The United States thanked Ukraine for its assistance in evacuating people from Afghanistan.
UA reports this with reference to the Twitter of the US Embassy.
“Grateful to our generous Ukrainian partners for evacuating at-risk Afghans, civil society, and reporters alongside its citizens. Tireless teams at Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry and US Embassy in Kyiv are working together nonstop to airlift more” – the August 24 statement said.
To remind, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied information on capture of the Ukrainian plane in Kabul.
Besides, on August 18 the Ukrainian plane departed to the Kabul airport to evacuate 150 citizens of Ukraine.
On August 17, 120 Ukrainians appealed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to leave Afghanistan, which was under the control of the Taliban. There is a plane at Kabul airport that is supposed to take Ukrainian citizens out, but it cannot take off due to a ban on flights for civilian aircraft.
