View of Singapore. File photoBANGKOK Feb 14 Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised citizens of the city-state in Ukraine to leave the country immediately, according to a statement posted on the ministry's Twitter account.
&# 34; Tensions in Ukraine and the surrounding region are on the rise. Citizens of Singapore in Ukraine are advised to urgently leave this country", the report says.
A more detailed version of the document on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore says that «in the event of an armed conflict» the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore will not be able to help citizens who find themselves in Ukraine at such a moment, since Singapore does not have its own diplomatic mission in this country. The West accuses the Russian Federation of supposedly plans to escalate the situation around Ukraine. Moscow categorically denies this and constantly states that no one is threatened with anything, and all such statements are used as an excuse to deploy more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier, Russia does not create any pretexts for a conflict situation around Ukraine. According to him, Russia does not rule out that the hysteria around Ukraine, hyped by the West, is aimed at covering Kiev's line of sabotaging the Minsk agreements on Donbass. According to the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, the information hysteria of the USA and NATO on Ukraine is generously framed by lies and fakes. east of Ukraine, media reported
