Derp: State Dept. Warns Against Ukraine Travel, Promotes Ukraine Travel
Just three days after the State Department issued a travel warning for Ukraine, it began promoting a campaign urging Americans to visit the country, prompting confusion and concern from some foreign policy observers.
The State Department issued a Ukraine travel warning on March 21 warning "U.S. citizens to defer all non-essential travel to Ukraine and to defer all travel to the Crimean Peninsula and eastern regions of Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Lugansk due to the presence of Russian military forces in the Crimean Peninsula, and in Russia near the Ukrainian border."
Three days after that warning was issued the State Department's official Twitter feed disseminated an official video promoting travel to Ukraine and arguing that all is safe for tourists.Also read:
