After the members of the second convoy crossed the border into Poland early this morning, and after meeting up with the first convoy that reached Krakow last night, the evacuated Spaniards will all board a plane that will land early tomorrow morning (Monday) in Madrid.
Around 140 people will travel on this plane chartered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs early tomorrow morning, which will include all those people who expressed their intention to the Spanish Embassy to leave the country but who had remained in Ukraine after the recommendation to leave the country.
The Spanish Ambassador, along with the Consul-General and a team of GEOs deployed for security operations who travelled in the second convoy, will remain in Poland to continue to provide the necessary attention to those Spaniards who are still in the region.
For the 100 or so Spaniards who opted to stay in Ukraine, the Crisis Room of the Consular Emergency Division will remain open, which has been reinforced with some ten more diplomats, who will attend to the phone lines enabled 24 hours a day with the phone number +34910001249.
In addition, the central services of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation will provide continuous updates on the situation of Spaniards who have not chosen to be evacuated so that, if they request this at some point and the circumstances make travel possible, they can be offered alternatives to leave the country.
