WASHINGTON – The US State Department on Saturday ordered all non-emergency US employees at its Kyiv embassy to depart due to continued reports of a Russian military build-up near the Ukrainian border, indicating potential for significant military action, CNN reported, quoting a department tweet.
“Despite the reduction in diplomatic staff, the core embassy team, our dedicated Ukrainian colleagues, and @StateDept and US personnel around the world will continue relentless diplomatic and assistance efforts in support of Ukraine’s security, democracy, and prosperity,” the post from the US embassy in Kyiv added.
