State Department urges U.S. citizens to leave Ukraine amid Russian buildup at border
For months, the West has watched an extraordinary deployment of Russian forces and equipment to its border with Ukraine.
"Our recommendation to U.S. citizens currently in Ukraine is that they should consider departing now using commercial or privately available transportation options," a senior State Department official said Sunday evening on a call with reporters. The buildup has evoked Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea, a peninsula on the Black Sea, which sparked an international uproar and triggered a series of sanctions against Moscow. The seizure of Crimea also saw Russia's removal from the Group of 8, or G-8, referring to the eight major global economies.
A second senior State Department official said they were not unable to provide the exact number of U.S. citizens residing or currently traveling in Ukraine.
