Ukrainian Anastasia Zinchenko has refused to evacuate from China to Ukraine, because she was going to leave the country with his Pomeranian Michel. The responsibility for this mission shifted to Chinese power, which is not allowed to remove the pet.
Anastasia is already 3 years living in China. Specialty she’s a choreographer, he worked as a teacher at the ballet school, and also taught English in kindergarten. As a travel blogger she actively leads his page in Instagram.
At the end of December 2019 Anastasia was invited to Wuhan to work in a modeling Agency. She signed a contract and start the paperwork. But in connection with the epidemic, Chinese authorities have closed all state institutions, including the Agency that was going to be Nasty. With her terminated the contract, and she remained without documents. In this situation, she had only one option — evacuate to the program of the Ukrainian Embassy.
In Instagram Anastasia said that the Chinese Embassy were not allowed to evacuate with a dog. She began to give interviews and asked for help to the Embassy. In the end the authorities allowed the evacuation to the dog, but set a condition: all must conform to accepted sanitary standards.
Wuhan currently is a closed city, the movement of which is almost impossible. For trips require a special machine with a resolution that can be booked only through law enforcement agencies. The only vet that was able to help the girl paperwork on the dog, located in Guangzhou. Required for the flight of paper had to be transferred to Wuhan parcel.
But the employee of the Embassy of Ukraine in a telephone conversation told the girl that the dog evacuation is still not vozmozhna. He said that the Chinese side does not allow the export of the animal. Anastasia contacted the foreign Ministry and received a written response in which it was written that they have only the old set of documents and they don’t know anything about what she was able to gather all the necessary documents and send them to the Embassy.
Anastasia believes that the Ukrainian Embassy had not handed over documents to the foreign Ministry, and from his face, refused to evacuate.
She writes on her Instagram:
«Earlier they called me and claimed that the failure to blame any other people the Chinese side, but they do not. But as it turned out, they just mocked all the time on me, after receiving the documents, they will not provide.»
The girl says that she had difficulties with leaving the house, as the estate people can’t go out and go even with a pass, special documents are required to visit grocery stores.
«I don’t know where to get them, the Embassy also refused to inform on this issue. I bought near the house there is a small shop that I could and went home. How will develop this situation further, I do not know. I hope that soon all will end and goes home with Misha,» says Anastasia.
Review of Embassy of Ukraine in China
«The Chinese government has not given consent to the evacuation of a pet. Base — the Anastasia full package of required documents for the export of dogs abroad — said the diplomats on the page in Facebook. It is important to understand that the order of import and export of domestic animals from the territory of the people’s Republic of China is the sole prerogative of the competent authorities of this country.»
They added that he had applied for exceptional permission to go girl with the dog, but was refused.
Diplomats said that the girl suggested to leave the dog in the Wuhan hotel for animals and take an animal, when will the epidemic. But Anastasia refused the offer and issued in a veterinary clinic is required to export dogs to the documents, but did it in another city, so, as stated in the Embassy, they were not accepted by the Chinese authorities.
«We understand the frustration and fear on the part of Anastasia. And yet I want to believe that Anastasia recognizes that employees of the Ukrainian diplomatic mission during these difficult weeks are not sitting idly by. It is obvious that the lack of permits for the export of the animal completely ties the hands, regardless of the location of its owner, not to mention the cases when the owner is at the epicenter of the spread of a dangerous virus. In any case, I can say with certainty that the Embassy would continue to maintain contact with Anastasia and all those of our compatriots who remain in the province, and will continue, despite some places unfair charges to provide them with all necessary assistance. 24/7. This is our work», — said in a statement.
