Tomorrow will mark a full six months since Russia launched war against Ukraine. This war hasn't panned out nearly as well for Russia as it expected.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin thought his troops would go in and take Ukraine within a few days. However, Ukrainians held their ground and continue to fiercely fight back in defense of their homeland.

A major asset to Ukraine has been the weapons and money sent to the country from the West. Still, the war is far from over. Putin, per multiple reports, has no intention of willingly backing down or recalling his troops.

However, the US Embassy in Ukraine has recently issued a very important warning to American citizens.

Leave while you still can

On its official website, the US Embassy in Ukraine put out an alert that Russian forces remain anticipated to launch attacks against key points in Ukraine.

Therefore, it's in the interests of Americans not to be in the country when this happens. Some US citizens previously visited Ukraine to show solidarity for what the nation's people are going through; however, those who don't leave now may have trouble getting out later.

Tomorrow will also mark Ukraine's Independence Day; this is the anniversary of the nation dodging dominion under the Soviet Union. Although because of anticipated attacks from Russians, Ukraine is now barring its people from gathering at the nation's capitol to celebrate.

More on Ukraine

Earlier today, news broke that the White House is preparing to send $3 billion over to Ukraine. Apparently, these funds exist for Ukraine to train its military now and in the future.

Since this war began, Ukraine's been forced to pull out all stops. Russia relied on being a bigger nation than Ukraine as helping them in this war; yet, the spirit of Ukrainians, coupled with support from the West, is giving Russia a run for its money.

Additionally, Russia remains on the receiving end of sanctions that are expected to intensify. Already, numerous businesses have ceased all operations in Russia as a means of opposing the nation's choice to wage war against the sovereign country that is Ukraine.
