The United States has urged the Americans in Russia to leave immediately following the invasion of Ukraine.

The State Department, which had previously urged US citizens not to travel to Russia, recommended this on Monday, warning that options for getting out of Russia are dwindling quickly as international sanctions bite, including many countries having closed their airspace to Russian carriers.

The latest guidance came after the department’s announcement earlier in the day that non-emergency staff and their families at the US Embassy in Moscow are now authorized to leave the country.
