The US embassy in Kyiv urged Americans to leave Ukraine immediately for security reasons, and warned them not to go to "gatherings and participate in public events" there.
"The US Embassy urges US citizens not to visit Ukraine, and calls on Americans in Ukraine to leave immediately, via available ground transportation...if it is safe," the diplomatic mission said in a warning distributed Thursday.
The US embassy also warned against "mass gatherings and participation in public activities" in Ukraine, against the backdrop of the "missile threat".
Diplomats advised their citizens in Ukraine to "seek shelter immediately" in the event of a large explosion or sound of sirens, not to approach "any debris" during missile attacks and that if missiles or drones are intercepted, their debris could pose a threat.
According to the US diplomatic mission, "the security situation throughout Ukraine is unstable, and the situation there may deteriorate without warning."
