Further support is being offered to the group by theembassy, the associations of overseas Vietnamese and Vietnamese students inHungary.

Earlier, Ambassador Nguyen Thi Bich Thao directed theestablishment of a committee in charge of assisting those evacuated from Ukraine and the legal-informationand logistics working groups, which are responsible for updating and publishingnotices on entry and stay regulations as well as arranging transport, accommodationand neccessities for the evacuees.

According to Thao, so far there is no plan to organise repatriationflights for Vietnamese fleeing to Hungary, as most of them want to take temporary shelters and wait to return to Ukraine if progress is seen in the negotiation results or the situation gets better. They used to live and dobusiness stably in Ukraine, with only a few of them wishing to go to anotherEU nations such as Germany, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic.
