Egypt's embassy in Kiev has urged Egyptians who seek to study in Ukraine to be careful in their pursuit to apply for universities in the Eastern Europe country after some nationals were asked to pay huge amounts of money to unknown people.

The embassy called on the Egyptian students to seek advice from the Ukrainian embassy in Cairo before dealing with universities or people in the country, Egypt's Foreign Ministry said.

The embassy is ready to consider any consulate activities from inside Ukraine or from Egypt, the ministry added.

Also, all Egyptians were advised to visit the embassy once they arrive in Kiev for study, business, tourism or for any other reason, the ministry added.
