IF I were a diplomat in Ukraine my family would have already been gone.
Heck. We already gave the Russians permission to invade, we better pull em out!
True enough, but government funded evacuation brings other benefits to the families to cover their expenses while away from post. My family was evacuated twice during my career. These evacuations can be prolonged and expensive.
This is all being carefully orchestrated, unlike Afghanistan. Putin is not going kill diplomats or their families.
Has anyone asked the Ukrainian’s opinions?
