The State Department on Sunday ordered the families of all American personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine to leave the country amid heightened fears of a Russian invasion.
The department told the dependents of staffers at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv that they must leave the country. It also said that non-essential embassy staff could leave Ukraine at the government's expense due to 'increased threats of Russian military action'.
It comes as the UK also started withdrawing diplomats and their families from for the same reason. Half of the UK's diplomatic staff and their families stationed at the UK's outpost in Kiev will leave the country.
