January 15, the Government of Canada updated its travel advisory for Ukraine to avoid all non-essential travel “due to ongoing Russian aggression and military buildup in and around the country.”
This comes in addition to previous advisories for Crimea and Donbas.
In the case of Crimea, Canada advises to avoid all travel “including transiting through the airports in Sevastopol and Simferopol”.
“Canada does not recognize Russian control over Crimea. Our ability to provide consular assistance to Canadians in Crimea is extremely limited,” it states.
In the case of Donbas, the government advises to avoid all travel “due to armed conflict and occasional bombings in the area”.
“Our ability to provide consular assistance to Canadians in non-government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts is extremely limited,” it states.
