Operations at the US embassy in Minsk have been suspended and non-emergency employees and family members are authorized to voluntarily depart the US embassy in Moscow, Secretary of State Blinken said in a statement on Monday.

"We took these steps due to security and safety issues stemming from the unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces in Ukraine," Blinken said.
