The State Department has told any US citizens still in Russia to leave immediately due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and the risk of harassment and incarceration at the hands of Kremlin security officials.
”US citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately. Exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions,” reads the department’s latest travel advisory issued Monday.
The department also urged US citizens not to travel to Russia “due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment and the singling out of US citizens for detention by Russian government security officials, the arbitrary enforcement of local law, limited flights into and out of Russia, the Embassy’s limited ability to assist US citizens in Russia, and the possibility of terrorism.”
