Around 80 of the Ecuadorians who left Ukraine do not want to return to our country and ask the Government to regularize their situation in Europe.
689 Ecuadorians they left Ukraineaccording to data from the Foreign Ministry until 07:00 on March 2, 2022. Most are students From 18 to 25 years. About 100 people would be missing to evacuate.

Now, Ecuador faces an additional event: there are people who do not want to return. They are around 80.
