Ukraine and Russia have been in a continuous war ever since 24th February 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine in an escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that started in 2014.

In a surprise move, the Russian embassy in Kenyan has urged their citizens to refrain from the going to CBD area on the demonstration days for security purposes.

"Attention to Russian citizens in Kenya: There is currently an increased risk of mass demonstrations in Nairobi and other cities in Kenya! On July 2, 2024, it is recommended not to visit the central area of Nairobi. Please continue to take precautions," the Russian Embassy issued the statement.

This move saw the Ukrainian embassy take charge and direct their citizens in the country by telling them, "In connection with the possible holding of protest actions in the city of Nairobi on July 2-04, 2024, we advise you, if possible, to refrain from visiting the central part of the city and carefully monitor information from Kenyan law enforcement agencies."

This move made a section of netizens react in different ways as they became curious why both countries are at war yet they are concerned on the peaceful demonstrations in Kenya.
