The US embassy in Moscow has issued a security alert and urged American citizens to leave Russia immediately, Qazet.az reports.

In a statement on its website, the US embassy said dual Russian-US nationals may be called up as part of the Russian government’s mobilisation in support of its invasion of Ukraine.

It said:

Russia may refuse to acknowledge dual nationals’ U.S. citizenship, deny their access to U.S. consular assistance, prevent their departure from Russia, and conscript dual nationals for military service.
