Russia issued a warning to the West through the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, recommending that politicians and diplomats think carefully before traveling to Ukraine. The warning comes in a context of escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The statement was made two days after a Russian drone hit a passenger convoy, increasing tensions between Russia and Western countries that support Ukraine.
Zakharova, as spokesperson for Russian diplomacy, conveyed this message of caution as a way of pressuring Western nations that continue to send representatives to Ukrainian territory.
The warning highlights the growing danger of travel by Western political and diplomatic figures to Ukraine, at a time when Russian attacks continue to hit civilian and military targets in the country.
