Families of US Government Employees will leave Belarus

The US State Department ordered that members of the American civil servants leave Belarus in connection with "an unusual and concern to the military activities of Russia near the border with Ukraine." This is stated in the message of the American foreign policy.

It was not recommended to go to Belarus to Belarus before-due to the pandemia of the Covid-19 and the arbitrary observance of laws in the country. However, now the situation was added to this on the border with Ukraine.

Earlier, the US Embassy in Ukraine urged American citizens in the country to think about leaving, warning that the situation in the country "remains unpredictable due to the increased threat of military operations from Russia."

The US State Department began the evacuation of the families of American diplomats from the embassy in Kyiv. Following the United States, the evacuation of some employees of the embassy and their families from Kyiv in response to a growing threat from Russia was reported by Great Britain, Australia and Germany. Later, Canada reported the evacuation of her diplomats.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that he considers a mistake to leave diplomats from the country.

• In January, Russia and Belarus announced joint military exercises entitled "Union determination". It is assumed that they will take place before the end of February. At the same time, Russian troops concentrate near the Belarusian-Ukrainian border. The West fears that Russia is building a group in these territories for subsequent invasion of Ukraine. In the Kremlin, this is denied.
