WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (forbes) - The United States and United Kingdom ordered troops to withdraw from Ukraine on Saturday who were stationed there to train Ukrainian forces, with a Russian invasion appearing increasingly imminent.

Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby said in a statement to Forbes 160 members of the Florida National Guard stationed at a training center in western Ukraine will be repositioned “elsewhere in Europe” (the withdrawal was first reported by Reuters).

About 80 U.S. Army Special Forces troops also stationed at the training center will remain in the country, officials told the New York Times.

Earlier on Saturday, the U.S. ordered most of its embassy staff in Kyiv to evacuate “due to the continued threat of Russian military action.”

U.K. Armed Forces Minister James Heappey said he was withdrawing about 30 U.K. troops deployed to train Ukrainian forces in the use of anti-tank missiles the U.K. has supplied, along with approximately 100 other military personnel helping with wider training efforts.

Heappey said in an interview with BBC there will be “no British troops in Ukraine if there is to be a conflict there,” adding they will be leaving the country over the course of the weekend.
