The main task of the Ukrainian consul is to help Ukrainians who are outside our country, to ensure their rights and legitimate interests. At the same time, special attention must be paid to vulnerable categories of citizens who were forced to leave Ukraine and seek temporary protection abroad as a result of russia’s aggression against our state.
