Foreign
Minister Dr A K Abdul Momen today confirmed that 28 stranded sailors of the
Bangladeshi ship named 'Banglar Samriddhi' have been safely evacuated to
Romania from war-torn Ukraine.
"We
evacuated our 28 stranded Bangladeshi sailors to Romania and they will return
home soon," he told reporters after a programme at Jatiya Press Club here.
In a reply about the Indian government's collaboration on the evacuation process of Bangladeshi nationals, the foreign minister said: "We are continuously discussing with the Indian government and they (India) are helping us to evacuate our people from the war zone."
The
ship stranded at a Ukrainian port came under a missile attack on Wednesday
leaving one Bangladeshi sailor dead.
After
the attack, the foreign ministry through the Bangladesh embassy in Poland arranged
the evacuation of the stranded sailors from the ship to a safer place in
Ukraine with the support of local authorities.
Russia
said it regretted the death of a sailor onboard a Bangladeshi ship in Ukraine
amid the armed conflict there and assured Dhaka of making "every
effort" to ensure the ship's safe departure of the vessel.
"We
express deep condolences to the near and dear ones of the deceased," the
Russian embassy said in a statement.
Without
elaboration, the statement said the "circumstances of the incident are
being established" as Bangladeshi sailor Hadisur Rahman, the third
engineer of MV Banglar Samriddhi, was killed as the vessel was anchored at
Ukraine's Olvia Port.
