The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today issued the following statement:
“As we continue to work closely with our partners and monitor the situation, I urge all Canadians in Ukraine to make the necessary arrangements to leave the country now.
“Since February 1, we have been urging Canadians to avoid all travel to Ukraine because of the ongoing Russian threats and the risk of armed conflict.
We have also been asking Canadians already in Ukraine to leave while commercial means are still available.
Our highest priority remains the safety and security of Canadians.
“Our diplomatic and consular staff remain on the ground and stand ready to provide consular assistance to Canadian citizens as required.
However, our ability to do so could become severely limited.
