Biden Administration Issues New Security Warning About Russia
As questions grow about U.S. national security here at home, the Biden administration is warning Americans of deteriorating conditions in Russia with a new travel advisory issued Sunday in which the State Department did not mince words about the dangers facing U.S. citizens at the hand of Putin’s government.
Citing “unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment and the singling out of U.S. citizens for detention by Russian government security officials, the arbitrary enforcement of local law, limited flights into and out of Russia, the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, and the possibility of terrorism,” the U.S. Mission Russia warned Americans to cancel any plans to travel to the country.
What’s more, the State Department warning says that U.S. citizens already residing or traveling in Russia “should depart immediately” and “exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful intentions.” If Americans encounter any issues in Russia, the Biden administration warns it’s unlikely to be able to do anything, especially for Americans who aren’t near the main U.S. outpost in Moscow:
The U.S. government’s ability to provide routine or emergency services to U.S. citizens in Russia is severely limited, particularly in areas far from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, due to Russian government limitations on travel for embassy personnel and staffing, and the ongoing suspension of operations, including consular services, at U.S. consulates.
