Washington, Feb 13 (Sputnik) Poland has agreed to help US citizens leave Ukraine by simplifying the entry procedures, the US Embassy in Ukraine informs. “Poland has indicated to the U.S. government that U.S. citizens may now enter Poland through the land border with Ukraine. No advanced approval is required. We encourage those traveling into Poland by land from Ukraine to cross at the Korczowa-Krakovets or Medyka-Shehyni border crossings,” the US embassy said in a Saturday statement. According to the release, US citizens will need to present a valid US passport and proof of Covid-19 vaccination at the Polish border. “US citizens in Ukraine should be aware that the US government will not be able to evacuate U.S. citizens in the event of Russian military action anywhere in Ukraine,” the embassy emphasized, urging US citizens in Ukraine to “depart immediately using commercial or other privately available transportation options.” Earlier on Saturday, the US State Department said that the US was relocating some of its diplomatic personnel from the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, to the city of Lviv amid security concerns. Both Canada and Australia said they were suspending embassy operations in Kiev and opening temporary offices in Lviv amid the escalation of the Ukraine crisis.
