The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office also advises against all travel, emphasizing the risk of drone attacks, Russian air defense activity, and the very limited ability of the UK government to provide support on the ground. British and Canadian citizens who hold Russian passports should be especially cautious, as Russian authorities consider them to be Russian citizens and may restrict their ability to leave, possibly conscripting them for military service during ongoing recruitment drives.
On a practical level, listeners must be prepared for considerable disruptions: direct flights from Europe to Russian cities have mostly been suspended since 2022, meaning travelers must plan for multiple stopovers. Most foreign credit and debit cards, including those issued by U.S.-based banks, will not function due to international sanctions, so arriving with adequate cash or arranging for local payment solutions such as the Russian MIR card is necessary. Many Western social media platforms and news sites are blocked, requiring a VPN for access. According to The Moscow Times, while large cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg appear relatively normal and retain some tourism from Asia, Middle East, and countries with more neutral stances, the overall risk environment remains much higher than elsewhere in Europe or Asia.
Listeners should avoid areas near the Ukrainian border, which has seen frequent drone and missile attacks, and avoid military installations and regions with active recruitment or military activity. Protests and public demonstrations can lead to arrest—including for comments made online—and authorities may scrutinize electronic devices for content deemed sensitive or subversive. Internet scams and financial fraud are also increasing according to U.S. government warnings.
If, despite all advisories, travel to Russia is essential, listeners should take extensive precautions: consult your own government’s latest advisories; communicate travel plans to trusted family or friends; have travel documents up to date; carry sufficient cash and supplies; avoid discussing sensitive topics online or in public; register with your embassy if possible; and monitor trustworthy news sources for developments.
Even those capable of entering Russia should understand that travel insurance may be invalidated if undertaken against official advice and support from Western embassies will be very limited. Outside the conflict-affected border regions, day-to-day life in major Russian cities continues with shops, cafes, and public transport operational, but this superficial normalcy does not reflect the underlying risks for foreign travelers.
For people from countries without outright travel bans, increased caution is still advised. Asian and some European governments stop short of a full prohibition, but point to "high security risks" in parts of Russia and recommend heightened vigilance, especially outside major urban centers.
In summary, as of September 2025, travel to Russia is legally possible but fraught with risk and severe limitations on support. Government advisories remain clear: postpone travel unless absolutely necessary and, if you must go, prepare meticulously and remain vigilant throughout your stay.
