More than a dozen countries have urged their citizens to leave Ukraine amid warnings from Western powers that an invasion by Russia could be imminent, APA reports citing BBC.
The US, UK and Germany are among those who told their nationals to leave.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky objected, saying invasion warnings could stoke panic, which he called "the best friend of our enemies".
Moscow has amassed an estimated 100,000 troops along Ukraine's border but denies any intent to invade.
The White House has warned that an invasion could happen at any time, and could begin with bombing from the air. Russia characterised such allegations as "provocative speculation".
President Zelensky of Ukraine said that if Western powers had any firm evidence of an impending invasion, he had yet to see it.
"I think there is too much information in the media about a deep, full-scale war," he said.
"We understand all the risks, we understand that they exist. If you or someone else has additional 100% reliable information about the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine... please share it with us."
