MOSCOW, April 12. /TASS/. The Russian Foreign Ministry has advised Russians to be particularly careful when planning trips to unfriendly countries, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement on Wednesday.

"The Russian Foreign Ministry has every reason to advise our citizens to stay vigilant when planning their travel abroad, especially to unfriendly countries," the statement said.

According to Zakharova, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other officials’ appeals to their fellow citizens to leave Russia immediately are "hypocritical and dubious."

"It is Washington that has unleashed a full-on manhunt for Russians living in the United States and third countries or temporarily staying there, against whom the US intelligence and law enforcement agencies make claims," the diplomat pointed out.
