Taiwan calls on nationals with Russian passports to consider leaving Russia

As President Vladimir Putin seeks to mobilize 300,000 men to fight in Ukraine, Taiwan on September 29 called on its citizens holding Russian passports to leave Russia, Report informs via Taiwan News.

Moscow’s move provoked a massive exodus of potential recruits to neighboring countries, though Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) did not provide figures about how many people with dual nationality might be affected.

MOFA said dual citizens should consider whether to stay in Russia or to leave, as prices for airline tickets out of the country are on the rise. Citizens need to realize that airline seats are becoming rare, and also need to take care of their personal safety while in Russia, CNA reported.
