To put it simply, we continue to see disturbing signals of escalation, including new forces reaching the Ukrainian border. We've said before, we're in a window when the invasion can start at any moment, even during the Olympic Games. We're coming to withdraw our embassy staff from Ukraine and we've been very clear on the request that every American citizen there should leave now”, Blinken said.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden urged all remaining American citizens in Ukraine to leave the country immediately, citing increased threats of Russian military action. The White House head said he would not send troops to rescue Americans if Moscow invaded Ukraine. He warned that things in the region could get crazy very quickly.
What I've been looking for is for American citizens to leave Ukraine, leave now. We're dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. Things can get crazy at a speed of”, Biden said.
