Going by the statement, President Paul Biya has ordered for immediate handling of cases involving Cameroonians stuck in Ukraine.

The Ministry of Finance according to the release, was tasked to transfer the funds needed for this operation to Cameroon’s Embassy in Germany, which could easily get access to the Ukrainian border.
