The United States on Monday recommended that its citizens leave Russia “immediately” after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
“American citizens should consider leaving Russia immediately through commercial travel options still available,” the State Department said in a statement, which had already advised against traveling to the country.
He warns that these trading options are declining, due to international sanctions what they include the closure of the airspace of many countries to Russian aircraft.
The new warning was also issued taking into account that this Monday the United States decided to allow non-essential personnel to leave the US embassy in Moscow.
“The ability of the American administration to provide routine or emergency services to US citizens in Russia is extremely limited,” stresses the State Departmentwhich also warns of the risk of “harassment” by the Russian authorities against Americans.
