PUTRAJAYA, Feb 14  — The Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra) is closely monitoring the developments in and around Ukraine, especially on the situation of Malaysian nationals in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ministry in a statement Monday said 20 Malaysians have registered with Malaysia\u2019s Embassy in Kyiv including nine staff members of the embassy and their dependents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe embassy is in close contact with the rest of the Malaysians as well, including two students to ensure their safety, and provide consular assistance if required,\u201d<\/em> it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisma Putra strongly urges any other Malaysians currently in Ukraine, but have yet to register to immediately contact and register with the embassy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will facilitate the embassy to extend consular assistance once they are in need of such assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll Malaysians in Ukraine are advised to give utmost attention to their safety and wellbeing, as well as to adhere to instructions issued by local authorities,\u201d<\/em> it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malaysians requiring consular assistance in Ukraine are urged to contact Malaysia\u2019s Embassy in Kyiv at +380 442 855 271 or +380 988 387 885 (after working hours) or e-mail to mwkiev@kln.gov.my<\/a> \/ malaysia@embkiev.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine has been plagued by conflict in its eastern regions since March 2014, following Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moscow recently amassed more than 100,000 troops near Ukraine, prompting fears that the Kremlin could be planning another military offensive against its former Soviet neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia has denied that it is preparing to invade and accused Western countries of undermining its security through NATO\u2019s expansion towards its borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kremlin also issued a list of security demands to the West, including a rollback of troop deployments from some ex-Soviet states and guarantees that Ukraine and Georgia would not join NATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
