"(In Ukraine) U.S. citizens should leave immediately!" ”
On February 10, local time, US President Joe Biden issued a warning of "evacuation from Ukraine" in an interview with NBC. He also said the United States would not send troops to rescue americans in Ukraine because it could trigger a "world war."

"We're not dealing with a terrorist group, we're dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. It's a completely different situation, and things can go crazy in the blink of an eye. Biden told NBC host Lester Holt.
Lester Holt asked Biden "what would have forced him to send troops to help the Americans flee Ukraine."
Biden replied, "No troops." Because once the U.S. and Russian militaries open fire on each other, it will lead to a world war. He added that "we are now in a world very different from the past."
On February 6, 2022, local time, the situation at Fort Bragg in the United States, the Russian-Ukrainian border escalated, and soldiers of the US 82nd Airborne Division will be sent to bases near the Polish-Ukrainian border. The picture is from the surging image
But at the same time, Biden said Putin was "smart enough not to do anything that would adversely affect U.S. citizens."
Lester Holt asked him if he told Putin that "American citizens are a line that cannot be crossed." Biden said he didn't say exactly, but Putin knew it.
According to NBC, on the same day on the 10th, the US State Department also issued a "warning" that once there is a conflict on the Russian-Ukrainian border, the United States "will not be able to evacuate U.S. citizens in Ukraine", and the usual consular services will be seriously affected, suggesting that the Americans will evacuate as soon as possible.
In addition to issuing evacuation warnings, the United States has been constantly "arching" the situation in Russia and Ukraine recently.
On February 10, local time, Ukrainian Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov posted on social media that two more planes carrying U.S. weapons arrived in Kiev, and they brought various weapons, including the Javelin anti-tank missile system.

"Two more planes arrived in Kiev! 'Javelins', grenades and other defensive ammunition for the Ukrainian armed forces. The military aid from our U.S. partners that arrived today weighs nearly 130 tons. In total, we have received military assistance from 15 aircraft weighing more than 1,200 tons! There are still follow-ups. ”
Previously, two U.S. officials claimed on Feb. 5 that Russia already had about 70 percent of the combat capability needed to "fully invade" Ukraine; on Feb. 6, U.S. Ann adviser Sullivan rushed through three anti-Russian propaganda campaigns a day, saying that Russia could "invade" Ukraine in a matter of days or weeks.
Russia has repeatedly denied this category of well-intentioned accusations of "invasion", which never intended to attack anyone, and the claim of "Russian invasion" was used as an excuse to deploy more NATO military equipment near Russia's borders.
On February 7, local time, Russian Kremlin spokesman Eskov issued a warning, accusing the United States and Western countries of constantly "destabilizing the situation." He said the West's allegations of "Russian invasion of Ukraine" were "futile and baseless" and a strategy for Western countries to escalate tensions. He stressed that "Russia does not pose any threat to anyone".
Even some US media bluntly said that the recent US government has repeatedly accused Russia of planning "invasion" operations, but refused to provide any information when questioned, which is tantamount to depleting Washington's already few "credibility reserves".
