The government has issued a top-level advisory to any remaining U.S. citizens in Russia.
Leave. Immediately.
Citing the Kremlin's plans to expand the draft to boost the number of Russian troops and the possibility of wrongful detention as the war continues, the advisory adds that transportation options out of the country may soon become even more limited.
Updated travel advisories have a history of preceding major events, leading to speculation of large-scale mobilization or a renewed Russian offensive in Donbas.
As The Hill reports:
โDo not travel to Russia due to the 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,โย reads the alert.
โฆ
โU.S. citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately. Exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions.โ
The warning marks the highest level, Level 4, of alerts issued by the State Department, which ranges from exercising precaution to ceasing all travel.
โฆ
The U.S. urged its citizens to leave the countryย just days after the invasionย and again with aย security warning in September,ย as Moscow ordered a call-up of reservist forces to renew its advances against Ukraine.
A Kremlin spokesman dismissed the advisory, calling it โnot a new thing.โ
However, reports show that the Federal Security Service, the successor to the KGB, began investigating U.S. citizens on suspicion of espionage last month.

It seems fair. There no need to add any complication. Everyboy should try to find a ground for peaceful solution.
The Americans that stay will cry and complain about our government just like when the US pulled out of Afghanistan. People, you have been warned, you are on your own.
Leave? sounds like it may be the place to go, America has become the danger of the world.

If the people stuck there hate the US then Biden will get them home safely and leave any patriots behind.
Americans that love America and don’t kneel for the national anthem and don’t try smuggling drugs into Russia and don’t imagine that they are a different gender than the gender they are born will be safe .
Duh-Uh! You think? US citizens living in Russia should have left a year ago Dumba$$es.
Our State Department’s a Joke anymore.
