“Currently, Russia plans to organize special flights for the evacuation of its citizens from Uzbekistan. For this, the embassy will create the list of Russian citizens wishing to leave the republic,” the diplomatic mission of the Russian Federation in Tashkent announced.

They note that everyone who wants to leave the country should fill out a questionnaire on the e-mail of the embassy and send it to the consular department.
