According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan, as of 7 March at 07:00, a total of 17,152 citizens have been returned to the country. This figure was announced by the ministry and reflects the ongoing extensive measures for the repatriation of compatriots.

The ministry's press service emphasized that the work to return citizens to Uzbekistan is being carried out systematically and in stages. This process is mainly conducted through countries whose airspace remains open for civil aviation, which is a crucial factor in ensuring logistics and safety.

The repatriated citizens were evacuated from the following states, but the ministry did not publish a specific list of countries. This situation may indicate the presence of difficulties and limitations in the repatriation efforts, as some countries might have closed their airspace or imposed restrictions.

In the ministry's statement, it was noted that the repatriation work is ongoing and more citizens are planned to be returned in the future. However, no information was provided on the exact timelines of this process or additional measures, which could lead to uncertainty regarding the status of compatriots and their return possibilities.
