Biden tells ALL Americans to leave Ukraine now – ‘Things could go crazy quickly’

He said: “American citizens should leave now.

“It’s not like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization.

“We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world.

“It’s a very different situation, and things could go crazy quickly.”

Separately on Thursday The State Department issued a warning that the US “will not be able to evacuate U.S. citizens in the event of Russian military action anywhere in Ukraine”.

It also warned that consulate services including assisting US citizens leaving the country could be “severely impacted”.

Mr Biden also indicated that there wasn’t any situation where he could envisage sending troops to help Americans fleeing Ukraine.
