The US embassy in Minsk, in an alert published on its website, has invited American citizens not to travel to Belarus.

The invitation was launched underlining the continued support that Minsk offers to Moscow in the Ukrainian conflict, the arbitrary implementation of laws by the government, the risk of riots and detention.

US citizens in the country were therefore urged to leave immediately, using the plane or one of the four crossings still open with Lithuania, after Vilnius closed two of them in recent days.
