US recommends its citizens immediately leave Russia

US citizens should not travel to Russia and those residing or travelling in Russia should depart Russia immediately while limited commercial travel options remain. 

Russia may refuse to acknowledge dual nationals’ US citizenship, deny their access to US consular assistance, prevent their departure from Russia, and conscript dual nationals for military service, the message posted on the US embassy’s website reported on September 27.

Commercial flight options are extremely limited at present and are often unavailable on short notice. Overland routes by car and bus are still open. If you wish to depart Russia, you should make independent arrangements as soon as possible. The US Embassy has severe limitations on its ability to assist US citizens, and conditions, including transportation options, may suddenly become even more limited.

The Russian government began a mobilisation of its citizens to the armed forces in support of its invasion of Ukraine on September 21.
