On Twitter, the US State Department also warned Americans not to travel to Moldova.

Amid tensions over Ukraine, the United States said yesterday it was closing its embassy in Kyiv and relocating a small number of its staff to the western city of Lviv, near the Polish border, where it will provide limited consular services to US citizens and communicate with the Ukrainian government.
