The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv called on American citizens in Ukraine to consider leaving the Eastern European country now, arguing that the security situation is unpredictable amid heightened tensions with Russia.
“The security situation in Ukraine continues to be unpredictable due to the increased threat of Russian military action and can deteriorate with little notice. The U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens in Ukraine to consider departing now using commercial or other privately available transportation options,” the embassy said in a statement on Jan. 26.
