Israel takes out the families of diplomats from Kiev and warns compatriots against trips to Ukraine. "The Foreign Ministry issued a warning about trips to Ukraine and announced the evacuation of the families of diplomats and envoys," the state television and radio corporation CAN reports.

At the same time, it is noted that the Foreign Ministry recommends that Israeli citizens living in Ukraine "in no case approach hot spots," and those who planned a trip to this country "refrain from it at the present time."

In January, the US State Department ordered the evacuation of the families of diplomats from Kiev. The UK followed suit and prepared to evacuate some of the British diplomats and their families.

Western states have recently expressed concern about Russia's alleged "aggression" near the borders of Ukraine and are threatening new sanctions. The administration of President Joe Biden, amid rhetoric about an "imminent invasion," has begun sending more troops to Europe. The Russian side has repeatedly stated that it is not going to attack anyone, and statements about "aggression" are used as a pretext to bring NATO's military infrastructure closer to Russia's borders, RIA Novosti reports.
