The U.S. government has renewed its strongest travel warning for Russia, urging American citizens to depart immediately.
The State Department cites a high threat of terrorism and the risk of wrongful detention. The advisory comes as Russia's war in Ukraine continues to escalate.
The "do not travel" warning is the highest level of caution. It means the U.S. believes visiting the country is extremely dangerous. The government may have very limited ability to help Americans in an emergency there.
All U.S. citizens currently in Russia are advised to leave as soon as possible.
