Scores of Ghanaians are also present to welcome their relatives.
About 16 people, according to the Minister, are expected to arrive today, March 1, 2022.

The number is the first batch of Ghanaian nationals to be evacuated into the country following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which has entered day six.
Upon arrival, there will be a meeting with parents, guardians or relatives of Ghanaian Nationals in Ukraine, at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
Meanwhile, over 220 Ghanaians in Ukraine had safely exited the country as of midday of Sunday, February 27.
