address the General Debate at the UN General Assembly next Monday with the aim of immediately ending all hostility. "
He said one of the mega projects in Bangladesh is the Rooppur nuclear power plant, where Russian company Rosatom is operating. If sanctions are imposed on that company, Bangladesh will be in trouble.
Russia is facing a series of sanctions over its military operations in Ukraine, and Foreign Minister Masoud bin Momen said in a statement that "there are no sanctions against Rosatom yet." "The whole effect of sanctions on Russia is not yet clear," he said. These will be clear in the next few days. If economic transactions were to be sent through New York, they would certainly have an impact. But so far, what we are thinking is that Rooppur will not be directly affected. '
