Countries evacuate staff from embassies in Kyiv
Countries are evacuating staff from their embassies in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv as a Russian invasion appears increasingly imminent.
Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne announced on Sunday that she has instructed embassy staff in Kyiv to suspend operations and evacuate.
The decision follows a deterioration of the situation as Russia builds up troops along its border with Ukraine.
The embassy staff will move to a temporary office set up in Lviv in western Ukraine, near its border with Poland.
