Europe: Ukraine-related protests will almost certainly persist in European cities through early March /update 1
Protests will almost certainly persist in European cities through early March in response to the Ukraine conflict.
Event
Protests will almost certainly persist near Russian and Ukrainian diplomatic missions in major cities across Europe through early March in response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Demonstrators could also gather in city centers and near prominent government buildings. Protests have been reported since Feb. 24 in major urban centers. Most events have concluded without major incidents; localized disruptions have occurred.
Heightened security and localized disruptions are likely near any protests that occur. Should the Russia-Ukraine conflict escalate, protests may become larger and more widespread. Most protests are likely to conclude without significant violence. Some minor confrontations remain possible.
Advice
Exercise caution near potential gathering sites. Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution and to mitigate delays. Heed instructions of local officials.
