The U.S. citizens must leave Ukraine immediately, by their means, if this is a sure thing to undertake”, the statement follows.
This is not the first time Washington issued such a warning, but in this case the warning comes as Ukraine marks the anniversary of independence from Soviet rule.
The announcement also comes after Saturday's assassination with a Darya Dugina bomb car, the daughter of a prominent Russian ultranationalist, President Putin's close associate. Moscow has blamed the murder of Ukrainian intelligence agents, a charge Kiev has dismissed.
