MOSCOW, April 24. /TASS/. The Russian side is working out the issue of evacuating Russians from Sudan, taking into account all risks, Russian Ambassador to Sudan Andrey Chernovol told TASS on Monday.

When answering the question whether Moscow is preparing now for evacuation of Russians from Sudan, the Russian diplomat said that they "are working out different scenarios." He explained that the delay was due to the assessment of certain risks and threats that need to be minimized.
