GOVERNMENT on Tuesday said it had evacuated 118 Zimbabwean students from war-torn Ukraine whose air tickets were being processed to enable them to return home.

Last week, government said it was issuing clearance letters to rescue thousands of Zimbabweans caught up in the Russia-Ukraine war to ensure their safe passage to neighbouring countries.

Of the 118 students, 28 have been evacuated to Romania, 15 to Hungary, 26 to Slovakia and 49 to Poland.
