Earlier it was reported that 30 Ukrainians had been stuck in Nepal. A third of them are professional climbers. While other countries were evacuating their citizens, they were still storming the foothills of Everest. They say that there were unaware of the developments because for more than two weeks they had been staying in the mountains at an altitude of more than 5 kilometers. They have only found out about quarantine upon their descent.
