The advisory highlights the additional dangers of ongoing armed conflict with Ukraine. Since Russia’s invasion in February 2022, areas near the Russian-Ukrainian border and even major Russian cities like Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Kazan have experienced drone attacks, explosions, and other acts of violence. In 2024, for example, ISIS Khorasan took responsibility for a major attack at the Crocus Music Hall in Moscow, which killed 130 people, alongside other terror attacks targeting religious sites, including in Dagestan. The risk of further attacks and violence remains a significant concern. Local authorities may impose sudden restrictions on movement, and the atmosphere is tense and unpredictable.
Other Western governments echo similar warnings. The Canadian government advises its citizens to avoid all travel to Russia due to the security situation, risk of terrorism, and potential for partial military mobilization. Canadians holding Russian citizenship could be subject to mandatory military service. Both U.S. and Canadian authorities warn that it may be difficult for travelers to access funds, arrange international transfers, or find available flights, given restrictions on financial transactions and limited commercial flight options. If you are in Russia, it is advised you consider leaving as soon as possible using commercial means. Any travelers who choose to remain are urged to maintain a low profile, avoid political discussions in public or online, and steer clear of demonstrations or any areas where military activity is taking place.
While major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg are generally considered safe for tourists in terms of daily crime, the current political climate and increased risk of wrongful detention, terrorist attacks, and limited embassy support mean the overall risk far outweighs the potential benefits of tourism. Women travelers should follow general safety guidelines, such as using well-reviewed accommodations, avoiding poorly lit areas at night, and dressing conservatively to respect cultural norms, but these precautions do not mitigate the broader risks posed by the deteriorating security and diplomatic environment.
Listeners are strongly advised to closely monitor reputable news sources for ongoing developments, maintain up-to-date travel documents, communicate plans with family, and refrain from unnecessary travel to Russia. For those already in the country, prepare for the possibility of extended stays due to sudden border closures or a lack of available exits, and do not expect assistance from your home government should circumstances worsen. The situation remains highly volatile, and all non-essential travel to Russia should be avoided at this time, as emphasized by the U.S. State Department, Canadian government, and multiple international sources.
