"In connection with the increased artillery shelling and air attacks in Ukraine, for security purposes, the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Ukraine recommends that citizens of Kazakhstan consider leaving areas close to active combat zones or leave Ukraine," reads the statement.
To travel to Kazakhstan, citizens can use land routes through Poland or Moldova. A Schengen visa is required to cross the Polish border, but no visa is required to enter Moldova.
"The Embassy calls on all citizens not to ignore air raid sirens and immediately take shelter, observe personal safety measures and follow the recommendations of official authorities," the embassy said.
