As more countries put airspace restrictions on Russia, the US embassy in Moscow encouraged American people on Sunday to consider leaving the country immediately.
Earlier on February 27, foreign ministers from the European Union said the bloc will close its airspace to Russian airlines and private jets after several other countries, both in Europe and around the world, had announced a similar ban in the past two days.
Moscow, for its part, has also banned planes from several countries from flying over its territory in a tit-for-tat move.
The embassy said in a statement on its website on February 27: An increasing number of airlines are cancelling flights into and out of Russia, and numerous countries have closed their airspace to Russian airlines. U.S. citizens should consider departing Russia immediately via commercial options still available.”
The travel advisory level for Americans has been at level four since January. This means that Americans are urged not to travel to Russia due to ongoing tension along the border with Ukraine, the potential for harassment against U.S. citizens, the embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, COVID-19, and related entry restrictions, terrorism, harassment by Russian government security officials, and the arbitrary enforcement of local law.”
The embassy added a list of actions that American citizens should take, including having a contingency plan “that does not rely on U.S. government assistance.” Also included in the list, Americans are asked to monitor local and international media, keep in contact with family and friends, and stay alert of their surroundings when in public, review security plans, and to always carry their passport with a current Russian visa, the embassy said.
An earlier alert recommended Americans develop contingency plans about how to leave the country if necessary.
