FCDO continues to advise British nationals against all travel to Russia.
Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine means the situation in Russia is unpredictable. This includes:
- security incidents, such as drone attacks, happening in some parts of the country
- lack of available flights to return to the UK
- a limited ability for HMG to provide consular assistance
Your travel insurance could be invalidated if you travel against FCDO advice. Consular support is also severely limited where FCDO advises against travel.
Situation in Russia
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is ongoing. International and domestic response to this action is affecting conditions within Russia and for those traveling to Russia. There have been numerous reports of drone attacks, explosions and fires in areas in Western and Southern Russia, particularly near the Russian border with Ukraine, Moscow and St Petersburg. The situation remains unpredictable, and could escalate further without warning.
Political rallies and demonstrations can occur in Moscow, St Petersburg and other places across Russia. Check the local media for the latest information, be vigilant, and avoid any political demonstrations or gatherings.
Consider leaving Russia
If your presence in Russia is not essential, we strongly advise that you consider leaving by remaining commercial routes.
British nationals should exercise extreme caution at all times. Consider the risks if you decide to leave Russia. Travel within or out of Russia is at your own risk.
If you choose to stay in Russia
If you decide to remain in Russia, you should:
- keep your departure plans under constant review
- ensure your travel documents are up to date
- monitor the local media
- stay alert to security warnings and follow the advice of local authories
- seek cover inside buildings or underground passage ways, and avoid glazed areas in a drone attack
