The decision announced by the Department of State cited ​the “threat of Russian military action.” The Ukrainians, however, have been more cautious in their assessment of the situation, with current and former national security and defense officials saying they don’t recognize Russia’s latest military buildup as anything out of the ordinary.

Did the threat of a large-scale war appear only now? These risks existed…they haven't become bigger. The excitement around them has grown.” Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said it has noted the US decision but felt it was too soon. “While we respect right of foreign nations to ensure safety & security of their diplomatic missions, we believe such a step to be a premature one & an instance of excessive caution,” tweeted Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oleh Nikolenko. “There is a lot of misinformation, manipulation, and fakes in the Ukrainian and international media to spread panic among Ukrainians and foreigners, scare business, undermine the economic and financial stability of our country. … It is important to soberly assess risks and remain calm,” he told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency. Another Ukrainian government official told BuzzFeed News that the US move risked causing confusion in Ukraine and could le
