"Russian Foreign Ministry Issues Travel Advisory for Russians Abroad"
The Russian Foreign Ministry has cautioned its citizens to carefully consider the risks involved when traveling abroad, particularly to "unfriendly" countries, and to exercise increased vigilance and restraint. This warning comes in response to European countries bordering Russia banning cars with Russian license plates. The ministry advises Russians to be aware that crossing the border means placing themselves under foreign jurisdiction and complying with the laws of the country they are visiting. In case of difficulties, Russian citizens are encouraged to contact the Foreign Ministry's Crisis Management Center or seek assistance from Russian-speaking lawyers listed on the ministry's website.
