Canada is temporarily withdrawing the families of its diplomats from Ukraine due to a Russian military build-up on the country's borders, Reuters reported.

"Due to the ongoing Russian military buildup and destabilizing activities in and around Ukraine, we have decided to temporarily withdraw Canadian embassy staff’s children under 18 years of age and family members accompanying them," the Canadian foreign ministry said in a statement.

The U.S. State Department announced Sunday that it was ordering the diplomats' family members to leave Ukraine, saying that Russian military action could begin at any moment.
