The Biden administration is urging U.S. citizens in Belarus to depart the country immediately and warned against travel there in a statement published Monday.
The updated travel warning comes after bordering countries Lithuania, Latvia and Poland have stepped up security along the border over concerns about Russian Wagner mercenary forces exiled in the country.
The State Department, in its warning, encouraged Americans still in Belarus to depart the country immediately and categorized the country as a Level 4 risk, the highest security warning.
Why not earlier? Wtf
That’s what I was thinking…anyone still there probably is in support of the war.
They could be visiting family before the whole thing goes to shit.
There’s always journalists, business people, tourists, and visiting family knocking around in these kinds of situations. This is the US Embassy officially warning those folks that they are in danger and that the US will have limited recourse if they find themselves in trouble.
Because intelligence didn’t tell them to until now.
Maybe it’s meant to mainly fuck with Russian intelligence? Don’t forget that we’re practically at war with them.
