Due to the war in Ukraine: France, Canada and the United States called for citizens to leave Belarus and the Russian Federation urgently

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Western countries, it is believed that, while in Russia and Belarus, you can be at risk of detention and forced mobilization. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs called for its citizens to leave the territory of Belarus immediately as a result of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. French diplomats were published on the website of the agencies on Monday, February 13.

"In the face of Russia's armed offensive on Ukraine and the closure of the Belarusian airspace, any trips to Belarus are not formally approved," the Foreign Ministry of France said. Official Paris urged immediately to leave the republic by motor transport across the border with Lithuania, Poland or Latvia. A similar appeal was released by the Canadian Foreign Ministry.

"Avoid any trips to Belarus because of the risk of arbitrary application of local laws and armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine," the statement said. Canadian diplomats have stated that citizens should leave Belarus commercially.

On the same day, the US State Department emphasized the attention of Americans that it is dangerous to enter the Russian Federation because of a full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine, the risk of detention by Russian public services, mobilization, obstruction of departure and arbitrary application of the law in the territory of the state-aggressor. "Keep caution because of the risk of misconduct," the US foreign policy said.

In addition, the Russian propaganda med media RT reported that Brazil and Germany called to leave the territory of Belarus because of the war in Ukraine, but later the corresponding post in the "telegram"-channel was removed, Lenta reports. There is nothing to go outside the republic on the MFA's websites of the two countries. Recall that last September, the US Embassy in Moscow also recommended their citizens to immediately travel outside the Russian Federation.
