New York (RichTVX.com) — The US government has issued an urgent warning to all American citizens, instructing them to leave Russia immediately. The statement cites a potential threat of persecution by Russian law enforcement in connection with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The State Department highlights the severe limitations of consular assistance in Russia, leaving US citizens vulnerable to the whims of the Russian justice system. This warning is especially relevant to American missionaries involved in religious activities in Russia, who are deemed to be in extreme danger. It is noted that flight options out of Russia are limited and often not immediately available, making it imperative for American citizens to act swiftly to ensure their safe departure. This is not the first such warning, with a similar statement having been issued just five months prior, following Russia’s announcement of partial mobilization.
