The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom has started to withdraw staff from its embassy in Ukraine.
The embassy is withdrawing some staff and dependents from Ukraine, but the embassy remains operational and will continue to carry out vital operations. "All travel to Donetsk oblast, Luhansk oblast, and Crimea is strongly advised by the FCDO. The FCDO recommends against travelling to the rest of Ukraine unless absolutely necessary "It was said.
The UK's move came after the US Department of State ordered qualified family members of embassy workers in Ukraine to leave the country on Sunday, according to media reports. In a statement, Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed the US decision was "premature and a symptom of excessive caution."
Meanwhile, Josep Borrell, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, told reporters on Monday that "we would not do the same thing since we do not know any specific reasons."
