12 crew members repatriated after one year

12 Ukrainian crewmembers of the 'Srakane' have returned home after a year of isolation in Sao Sebastiao. It had emerged in early June that the Ukrainian citizens were actually isolated in the port, did not receive a salary for almost a year and could not return to the Ukraine. Ukraine's consuls in the port immediately got into contact with the Brazilian authorities, promptly organized a visit to the ship and provided the necessary medical care to a Ukrainian citizen. All Ukrainian citizens received unpaid salaries during July and finally returned home successfully.
