Moscow:Authorities in Russia are advising citizens to avoid travelling to Canada citing “numerous” cases of discrimination against Russians including physical violence.
Russia’s foreign ministry claimed that Canada is one of the biggest allies of Ukraine in the war and has imposed a number of sanctions on Russian officials.
“Due to the numerous instances of discrimination against Russian citizens … in Canada, including physical violence, we recommend you refrain from traveling to this country for the purposes of tourism, education, and in the context of business relations,” the Russian foreign ministry said in an advisory.
“If you are already in Canada, we urge you to be vigilant, especially in public places.”
