The U.S. issued a similar order Sunday, warning: 'military action by Russia could come at any time.'
The United States ordered its diplomats' family members to leave Ukraine on Sunday.
"The Department of State made the decision to authorize departure from Mission Ukraine out of an abundance of caution due to continued Russian efforts to destabilize the country and undermine the security of Ukrainian citizens and others visiting or residing in Ukraine," the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine said in a statement.
"Military action by Russia could come at any time and the United States government will not be in a position to evacuate American citizens in such a contingency, so U.S. citizens currently present in Ukraine should plan accordingly," the embassy's statement said. The decision comes amid concerns of mounting conflict with Russia, which has increased troops near its border with Ukraine, prompting concerns among some countries that they plan to invade; though Russia has denied claims that they plan to attack Ukraine.
