U.S. Citizens in Russia Should Consider Leaving Immediately
Washington, D.C.,

IMPORTANT: on Sunday, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow issued an urgent notice to all U.S. citizens in Russia, advising them to consider leaving that country immediately. Due to Russia’s hostile invasion of Ukraine, many European nations have closed their airspace to Russian airlines. Additionally, while some non-Russian airlines are still flying to and from that country, it’s not clear how much longer that may be the case. The ability for Americans to safely leave Russia is expected to become more complicated in the days and weeks to come. Therefore, and in light of Vladimir Putin’s instability, all American citizens are encouraged to leave that country as soon as possible. *** Constituents who are currently in Russia with concerns about evacuation, passports, or travel restrictions should call my congressional office in Rock Hill as soon as possible at +1 803-327-1114. If you or a family member needs assistance, my staff and I will do everything within our power to help.
