In the midst of rising geopolitical tensions, the foreign ministry announced Saturday that three personnel will be sent to the South Korean Embassy in Ukraine to create contingency preparations for Korean people in the country.

The decision was made after Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong met virtually with the heads of South Korea's diplomatic missions in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries the day before, amid rising tensions between Moscow and Kyiv.

The Korean embassy in Ukraine also intends to hold discussions with Korean citizens and businesses, as well as update information on modes of transportation and land evacuation routes on its website. South Koreans in Ukraine have been encouraged to flee to safer areas in the near future, but international flights continue to operate normally from seven airports in six cities.

Around 440 Koreans are now residing in Ukraine, most of them are based in Kyiv, the capital, and other cities in the country's interior. The ministry encouraged Korean nationals in 15 southern, eastern, and northern areas of Ukraine to leave the country as soon as possible due to the increasing possibility of Russian military intervention earlier this week.
