As the Ministry explained, the Georgian diplomatic mission in Ukraine continues to work.

"The head and staff of the Georgian diplomatic mission in Ukraine remain on the ground. Georgian diplomats were only advised to evacuate their family members to leave the country if they wished so," the Ministry said.

To be reminded, yesterday Russia recognized the "independence" of the separatist regions of Ukraine - Donetsk and Luhansk. Due to the recent situation, a number of countries have stopped operating their own embassies in Kiev and evacuated staff.
