According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, relations between Russia and Western countries are very tense. Especially relations with the United States are in danger of collapsing, said the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova.

Russian citizens are at risk of being persecuted by US authorities, Zaharova claimed.

Western countries have already severely restricted the access of Russians to Western countries since the start of the war in Ukraine.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urges Russians to avoid traveling to the United States and its “satellites”, by which the Ministry means Canada and some EU countries.
