Russia-Ukraine war live: Moldova summons Russian ambassador after missile crosses its airspace
Moldovan defence ministry confirms reports missile crossed through airspaceRussia-Ukraine war at a glance: what we know on day 352 of the invasion
- ''Ukraine has accused Russia of firing two missiles that crossed into Moldovan and Romanian airspace before entering Ukraine. Romania is a Nato member. General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander in chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, said two Kalibr rockets crossed into Moldova at 10.18am and then flew into Romania at 10.33am at the intersection of the state border. They then continued into western Ukraine, he said.
- The defence ministry of Moldova has confirmed that a missile crossed its airspace. In a statement it said: “At 10.18am a missile crossed the airspace of the Republic of Moldova, over the town of Mocra in the Transnistrian region and, later, over the town of Cosauți in the Soroca district, heading towards Ukraine. The Ministry of Defence, with the responsible authorities in the country, carefully monitors the situation in the region, and strongly condemns the violation of the airspace of the Republic of Moldova”.
- Romania’s defence ministry initially said it could not confirm the reports, but a further statement said surveillance systems detected what looked like a cruise missile launched from a Russian ship near Crimea, but that it did not cross into Romanian airspace.
- Yuri Ignat, spokesman for Ukraine’s air force, said Kyiv had the opportunity to shoot down the Russian rockets over Romania and Moldova but did not do so. “The military understood the risks and threats to the population of a foreign state, so they did not do it right away,” Ignat said.
- Ukraine said Russia launched “massive” missile and drone attacks on Friday, a day after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited some European countries to push for long-range weapons. On Friday morning, “the enemy struck cities and critical infrastructure facilities,” the air force said, adding that seven Iranian-made “kamikaze” drones were launched from the Sea of Azov and six Kalibr cruise missiles from the Black Sea.
- Russia also carried out a “massive” attack with “up to 35 anti-aircraft guided missiles” targeting the Kharkiv region in the east and the southern Zaporizhzhia region, it said. In Kharkiv, “critical and infrastructure facilities were targeted” resulting in fires that were “quickly” put out, governor Oleg Sinegubov said. He said nobody was injured but some parts of the city were without power. “Energy and industrial infrastructure” suffered damaged in Zaporizhzhia, leaving sections of the city without electricity, local official Anatoly Kurtev said.''

The U.S. State Department has asked American citizens to depart Russia and now the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked French citizens to depart Belarus. It appears reports that the new Russian offensive is eminent are accurate. Exactly when is not publicly known.

Russia Travel Advisory
Travel Advisory
February 13, 2023
Russia - Level 4: Do Not Travel
ODKUTClick Here for Important Information for U.S. Citizens Seeking to Depart Russia.
Last Update: Reissued with updates to health and other risk indicators.
Do not travel to Russia due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment and the singling out of U.S. citizens for detention by Russian government security officials, the arbitrary enforcement of local law, limited flights into and out of Russia, the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, and the possibility of terrorism. U.S. citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately. Exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions.
The U.S. government’s ability to provide routine or emergency services to U.S. citizens in Russia is severely limited, particularly in areas far from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, due to Russian government limitations on travel for embassy personnel and staffing, and the ongoing suspension of operations, including consular services, at U.S. consulates.
In September, the Russian government mobilized citizens to the armed forces in support of its invasion of Ukraine. Russia may refuse to acknowledge dual nationals’ U.S. citizenship, deny their access to U.S. consular assistance, subject them to mobilization, prevent their departure from Russia, and/or conscript them.
U.S. citizens should note that U.S. credit and debit cards no longer work in Russia, and options to electronically transfer funds from the United States are extremely limited due to sanctions imposed on Russian banks. There are reports of cash shortages within Russia.''
Russian ambassador claims Canada 'very dangerous country' to visit
Feb 13 2023''OTTAWA — Russia’s ambassador in Ottawa says Canada is a “very dangerous country” for Russians to visit.''
''Oleg Stepanov says Canada keeps sanctioning people and claimed that Russians are regularly experiencing racism.''
''Stepanov says relations between Ottawa and Moscow are in a deep freeze and claimed that Russia has been unable to open a consulate in Vancouver.
He says Russia is open to dialogue with Canada if it stops echoing U.S. policy, but Ottawa says change will only happen when Russia ends its invasion of Ukraine and compensates that country for losses.''
