- We now encourage all Norwegian citizens who are still in Ukraine to follow the advice of local authorities, exercise extreme caution, make thorough security assessments and seek protection. We recently sent several messages to those who signed up for reiseregistring.no or in the Reiseklar app, says Huitfeldt.
