The Philippine Embassy in Warsaw, Poland, is in contact with the Filipino community in Ukraine, working in tandem with the Honorary Consulate General in Kyiv, amid rising tensions and US warnings of a possible Russian invasion.

Gonar Musor, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Cultural Diplomacy at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), estimates that 380 Filipinos live in Ukraine.

“The majority are in Kyiv and its surrounds, far from the eastern border near Russia,” he said in a statement on Saturday.

They are “encouraged to contact the embassy, report any strange incident they may witness in their local areas, and continue monitoring their Filipino friends via social media,” according to Musor.

Since 2014, when the Eastern European nation was rocked by political turmoil and Russia invaded Crimea, Manila has enforced a deployment restriction.

Tensions rose again in the early weeks of this year after reports that Moscow had placed more than 100,000 troops and heavy weapons along Ukraine’s border, enough, according to the US, to invade the country “at any time.”

As the situation worsened, Washington, DC, and a number of other countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, South Korea, and Japan, urged their citizens to flee Ukraine as soon as possible.

The Philippines has not issued a comparable warning as of this writing.

According to a report by the Anadolu news agency, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova called the impending invasion of Ukraine a “vast disinformation effort.”

According to the United Nations (UN), more than 14,000 people have died in the eight-year conflict, including about 3,000 civilians.

Since 2014, around 1.5 million people have been internally displaced.

In a recent statement, UN Undersecretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo said, “No one is following the ongoing diplomatic efforts more than the people of Ukraine.” “They have been through a battle that has claimed the lives of nearly 14,000 people since 2014 and is regrettably still ongoing. Any fresh escalation in or around Ukraine would inevitably result in more senseless deaths and destruction.”
