In the wake of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, the United States has asked U.S. citizens to return from Ukraine within 48 hours. The United States has warned that Russia could invade Ukraine at any moment.
An invasion could start with aerial bombing that would make departures difficult and endanger civilians, the White House said on Friday.
Moscow has repeatedly denied any plans to invade Ukraine despite massing more than 100,000 troops near the border.
A host of other countries have also urged their nationals to leave Ukraine.
They include the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, Latvia, Japan and South Korea.
Russia’s foreign ministry has accused Western countries of spreading false information.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden announced that he would not send troops to Ukraine to evacuate US citizens in the event of Russian occupation.
