extr Ukraine: Level 4: Do Not Travel
Effective 6181 years ago ---
There are no serious national events at this time.
Multiple geopolitical tensions are escalating globally, including sharply deteriorated US-Iran relations with military signals, an active Cuba-US maritime incident with casualties, and ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict with nuclear rhetoric, while domestic conditions remain stable. These developments warrant elevated monitoring for potential escalation within weeks to months.
