[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] As tensions escalate between Russia and Ukraine, the United States has relocated personnel from its embassy in Ukraine to Poland, with local diplomats reportedly commuting between Poland and Ukraine.

Ned Price, spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, stated on the 23rd (local time), "Some diplomats remaining in Ukraine are sleeping in Poland, their temporary residence, and commuting to Lviv, Ukraine."

The U.S. government announced on the 21st that due to the worsening situation in Ukraine, U.S. diplomats would move to Poland for safety reasons and spend the night there. This comes one week after relocating the embassy from the capital Kyiv to western Lviv on the 14th.

Spokesperson Price said, "U.S. diplomats will continue this arrangement as long as the security environment permits," adding, "Americans wishing to leave Ukraine can receive emergency consular services locally."

He also emphasized, "Wherever U.S. diplomats are, America's commitment to Ukraine remains unchanged, and the partnership with Kyiv will not weaken."
