KATHMANDU: A total of 303 Nepali nationals have fled Ukraine for safe places since the Russian aggression began.

According to Sewa Lamsal, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a total of 303 Nepalis have left Ukraine as of Tuesday evening.

Out of 303 people, the most of Nepalis (232) have reached Poland, 39 in Slovakia, 23 in Romania and nine in Hungary, informed Lamsal.
