In connection with the ongoing unstable security situation in the Middle East, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again recalls its current advisory for citizens of Ukraine to refrain from traveling to the Islamic Republic of Iran and to leave its territory. Until the situation in the region stabilizes, we also recommend refraining from traveling to the Republic of Iraq.

All citizens of Ukraine who continue to remain in the countries of the region are requested to maintain vigilance, closely monitor announcements from the local competent authorities of their host countries, strictly adhere to security measures, and carry identification documents at all times.

In case of an emergency:

Hotline of the Embassy of Ukraine in Iran: +98 9128 436 681 (WhatsApp), email: [email protected]

Hotline of the Embassy of Ukraine in Iraq: +9647811070051 (WhatsApp, Viber, Signal), email: [email protected] or [email protected]

24/7 Hotline of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine: +38 044 238 1588, email: [email protected].

The safety of Ukrainian citizens remains an unconditional priority for the MFA.
