The Canadian government has updated its advice for anyone considering travelling to Russia.
In a new post on the government’s website, it says all travel to Russia should be avoided, and any Canadians who are already there “should leave while commercial means are still available.”
The post says the advice is “due to the impacts of the armed conflict with Ukraine, including limited flight options and restrictions on financial transactions.”
