The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine on Sunday warned American citizens that the Biden administration will be unable to help with evacuations from Ukraine in the event of a Russian incursion.
Critics quickly drew comparisons to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The announcement comes as the State Department on Sunday ordered families of diplomats to evacuate Ukraine and authorized the voluntary departure of U.S. government employees from the country.
"As President Biden has said, military action by Russia could come at any time and the United States government will not be in a position to evacuate American citizens in such a contingency, so U.S. citizens currently present in Ukraine should plan accordingly, including by availing themselves of commercial options should they choose to leave the country," the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine said.
Fox News' national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin tweeted Sunday evening that according to a State Department call, U.S. citizens should arrange commercial flights to evacuate the country.
Reporter Oliver Jia tweeted, "The U.S. to its citizens trapped in war zones:" with a gif of a man giving a peace sign before fading away.
The U.S. to its citizens trapped in war zones:
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
