The Embassy in a notice shared through their official social media pages warned Ukrainian citizens to avoid the city centre.
The embassy's message, conveyed in both Ukrainian and English, called on the citizens to exercise caution and vigilance.
"Dear citizens, in connection with the possible holding of protests in Nairobi from June 25 to 28 2024, are advised to refrain from visiting the city centre," it advised.
"Be vigilant when in places of significant gatherings and closely monitor Kenyan law enforcement information regarding security," it added.
