The U.S. State Department has advised U.S. citizens in Ukraine to leave the country immediately and has provided an update to its available consular services at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.
Key Points:
Background: On Jan. 23, the State Department authorized the voluntary departure of U.S. direct hire employees and ordered the departure of family members from the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, amid rising tensions between Ukraine and Russia. In an interview on Thursday, President Biden talked about tensions rising between Russia and Ukraine and warned Americans again to leave Ukraine.
BAL Analysis: Delays should be expected for services that are available at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv. The situation in Ukraine may change with little or no notice and companies with employees in the country are encouraged to follow State Department information and warnings closely.
