FRANKFURT, Feb 12 (Reuters) – The German Foreign Ministry issued a warning on Saturday calling on all German nationals to leave Ukraine unless there are compelling reasons.
“Germans staying there are urged to consider leaving the country,” he said on Twitter.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that in the face of the escalating crisis between Russia and Ukraine, Germany was still trying to find a diplomatic solution.
“We must be prepared for all scenarios,” she added at a press conference in Cairo.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz is due to visit Ukraine and Russia next week.
