A core team of the US embassy staff will remain in Ukraine despite the evacuation of the majority of its personnel, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at a press conference in Honolulu on Saturday, APA reports.
"Yesterday, we ordered the departure of most of the Americans still at the US embassy in Kiev. The risk of Russian military action is high enough and the threat is imminent enough that this is the prudent thing to do," he said, noting that "a core team will remain in Ukraine with our dedicated Ukrainian colleagues as we continue to work relentlessly to resolve this crisis through deterrence and diplomacy," he said.
