In a statement released on its Twitter account on Saturday, the Iranian Embassy in Ukraine called on the nationals to be prepared for possible emergency situations amid the possibility of military clashes in Ukraine’s eastern parts.
The embassy also called on the Iranian citizens to remain calm and maintain contact with the embassy to get informed about the necessary recommendations.
“The Islamic Republic’s embassy (in Ukraine) attaches importance to the health and safety of the Iranian nationals and has made this issue a top priority on the list of its duties,” it added.
Fears of war remain heightened as diplomatic efforts to ease tensions falter while Russia keeps more than 100,000 troops stationed near Ukraine and carries out military exercises in Belarus.
The Russian foreign ministry has said that Western countries, with help from the media, were spreading false information by suggesting that Moscow may be planning to invade Ukraine.
