Bloomberg: US diplomats ordered to leave Ukraine for Poland

The interlocutors of the agency specify that the representatives of the diplomatic mission will stay in a hotel on the Polish-Ukrainian border. At the same time, it is not excluded that they will be able to return to Ukraine today, February 22, if the US State Department considers the situation stabilized.

Recall that the day before, after a televised address to the Russians, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the LPR and DPR and cooperation agreements with these republics. After that, the permanent representatives of the European Union announced the beginning of the procedure for preparing targeted sanctions against Moscow on February 22, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the country would remain within "internationally recognized borders."

Today it became known about the entry of Russian troops into the territory of Donbass. Following this, Washington announced sanctions against Moscow.
