Ukraine declared state of emergency

Ukraine has declared a nationwide emergency and told its citizens to leave Russia immediately, pointing to the threat of a Russian invasion, SİA reports.

Ukraine’s national security and defense council announced a state of emergency in all regions excluding Luhansk and Donetsk, which are partially controlled by the pro-Russian separatists.

Its spokesman said the 30-day state of emergency can be extended up to 60 days. The move, which is one step short of martial law, is subject to the Ukrainian parliament's approval.

The Ukrainian foreign ministry also said it is calling on citizens currently in Russia to leave “due to increased Russian aggression against Ukraine which, among other things, may lead to a significant restriction of the ability to provide consular assistance” to Ukrainians in Russia.
