Zakharova: Berlin is afraid that the Germans will come to Russia and realize that they were fooled. On March 7, the German Foreign Ministry issued a press release in which the department “strongly does not recommend” that German citizens and German-Russian citizens with dual citizenship travel to Russia.

The German foreign ministry also warned citizens of the country against visiting the Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk, Voronezh and Rostov regions. The regions are in close proximity to combat areas.
