The Farnesina invites the Italians to leave Ukraine, while the tension over the crisis with Russia rises. “In consideration of the current situation, as a precaution, fellow countrymen are invited to temporarily leave the country with the commercial means available”, advises the Farnesina Crisis Unit on the Viaggiare Sicuri website. “Considering also the uncertain situation at the borders, it is recommended to postpone all non-essential trips to Ukraine and to keep constantly updated on the media and on this site”, reads the update just published. We also remind you that trips “for any reason” in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and in the Crimea are “not recommended”, while if present in the country, as already recommended in recent weeks, you are invited to register on the website www.dovesiamonelmondo.it and download the “Crisis Unit” APP. During the coordination meeting on the situation in Ukraine chaired at the Farnesina by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Luigi Di Maio, it was also decided – in agreement with the EU embassies European Union present in the country – to bring back non-essential personnel from our diplomatic headquarters in Kiev, which will remain fully operational in any case.
