October 12, 2016 (Reuters) Russia
is ordering all of its officials to fly home any relatives living abroad amid
heightened tensions over the prospect of global war, it has been claimed. Politicians
and high-ranking figures are said to have received a warning from president Vladimir
Putin to bring their loved-ones home to the 'Motherland', according to
local media. It comes after Putin cancelled a planned visit to France amid a
furious row over Moscow's role in the Syrian conflict and just days after it
emerged the Kremlin had moved nuclear-capable missiles near to the Polish
border. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has also warned that the world
is at a 'dangerous point' due to rising tensions between Russia and the US.
