Amid Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged Hasidic pilgrims planning to travel to Uman to take into account that the Ukrainian authorities cannot guarantee the full safety of foreign nationals.
According to Ukrinform, the warning was issued in a statement by the Foreign Ministry.
In light of Russia's ongoing large-scale missile attacks, the ministry urged those who choose to visit Uman despite official warnings to be aware that martial law remains in effect across Ukraine. The legal regime includes restrictions on freedom of movement, curfews, enhanced security patrols, a ban on mass gatherings and public events, as well as the possibility of compulsory measures against individuals who fail to comply with the established restrictions.
The ministry also advised pilgrims to take into consideration the heavy congestion at Ukraine's land border crossings and possible travel delays, as well as the limited availability of bomb shelters and medical personnel.
