Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said five Bangladeshi nationals who had been arrested in Ukraine for not having any valid passport/visas are currently in a Ukraine detention center.
Regarding the video posted by five Bangladeshis, the Foreign Minister said they are collecting the information.
“So far what we came to know is that they went to Russia to watch the game and had planned to go somewhere else from Russia,” Dr Momen said, adding that they were detained by the Ukraine government as illegal migrants, subsequently kept in detention center.
“They’re still there (detention Centre). We’re trying to get more information. We’ll begin our efforts to bring them back once we get more information,” said the Foreign Minister.
On Saturday, the Foreign Minister said they came to know about them after watching the video.
“We’ve talked to our Ambassador who is in charge. We’re trying to get their information and securitising their statements as they claimed they are kept forcibly there by the Ukrainian government as human shield,” Dr Momen said.
