Details
According to information, the department has singled out some Ukrainian territories as regions with a lower level of risk, due to the capabilities of air defense and remoteness from active combat zones.
From the fourth (do not travel) to the third level (consider your trip), the State Department lowered the risk for several regions of Ukraine: Volyn, Lviv, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Ternopil, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi and Zhytomyr.
At the same time, the department strongly recommends to all US citizens:
Closely monitor communications from the US government, local and international media for information on changes in security conditions and warnings about the need to shelter in place. The security situation in Ukraine remains unpredictable
Such changes were made by the department for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
