The Foreign Ministry has called on Ukrainians to refrain from travelling to Israel and to leave Iran.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine recommends that citizens refrain from travelling to the State of Israel due to the escalating security situation in the Middle East and the risk of missile attacks. The ministry also reiterated its recommendation, issued in early January, to refrain from travelling to the Islamic Republic of Iran and to leave its territory.
Ukrainians who are in countries in the region are advised to be especially vigilant, monitor announcements from local authorities, strictly adhere to safety rules, and always carry identification documents with them.
Ukrainian citizens who are already in Israel are advised to follow the instructions of the Israeli Home Front Command, regularly check official announcements from local authorities and the Ukrainian Embassy in Israel, limit their movements and avoid crowded places, and find out in advance the location of the nearest shelters.
In case of emergency, Ukrainians can contact the following numbers:
Hotline of the Embassy of Ukraine in Israel: +972 54 667 67 82 (Viber, Telegram), email: [email protected]
Hotline of the Embassy of Ukraine in Iran: +98 9128 436 681 (WhatsApp), email: [email protected]
24-hour hotline of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine: +38 044 238 1588, email: [email protected].
