Crisis in Ukraine: France and Germany call on their nationals to leave the country


“It is recommended that all French nationals whose stay in Ukraine has no compelling reason to leave the country”, underlines French diplomacy in its travel advice updated on Saturday. Those who are “in the oblasts of Kharkiv, Lugansk and Donetsk” as well as in the Dnipro region are called upon to “leave these areas without delay”, she adds.

Leave Ukraine “urgently”

Germany also called on its nationals on Saturday to leave Ukraine “urgently” because of the risk of armed conflict in the country, while the airline Lufthansa, the largest in Europe, will suspend its connections to Kiev. “We warn against any travel to Ukraine,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
