Australia’s embassy staff and officials have been told to leave Ukraine, according to a statement from Foreign Minister Marise Payne.
The country’s embassy and operations in the Ukrainian city of Lviv are temporarily closed, the minister said.
Staff have been sent to Romania and eastern Poland to help Australians trying to leave Ukraine.
It comes after the US similarly relocated its diplomats from Lviv to Poland, citing the security situation.
