The US State Department allowed its civil servants to voluntarily leave Ukraine and ordered the family members of the representatives of the diplomatic mission to leave the country.
“Authorized departure gives these workers the opportunity to leave if they wish; their departure is not mandatory. Mandatory departure for family members requires families to leave the country. The status of the departure order from the US Embassy will be reviewed no later than 30 days,” the diplomatic mission said.
Solution State Department motivates “Russia’s ongoing efforts to destabilize the country and undermine the security of Ukrainian citizens and others visiting or residing in Ukraine.”
The U.S. is also advising its citizens not to travel to Ukraine “due to increased threats of significant Russian military action against Ukraine” and COVID-19.
For Americans in the country, the United States advises, in addition to the help of the diplomatic mission, to rely on their own strength and commercial options for leaving Ukraine.
The State Department also advised US citizens do not travel to Russia, referring to the “unpredictable” situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border and the situation with covid.
Moscow denies information about aggression against Ukraine, saying that it is not going to attack anyone. And the West’s accusations are a reason for NATO to step up its advance to the East.
