America Urges its citizens to leave Russia immediately, Russia claims - US training terrorists to attack

The US has warned its citizens to leave Russia immediately. The US cited the war in Ukraine and the risk of arbitrary arrest and torture by Russian law enforcement agencies.

Russia's foreign spy service said Monday it had received intelligence that the US military was preparing Islamic terrorists to attack targets in Russia and the former Soviet Union. Both countries have made serious allegations against each other. 

America warned its citizens

The US Embassy in Moscow said, 'US citizens living in or traveling to Russia should leave immediately. Take precautions to avoid the risk of being wrongfully detained. Do not travel to Russia.'

America issued an alert

America has repeatedly warned its citizens to leave Russia. The last such public warning came in September last year, when President Vladimir Putin ordered a partial mobilization of the army.

American citizens are not getting a fair legal system

The US Embassy said, 'Russian security services have arrested American citizens on fabricated charges. US citizens are being targeted in Russia for detention and harassment.

They are being denied a fair and transparent legal system. He has been convicted without secret trial or production of credible evidence.

Russia implemented local law

'Russian authorities have arbitrarily applied local laws against American civilian religious activists. At the same time, suspicious criminal investigations have been initiated against American citizens engaged in religious activities. The Federal Security Service said in January this year that Russia had opened a criminal case against a US citizen on suspicion of espionage.
