Americans in Russia or planning to travel there may be drafted into the army, the U.S. Embassy in Russia warned Monday.
The Kremlin could subject American citizens with dual Russian citizenship to “mobilization” or “prevent their departure from Russia and/or conscript them,” according to the new travel advisory.
The warning blames the “unpredictable consequences” of Russia’s “full-scale invasion” of Ukraine that started nearly a year ago and continues to escalate.
Russia’s been flustered by the U.S. and its allies, who continue to fund Ukraine’s defense. A spending bill passed by congress in December provides $50 billion in aide.
U.S. citizens in Russia are at risk of being targeted for harassment, detained and “arbitrary enforcement of local law,” according to the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Russia.
