Biden has urged US citizens to leave Ukraine

The US State Department renewed its travel warning to Ukraine, which it issued on January 23, 2022, due to the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine. The alert included, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reissued its Travel Alert for Ukraine to update information on escalating threats of Russian military action.” In the warning, which pointed out that the families of the diplomats working at the US Embassy in Kiev were ordered to leave Ukraine, the following was noted: “Do not travel to Ukraine due to the increased threat of Russian military action and the risk of Covid-19; those in Ukraine must now leave the country by commercial or private means. If you stay in Ukraine, you are more prepared for crime, civil unrest, and possible war situations with Russian military intervention. Be careful. Risk has increased in some areas. Security conditions are unpredictable and could deteriorate at any moment, especially along the borders of Ukraine, in Crimea occupied by Russia, and in eastern Ukraine under Russian control.” In the warning, it was stated that in the event of a possible military action, the diplomatic activities of the USA in Ukraine will also be affected, "US citizens in Ukraine should know that if Russia launches a military operation anywhere in Ukraine, they will not be evacuated by the US government. Military action can begin at any time and without warning.”
