Yesterday, the first group of 40 Ukrainian teenagers and their accompanying adults who were affected by a horrific traffic accident on June 13 in France returned to Ukraine.

This was reported by the Department of Consular Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

From the moment of the accident until their return to Ukraine, our consuls in France, Austria, and the MFA representation in Uzhhorod coordinated assistance: they stayed in touch with hospitals, organized logistics, and provided support and guidance at every stage.

The children and adults traveled home by train: from Paris to Vienna to Chop to Chernivtsi.

This was made possible thanks to the coordinated efforts of many services and individuals.
