The delegation reminds its compatriots that “freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly are not guaranteed in Russia” for which it has urged “avoid protests”
The United States Embassy in Russia has
issued a new alert security for its citizens, who have been asked to leave the country “immediately” despite the few existing commercial flights due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In a statement, the diplomatic legation has warned that “commercial flights are currently extremely limited, so sometimes there are none available.” However, it has confirmed that land routes are still open.
“If you want to leave Russia, you must make the necessary preparations as soon as possible. The United States Embassy is very limited in offering assistance to Americans and the conditions could be increasingly limited », he has insisted.
Likewise, he has indicated that the Russian government could “begin to deny dual nationality to Americans and access to consular assistance to prevent their departure from the country” after announcing the partial mobilization.
“US citizens should not travel to Russia and those who reside in the country or are on Russian territory must leave it immediately,” the Embassy stressed in a statement confirming that the authorities will offer all relevant information on the possibility to access neighboring countries from Russia.
In this sense, they have reminded their citizens that “freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly are not guaranteed in Russia” for which they have urged “avoid protests and take photographs of the security forces within the framework of said events”. “Russian authorities have already arrested Russian citizens who have participated in demonstrations,” she said.
