“The United States Embassy in Ukraine continues to monitor the situation with Russia in occupied Crimea and along Ukraine’s borders, where security conditions can change with little or no notice. “Level four - do not travel” remains in force for Crimea due to abuses by the Russian occupation authorities, as well as for the eastern parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions due to the armed conflict,” the Embassy website says.
