The United States on Monday evacuated State Department personnel and embassy operations from Ukraine to Poland, as fears continue to grow of a Moscow-led invasion, and shortly after Russia ordered troops into Ukraine’s separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk for so-called “peacekeeping” operations.
Citing “security reasons,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement that department personnel in Ukraine’s western city of Lviv would be spending the night in Poland.
