Already 8,000 Poles

- We have exceptionally persistently, loudly, and firmly advised against visits to and through the Middle East. Secondly, to receive information, you need to register in the Odyseusz database - said Radosław Sikorski in an interview with Dominika Wielowieyska on „Poranek TOK FM”.

- Now we are finishing, the peak of evacuations is right now, and these are already thousands of our compatriots. I have precise data as of this morning - it's already about 8,000 people who have left, both through commercial flights and as a result of evacuation via Oman and via Saudi Arabia - he continued.

- More evacuation flights today, others on Wednesday, perhaps already within the EU mechanism, because of course, initially, preference was given to our citizens, but the EU mechanism encourages taking on board other European Union citizens as well - he continued.
