Due to rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine, Turkey's foreign ministry has advised its people to avoid travelling to eastern Ukraine.
"Our citizens are advised not to travel to Ukraine's eastern border regions unless it is necessary," the ministry stated. The media reported. Citizens should also take all necessary precautions for their safety and inform the Turkish embassy in Kiev before making any important travel plans, according to the ministry.
President Joe Biden of the United States repeated his demand for US residents in Ukraine to evacuate the country immediately on Friday, citing heightened military threats. Turkey has lately come forward to act as a mediator between Ukraine and Russia in order to maintain peace in the region.
