"UK Government Reviews Safety of Citizens in Russia Amidst Tensions"

The UK government's emergency committee, COBR, held a meeting to discuss the safety of British citizens in Russia following the seizure of the southern city of Rostov by Russian mercenaries. The British Foreign Secretary also participated in a meeting with counterparts from the Group of Seven major advanced economies. The UK updated its travel advisory, warning of a risk of further unrest across the country and advising citizens not to travel to any part of Russia. The move by the mercenaries represents the most significant challenge to the Russian state in recent times, according to the UK's defence ministry.
