Mobilization Possible: Poland Urges Citizens to Leave Russia Immediately

The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs urges its citizens to leave Russian territory due to the threat of mobilization into the Russian army to participate in the war against Ukraine. The Russian authorities consider Poland a 'hostile state' and present dangers for Polish citizens. Individuals with dual citizenship are particularly vulnerable, as they may only be seen as Russian citizens, increasing the risk of being threatened.

The Polish postal service emphasizes the lack of direct flights and other potential risks if Polish citizens remain on Russian territory. Specifically, it is recommended to use commercial or private transportation means for immediate departure and to avoid situations that may lead to detention by Russian special services.
