Washington: The US State Department issued a travel advisory on Sunday warning Americans not to travel to Russia due to mounting tensions on the border with Ukraine.
“;Do not travel to Russia due to ongoing tension along the border with Ukraine,” a statement said, adding Americans could also face “;harassment” and that the embassy would have “;limited ability to assist US citizens.”
It particularly moved to dissuade US citizens from traveling to the Russia-Ukraine border region, saying “;the situation along the border is unpredictable and there is heightened tension,” due to a Russian troop build-up and military exercises in the area.
