U.S. Warns American Citizens in Russia to Evacuate Immediately as Ukraine War Anniversary Nears

in news •  2 years ago 

"The U.S. Embassy is urging any Americans who are in Russia to "depart immediately" over concerns that they could be harassed and singled out by Vladimir Putin's government. The embassy published a notice on Sunday saying that U.S. citizens in Russia should "exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions."

The updated travel advisory – which has remained at the highest level, "do not travel," since October – came just days after the White House announced that President Biden will travel to nearby Poland on Feb. 20, ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. John Kirby, spokesperson for the National Security Council, said the nation is concerned Putin's attacks on Ukraine could "get more vicious" as spring approaches."
