In his most recent update, he said 10 were in Poland, 20 in Hungary, 12 in Slovakia and six still in Ukraine.Speaking to eNCA, Groenewald said he was travelling with his wife and three sons in a motor convoy.“As diplomatic communities in Kyiv, we are opening a humanitarian corridor to move out of the city,” he said.“We have moved out of Kyiv. It is too dangerous in Kyiv. Our idea was to move to Moldova or Romania. We are now considering looking at other options.
