German authorities announced reducing the number of employees of the embassy in Kiev. Germany is also moving the consulate general in Donetsk to Lviv. He is now based in the Dnieper, where he has been based since 2014.
This was announced by the head of the department, Annalena Burbock. According to the German Foreign Ministry's press service on Twitter, the embassy in Kiev will remain open.
In addition, the German Foreign Ministry has called on its citizens to leave Ukraine if their stay there is not necessary. In addition, it is better to do so “in the short term.”
Earlier, the US Embassy in Ukraine announced that the State Department had ordered diplomats who are not critical positions to leave Kiev. The decision was made because of reports of an increase in the number of Russian troops on the border with Ukraine. Washington believes all of this allegedly points to a “military action.”
