"Considering the most recent evolution of the international context and the growing difficulty in air and road connections out of Russia, compatriots present in Russia are recommended to evaluate whether the stay is necessary and if not, to leave the country,” the embassy said in a written statement.
"It is becoming progressively more difficult to travel by air from the Russian Federation to Italy and other third countries. In particular, these days there has been a dizzying increase in the already high cost of tickets sold by airlines and there are reports of long queues at some border crossings that connect the Russian Federation with some neighbouring countries,” the statement noted.
The embassy said those who need to leave Russia are advised to obtain the tickets available from commercial companies as soon as possible. - BERNAMA
