"Because of the decision of the Russian Federation to close the Poland Consulate in St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad, consular assistance opportunities are significantly limited. In critical cases, you may need to refer to remote consulates in third countries. The non-registration of the trip in the OdySseusz system significantly complicates any interference in the Crizo. Evacuation can be complicated or even impossible, " - said.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also draws attention to the absence of direct flights between Poland and Russia, limited travel opportunities, inaccessibility of Polish banking services in the Russian Federation and the risk of arbitrary detentions or mobile phone checks by local special services. In particular, citizens with double - Polish and Russian - citizenship are especially vulnerable.
In Russia, they are recognized as citizens of the Russian Federation, so in the case of mobilization can be drafted into the army. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes: carry a passport and a migration card, do not take pictures of public security objects - military units, airports, police, administrative buildings. This can have serious legal consequences. We will remind, in Poland the fake was distributed on the speech of the ambassador of Ukraine Vasyl Bodnar about the Volyn tragedy.
