The United States Embassy in Minsk issued a call urging Americans to leave Belarus immediately.
"Do not travel to Belarus because of arbitrary law enforcement, the risk of detention, and the unusual and concerning Russian military buildup along Belarusian border with Ukraine, COVID-19, and related entry restrictions," the US Embassy statement said on its website.
"US citizens in Belarus must depart immediately by commercial or private means," the US embassy said.
