No Vietnamese victims of Ukraine violence
(VOV) - No Vietnamese have fallen victim to increased violence in Ukraine since the political crisis arose late last year, a conference on Vietnamese community affairs heard in Kiev on May 6.
The political instability in the country is exerting a negative impact on the living conditions of around 10,000 Vietnamese expatriates who are currently residing in such big cities as Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, and Donetsk.

Increased conflicts forced many people to stay indoors, and Vietnamese businesspeople felt the pinch of the depreciation of the local currency gripna against the US dollar.
Despite the crisis, Vietnamese people have united to support and protect each other, maintaining community affairs, said delegates at the conference hosted by the Vietnamese Embassy in Ukraine.
