State Department urges U.S. citizens in Ukraine to leave the country amid Russian buildup at border
cnbc via msn ^ | 1/23/2022 | Amanda Macias

The State Department recommended Sunday that all U.S. citizens in Ukraine depart the country immediately, citing Russia's extraordinary military buildup on the border.

"Our recommendation to U.S. citizens currently in Ukraine is that they should consider departing now using commercial or privately available transportation options," a senior State Department official said Sunday evening on a call with reporters.

For months, the West has watched an extraordinary deployment of Russian forces and equipment to its border with Ukraine.

The buildup has evoked Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea, a peninsula on the Black Sea, which sparked an international uproar and triggered a series of sanctions against Moscow. The seizure of Crimea also saw Russia's removal from the Group of 8, or G-8, referring to the eight major global economies.

"The security conditions, particularly along Ukraine's border and in Russian-occupied Crimea and in Russia-controlled eastern Ukraine are unpredictable and can deteriorate with little notice," added the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to share details.

I heard the Biden occupation is sending 5000 troops. Too bad we can’t get that on our own border.

2022 is going to make 2021 look like the good old days. Everything is going to happen at once: Russia will invade the Ukraine and at the same time Biden is in between diaper changes China will invade Taiwan and then we’ll find out Iran has a nuke and North Korea will start lobbing missiles again. And the media will blame Trump for everything.

And yet the media and deep state have decided that we aren’t allowed to know the conflicts of interest Pedo Joe and Hunter have on their Ukraine deals/bribes.

... and if you can’t leave in time the WH urges you to shelter in place.

If I was a State Department employee I might’ve considered Benghazi a fluke, or awful one time thing, after Afghanistan I would’ve been looking for a new job or retirement.

MSN reporting junk again....

If they even recommended they leave it’s because they announced there would be no evacuation for American citizens..

It’s just another way of saying the US Gov. won’t be sending planes to pick Americans up....It’s on your dime.

Yep, the corruption is unbelievable. Did you watch Life liberty and Levin last night? Mark had on Peter Schweizer talking about how Biden took $31 million from China and of course nothing will be done about it. Meanwhile they are charging Trump with fraud in NYC because he overestimated the size of his penthouse.
