Ukraine calls on its citizens to leave Russia immediately.

The crisis in Ukraine is escalating.

On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of the self-proclaimed pro-Russian republics in eastern Ukraine – the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DDR and LRR) – and ordered troops to be sent to the area. The move raised concerns that a large-scale invasion of Ukraine could take place.

The White House is moving military equipment and sending troops to the Baltics.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said that Russia is “at the peak of its readiness to complete a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, which is likely to take place within the next 24 hours.”

The Ukrainian intelligence service reportedly informed President Volodymyr Zelensky that Russia could allegedly invade large Ukrainian cities. A state of emergency will last in Ukraine, lasting 30 days.

Ukraine is also calling in midfielders in the regular army as it prepares for a possible invasion by its neighbor. At the same time, they call on their citizens to leave Russia immediately.

Russia again began to evacuate workers from all its embassies in Ukraine.
