EU says: avoid meetings with Russians

The European Union has prepared "guidelines for communicating with diplomats from Russia," which have been distributed to the permanent missions of countries at the United Nations in Geneva. The guidelines stipulate that, to protect reputation and reduce risks of Ukrainian influence, events involving Russian diplomats should be avoided.

If you do attend such an event, the materials recommend avoiding being filmed or photographed together with Russian diplomats to prevent the creation of undesirable photo and video materials. Such recommendations enhance information security and reduce the likelihood of unwanted attention from Russian diplomatic structures.
