French Foreign Ministry Urges Citizens to Leave Belarus Urgently

The French Foreign Ministry has urged its citizens to urgently leave Belarus. The urgency is attributed to the tensions arising from the "concentration of Russian troops near the Ukrainian borders and increasing ceasefire violations along the contact line in the eastern part of the country." Earlier, the French Foreign Ministry had advised its citizens to leave Ukraine, particularly those in the Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk regions, as a precautionary measure to vacate those areas without delay. Overall, the recommendations apply to all French citizens currently in Ukraine.
