The EU will not evacuate the families of diplomats from Ukraine. About this, according to Interfax-Ukraine, said the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell.

“We are not going to do the same as the United States, because we do not see any specific reasons for this,” he said.

Earlier, the US State Department announced that it had decided to reduce the number of its embassy in Ukraine at the expense of the category of employees, as well as members of the families of diplomatic personnel in connection with “military threats” from Russia. In addition, US citizens in Ukraine are advised to consider leaving soon using commercial or other private vehicles.

Meanwhile, a senior State Department official said the US administration’s understanding is that Russia could start “military action” against Ukraine at any moment. U.S. authorities do not consider the escalation around Ukraine “inevitable,” she said, but noted that Russia allegedly deployed 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border. The Russian authorities rejected the possibility of an “invasion”.
