A convoy of nine Malaysian diplomats and their two dependents have managed to safely flee Ukraine.

Wisma Putra says the group, which also included one Singaporean national, crossed the border into Poland early this morning.

A dozen other Malaysians had also made it out of Ukraine in the past week, after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbour.

Meanwhile, the bi-partisan Parliamentary Select Committee for International Affairs has issued a statement condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

It says the issue will also be brought up at the next Parliament session, to discuss Malaysia’s diplomatic relationship with Russia and Ukraine in light of the latest developments.
