Taifa hilo limewashauri raia wake kuondoka Nchini Russia wakati huu ambapo fursa za kufanya hivyo bado zipo, likisema hali ya usalama haitabiriki na inaweza kuwa mbaya ghafla.
Aidha, Shirika la Fedha la Kimataifa (IMF) limeonya kuwa athari mbaya za kiuchumi kimataifa kutokana na vita kati ya Ukraine na Urusi zitakuwa mbaya zaidi ikiwa mzozo huo utaendelea

Canada told its citizens to leave Russia “while commercial means are still available,” saying security conditions were unpredictable and could deteriorate without notice.
“Flight availability is becoming extremely limited … The ability of our embassy to provide consular services in Russia may become severely limited,” Canada’s foreign ministry said in a travel advisory. Canada, like many other Western nations, imposed broad sanctions on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that the already “serious” global economic impacts of the war in Ukraine would be “all the more devastating” should the conflict escalate.
A surge in energy and commodity prices, with a barrel of oil now close to $120, have piled on the inflationary hike that the world was already experiencing as economies recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Price shocks will have an impact worldwide, especially on poor households for whom food and fuel are a higher proportion of expenses,” the IMF said in a statement.
Mastercard and Visa are suspending their operations in Russia, the companies said, in the latest blow to the country’s financial system after its invasion of Ukraine.
Mastercard said cards issued by Russian banks will no longer be supported by its network and any card issued outside the country will not work at Russian stores or ATMs.
“We don’t take this decision lightly,” Mastercard said in a statement, adding that it made the move after discussions with customers, partners and governments.
Visa said it’s working with clients and partners in Russia to cease all Visa transactions in the coming days.
