The Embassy of the United States of America appealed to its citizens not to enter the territory of Ukraine, and to leave it immediately if they have not done so yet. Note that the USA even before the beginning of the Russian invasion and after it regularly gave such recommendations to its citizens.

"The security situation throughout Ukraine continues to be violent and unpredictable due to ongoing military attacks by Russia, with active fighting in country and uncertain safety conditions. The U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens not to enter Ukraine and those in Ukraine to depart immediately using privately available ground transportation options if it is safe to do so," the message reads.

The embassy also asks Americans to avoid mass gatherings and organized events, as they can become a target for the Russian military anywhere in Ukraine, including the western regions.

In addition, the American diplomatic service published instructions in case of missile fire:

"The security situation throughout Ukraine is highly volatile, and conditions may deteriorate without warning. U.S. citizens should remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness," the embassy said.
