"In the context created by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the application of the international sanctions pronounced against this country, it is necessary to show increased vigilance", let it be known this Thursday morning the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its website.

As a result, France "strongly" recommends that its nationals "whose presence and that of their family is not essential in Russia" to leave the country.

The ministry refers to the website of the French embassy in Russia to find a "non-exhaustive list of indirect connections allowing to return to France" after "the closure of the airspace between Russia and the member states of the European Union ".

“Defer all travel to Russia”

 “We know that there are far fewer air connections.

We think that people who do not have an absolutely essential reason to stay in Russia should choose to leave, ”commented a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Paris also calls on its nationals to "defer any travel to Russia".

This announcement is part of a reassessment of the situation by French diplomacy.

On Sunday, Paris had recommended that only "French people passing through Russia" leave the country.
