Ukrainian Anastasiia Zinchenko did not evacuate with other citizens of Ukraine from Chinese city Wuhan as he could not take a dog. She failed to find a veterinary clinic in Wuhan for the procession of the necessary package of documents for dog Misha as Ukraines Embassy to China reported on Facebook.

Amid big and small victories in the result of round-the-clock work of our diplomats on the organization of the evacuation of our citizens from Hubei province covered by a virus, despite the real sincere desire to help each and everyone, the desirable result was achieved not everywhere. As a consequence, a few-weeks fight against bureaucracy was unsuccessful and Nastia Zinchenko had to stay in China along with her pet, pomeranian Misha, the embassy reported.

Thus, the citizen of Ukraine was not allowed to leave with the dog due to the inconsistencies in the dogs documents. It is noted that firstly, there were no documents from the veterinary clinic and the Ukrainian was offered to leave the pomeranian in the pet hotel and evacuate. However, the girl refused from such a variant.

Later, Anastasiia could get all necessary documents; however, it turned out that the certificate of animal health had to be issued in Wuhan and it was impossible.

The diplomatic establishment states that it had not been standing still and it continues to support the Ukrainian.

Earlier it was reported that four people, three citizens of Ukraine and one foreigner, were not allowed to the board of the evacuation plane.

On February 20, the Boeing 737-800 landed in Kharkiv city. It carried the Ukrainians who were evacuated from China so as to save them from the raging coronavirus. According to Ukraine's Healthcare Ministry, none of the passengers were sick or showed any symptoms of the disease. The Interior Ministry decided that the citizens will be put on the quarantine in Novi Sanzhary, Poltava region, central Ukraine.

That evening, the buses with the evacuated passengers reached Novi Sanzhary; the enraged locals pelted them with stones, protesting against the decision to accommodate the people there. They also set a fire and tried to block the road to the sanitarium, but the police didn't let them.
