The Biden administration is urging U.S. citizens in Belarus to depart the country immediately and warned against travel there in a statement published Monday.

The updated travel warning comes after bordering countries Lithuania, Latvia and Poland have stepped up security along the border over concerns about Russian Wagner mercenary forces exiled in the country.

The State Department, in its warning, encouraged Americans still in Belarus to depart the country immediately and categorized the country as a Level 4 risk, the highest security warning.

    I am just pointing out that there are other reasons to be there at this point in time that just support of the war.

      Very true, some just want to stay, I know a lot of Belarusian’s hate lukashinko and putin so they stay for their country. Hopefully the time comes when they can take it back just as Ukraine has been doing.
