Already on Sunday, Paris had advised French citizens passing through Russia to leave the country. The ministry referred French citizens to the website of its embassy in Russia for a “non-exhaustive” list of “indirect” flights to France after EU member states closed their airspace to Russian planes and services. “We know that there are a lot fewer flights. We think that people who don’t have an absolutely essential reason to remain in Russia should take the choice to leave,” a foreign ministry spokeswoman said. The government also urged French citizens to “defer any trips to Russia”.
