China and Kazakhstan are among the latest countries to call on their citizens to leave Ukraine, citing security reasons.
China's Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Embassy in Ukraine told its citizens to evacuate Ukraine Saturday "given the severe security situation."
The Chinese embassy said it will help evacuate and transfer those who need to leave.
Kazakhstan's Embassy in Ukraine also urged its citizens to leave and warned against travel to Ukraine "in light of intensifying attacks on civil infrastructure and government facilities," in a statement posted last week.
"For those still in the country, do not disregard the air-raid sirens, stay under cover and in bomb shelters," the embassy added.
Serbia closes its embassy: Serbia — which recommended its citizens leave the country back in February — has now closed its embassy in Kyiv for security reasons, according to a statement by the Serbian diplomatic mission in Ukraine Sunday.
A spokesperson said the move was temporary and that staff will work in Belgrade until it is safe to return.
