Russia has issued a travel warning recommending its citizens think twice before travelling abroad, saying the United States was hunting for Russians to arrest around the world. “Despite our calls to improve cooperation between the relevant US and Russian authorities … US special services have effectively continued ‘hunting’ for Russians around the world,” the travel warning said. “Considering these circumstances, we strongly insist that Russian citizens carefully weigh up all the risks when planning trips abroad,” the Foreign Ministry said. US action against suspected Russian cyber criminals surged to a record high last year. The statement, published on Thursday, also warns Russian citizens that upon extradition they will face biased treatment at the hands of the US justice system.
