“By the way, we have already thought for ourselves, maybe it is the Anglo-Saxons who are preparing something if they evacuate their employees.
We also looked at their actions and, probably, we will also advise non-essential personnel of our diplomatic institutions to go home for a while, ”Lavrov said.
He added that he did not know what ideas the Anglo-Saxon colleagues had.
Earlier, Lavrov noted that the West, announcing the evacuation of diplomats from Kiev, is whipping up hysteria around Ukraine.
On January 22, the British Foreign Office recommended that citizens of the country refrain from traveling to Ukraine.
Also, British citizens are advised to notify the consular services of their stay on the territory of Ukraine.
The department warns of the likelihood of "rapid developments in Ukraine."
