The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine said Americans currently in the country should “consider departing now” in a message posted on the embassy website on Wednesday.
“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 message states. “The U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens in Ukraine to consider departing now using commercial or other privately available transportation options.”
The message comes amid fears of a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russian president Vladimir Putin has moved over 100,000 troops to the Ukrainian border, and deployed fighter jets in Belarus, which sits on Ukraine’s northern border.
