US citizens urged to leave Belarus immediately

The Biden administration is urging U.S. citizens in Belarus to depart the country immediately and warned against travel there in a statement published Monday.

The updated travel warning comes after bordering countries Lithuania, Latvia and Poland have stepped up security along the border over concerns about Russian Wagner mercenary forces exiled in the country.

The State Department, in its warning, encouraged Americans still in Belarus to depart the country immediately and categorized the country as a Level 4 risk, the highest security warning.

Muscovy

What year is it? Why do you libs do this shit where you think it's clever using dumb names? Is that an 'own' or something?

Not sure if you want an actual answer, but the name "Russia" originally comes from "Kievan Rus", and Kyiv is in ... Ukraine. Renaming it to Muscovy (original name of the country) is then symbolically taking the name back.

Why you so butthurt? You ain't a Ruskie are you?

That's a weird way to see the world, dude.
