Moscow-agencies :
The United States urged its citizens not to travel to Russia and immediately leave its territory, the US embassy in Moscow said in a statement published on its website on Monday.
The statement said: "Do not travel to Russia because of the unpredictable consequences" of the conflict in Ukraine, the likelihood of arbitrary arrest or "harassment" by Russian law enforcement agencies.
"U.S. citizens residing in or traveling to Russia should leave immediately.. You have to be extra careful because of the possibility of arrests without legal grounds,"he said.
According to the statement, Russia may "refuse to recognize the US citizenship of dual citizens, block their access to US consular assistance, subject to mobilization, prevent their departure from Russia, and/or recruit them".
The US Embassy issued a similar warning on September 28 last year, urging its citizens to leave Russia as long as "there are still opportunities to do so".
