Five Bolivians who fled the war in Ukraine arrive

  Five Bolivians who fled the war in Ukraine arrived in the country on Monday.

They are David Martínez, a musician, and his family (his wife and two daughters), and Óscar Humbertovich. Martinez's family will stay in La Paz and the latter will return to Cochabamba.

"In Ukraine we had more than 70 Bolivians, when the events started to happen, we took precautions, we started to contact one by one the people we had registered, talk to them to see if they would stay or leave, 17 told us they would leave, to successfully make this departure viable, we moved our staff to Poland, where the Argentine embassy made us a space to work. There we monitored them, there was no documentation, safe-conducts have been generated", said the Chancellor Rogelio Mayta.

The data indicate that of the 17 nationals who asked to leave Ukraine, 12 chose to move to other European countries, and five decided to arrive to national territory. In the case of David, he is a musician returning after 30 years.

"To thank, this has been very difficult, everywhere we have been we have received support, everywhere they have supported us, there is a person who supported us when we left alive from Ukraine, is Alex Diaz Mamani, from the first day, to thank on behalf of our family all the Government, which does not forget their compatriots", said the musician.
