The US has pulled some 150 troops who were training Ukrainian soldiers out of the country, citing an abundance of caution. And Dutch airline KLM announced it would stop flying to Ukraine, effective immediately, Dutch media said.

Many countries, including Australia, Italy, Israel, the Netherlands and Japan have told their citizens to leave Ukraine. Some have also evacuated diplomatic staff and their families.

Russia itself is also making changes, saying it will "optimise the staffing" of its diplomats in Ukraine, citing "possible acts of provocation by the Kyiv regime or third countries".

Canada is also moving its embassy staff to Lviv, near the border with Poland, Canadian media reported. UK ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons tweeted that she and a "core team" are staying in Kyiv.

Allies seem to be leaving Ukraine to their fate... No country seems to want combat confrontation with Russia.

Some nairaland America worshippers will give you another reason why US is pulling out.
There problem is they listen too much to western propaganda. You must balance both the western propaganda and the other side's propaganda to know who is lagging behind. America of yesterday is not the one of today.
Americans that are on social media instead of being in their labs. Haven't you seen how countries are upgrading technologies faster than the American.
The US is lagging behind and their press is just covering for them.

Why is USA pulling out their mentally disabled troops from Ukraine? Some shameless nairalanders here claim USA troops are demigods equipped with "secret" weapons ready to "test" it on new enemies. This is the perfect opportunity for them to test their secret weapons and they're pulling out while putin hasn't even said he's invading? Which kind fear be this? Is it because they know they will suffer a humiliating, and sound defeat in the hands of the strongmen from Russia?

America hired thousands of Nazi scientists after the USSR defeated Germany. If you go to America today, it is Indians, Chinese, black Africans etc that help them to research technologies. The average American is way, way dumber than black south Africans. Nothing dey their skulls

America is only carrying out technical monoveur , when the chips are down action will start, it was the same way they did with Germany before the second world war , let Russia try and misbehave it will suffer at long last, the world is watching them as they are obviously the aggressors , when the world unite against them , they won't win the battle.

Which world is United against them?

Ur Head is not correct.

Right now the Ukrainian leadership will be urging their people on to fight to the last man while they have made all arrangements to flyout with their families on exile to distance countries should Russia strike hard. If I were one of the commoners I won't fight but run away to safety and survive the war.

The US still remain the strongest military in the world. But they need to pull out their troops and citizens from Ukraine. They are doing this, not because they are afraid of Russia, but to avoid direct confrontation with Russia which can lead to a nuclear war. So one can say the US is just trying to avoid a world war.

For me it is a good move.

They're trying to avoid, because they don't want a war with Russia. It's fear, no matter how you try to paint it. If it was another country that was doing this, USA would've sent troops. When china threatened Taiwan, USA and Britain just moved 3 aircraft carriers to the south China sea and even claimed they will defend Taiwan. Defending Taiwan against China would mean war. USA knows this but are willing to go to war with China over Taiwan. Same USA, you claim, isn't willing to go to war with Russia. Fir what reasons exactly? I think it is fear. Simple

It is not fear. How sensible it is for the US get involved in a world war that could kill thousands (or even millions) of its citizens, all because of a non-NATO member (Ukraine). Nuclear war will bring heavy destruction to Russia, US, Europe & every other countries. So it is not fear. They are just trying to safe our planet.

The real fear is Russia making a noise about War and show of force. They should go ahead and hit first, and see what will befall them.

When you’re comparing Russia’s military chest, make sure the comparison is with NATO and not the US because NATO is the one to defend Ukraine, not the US, the US will be there for backup together with its own Allie’s.

The noise Russians (Puttin, Lavrov e.t.c) are making is that they have no plan to invade Ukraine. They have saying this from day one. It is the West that are talking about invasion not Russia.

Ukraine is not a NATO member. So it is on it's own. The US and some NATO members have sent weapon to Ukraine and also have military instructors training Ukrainian soldiers as we speak. They have also promise to sanction Russia. So they are doing what they can do. As per defending Ukraine, that will not happen.

If they want to defend Ukraine, they would have deployed troops to Ukraine, the same way they have deployed troops to some NATO members in that region. So it is not going to happen

They have no plan, but they’re moving their Military in their numbers to Ukraine borders. You think NATO will fall for such childish talk, so when they invade Ukraine unaware, they will have something to boast of.

Is the US government the only one reporting the deployment of Russian troops or the whole of EUROPE Is the US government the only one’s calling for their citizens to leave Ukraine or the whole world as it is So those countries in your tiny little mind, don’t have intelligence In your tiny little mind, only Russia knows what they’re up to, and you want the rest of the world to sit back and watch them??

If them Born Putin well, make he go full offensive on Ukraine. NATO will always defend Ukraine wether they’re a member or not, so far as they are in Europe.

There’s a body that doesn’t want the region destabilize, and the only backup Russia has against NATO is China, of which those ones know not to get involved, else the US comes in.

Lol! Firstly China won't suppose Russia militarily if war breaks out. I am sure you have not been listening to news. US have started pulling it's troop out of Ukraine. 150 was pulled out today. UK is doing the same thing. Infact UK have decided to pull it entire troops (instructors) out of Ukraine.

Please do the mathematics in your head. Visit News media sites. Watch CNN, BBC, Aljazeera e.t.c for updates.

Kindly check Aljazeera, CNN, BBC, France 24, WOIN, RTV to confirm this. If i have time, i will send the screenshot to you.

They were not there for any military activities besides training Ukrainian military, so it is only normal that they leave at this time. The 3k Troops US sent to backup NATO is what? And another 8,500 on standby.

NATO will defend Ukraine for the purpose of stabilizing Europe, and US will support NATO In doing so. At the end, Russia will lose, because China can’t help them.

The joint statement from Xi and Putin at the start of the Winter Olympics is what

Like I said, Russia will know whats coming when they invade Ukraine.

Do you know what is means for US fight Russia? Do u knw what nuclear war is?

Well,the troops that have been deployed so far is far less to what Russia has assembled at the border. Russia has more 130,000 troops at the border compare with less than 8000 that the US has been deployed. If you do ur maths right. You will see that those troops are not deployed to fight. Besides US only deployed troops & they didn't deploy weapons. Tanks, artillery e.t.c were not deployed. Are their soldiers going to fight the Russians with guns. Common on bro!

The US deployment of troops is signal to NATO members that the US takes their security serious.

How old are you? You sound like a kid with this BS.

Russia does not have a quarter of US war chest, so they will not attempt it in their lifetime. Go check the military budget of the US for a year and compare that to Russia’s whole government budget for a year.

When you’re done, learn to stop reading backwards.

Old enough to be your teacher. The deployment of military hardware takes time. So if the US want to defend Ukraine. They would have deployed their military equipments and troops to Ukraine territory by now. If they are waiting for Russia to fire the first shot. The war will be over before they finish deploying their military equipments.

Like i said Russia has mentioned it several times that it has no plan to invade Ukraine. They even mentioned it during the UN meeting. But the Western leaders and media are the ones talking about invasion. Russia even the said the 30000 troops deployed to Belarus will leave after the 10-day exercise.

The same way the West said, "when you invite Russians to your home. It will be hard to get them to leave". Anthony Blinken said this when Russia deploy its troops to Kazakhstan last few weeks. But today Russian troops have left the country.

So the Western leaders and media needs to calm down.
