The State Department has issued a new travel advisory warning U.S. citizens to leave Belarus immediately.

"Due to Belarusian authorities' arbitrary enforcement of local laws and the risk of detention, continued facilitation of Russia's war against Ukraine, and the heightened volatility and unpredictable nature of the regional security environment, do not travel to Belarus," the advisory stated.

The main risks for U.S. citizens is "arbitrary detention," "poor conditions of detention," and "the possibility of closing border crossings without warning."
