In ancient times a major part of present-day Ukraine was inhabited by the Scythians (see Scythia), who were later displaced by the Sarmatians (see Sarmatia). Early in the Christian era, a series of invaders (Goths, Huns, Avars) overran the Ukrainian steppes, and in the 7th cent. the Khazars included much of Ukraine in their empire. The Ukrainians themselves can be traced to Neolithic agricultural tribes in the Dnieper and Dniester valleys.

American citizens resident in Ukraine have therefore been urged to avoid areas affected by demonstrations and political rallies and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. Citizens have ... been urged to assess the impact of these demonstrations might have on personal traffic and transportation needs. There are reports that certain inter-city travel in Ukraine is now restricted, and that buses and trains to Kiev have been canceled. Tickets are not being sold for certain scheduled departures. The Department reminds American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. Given the fluidity of the situation in Ukraine at this time, and the difficulties reported with inter-city travel, the Department urges American citizens both within Ukraine and without to defer all discretionary travel plans, particularly to and within Kiev.
