Americans are warned about possible danger during visiting Ukraine in August
Diplomats remind: the places of large crowds of people often become targets of extremists.
The Embassy of the USA in Ukraine warns Americans that the possible danger exists in the territory of Ukraine in August related to the increased activity of extremists before and during the holidays. The appropriate message was published on the official website of the diplomatic institution.
“Holidays and days on their eve may become their target. For example, in August it could be the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha (Kurban-Bayram — ed.) 11-12 of August and Independence Day of Ukraine (24 of August), ” — noted in the message.
Diplomats recalled that attacks usually occur in crowded places: at public events, rallies, in nightclubs and other places of large crowds.
In this regard, the Embassy urges to avoid demonstrations, follow the news and be especially vigilant in places where there are many tourists.
In January, the US State Department published the country’s annual security ranking, in which Ukraine was marked with alarming yellow — that is, foreigners should be especially careful while visiting the country.
