FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Germany’s foreign minister issued a warning on Saturday calling on all German nationals to leave Ukraine unless there are compelling reasons.
“The Germans staying there are taken to consider leaving the country,” he said on Twitter.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that as the crisis between Russia and Ukraine escalated, Germany was still trying to find a diplomatic solution.
“We have to 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.
