“Avoid non-essential travel to Ukraine due to ongoing Russian aggression and military buildup in and around the country,” the text says.
Recently, there have been allegations in Western countries, as well as in Kiev, about a possible “Russian invasion” of Ukraine, TASS reminds. The basis for such accusations were the allegations that Russia is “accumulating forces near the border with Ukraine.”
However, the press secretary of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, called such information an empty and groundless escalation of tension and has repeatedly stressed that Russia poses no threat to anyone.
