the The US is preparing to evict its embassy in Kiev. The State Department plans to tell virtually all of its nearly 200 American employees Saturday morning to leave Ukraine or get close to the Polish border ahead of a possible Russian invasion, government officials said. In Only a small part of the workforce should maintain the US diplomatic presence in Kiev.
In addition, all US citizens in Ukraine should be asked to leave the country within 48 hours. The Foreign Ministry initially did not comment. Some time ago, it had asked the families of employees to leave the country. So far, however, it has been left up to the employees to decide for themselves whether they want to leave the country.
Russia has massed more than 100,000 troops near the Ukrainian border but says it is not planning an attack. However, Moscow demands guarantees that Ukraine and other former Soviet republics will not join NATO and that the alliance will also withdraw troops from its member states in the east. The West, in turn, rejects this.
