The US government had no plans to evacuate its citizens from Yemen despite bombardments and fighting in the country.
The US practically abandoned its citizens, telling them no help would come. But some, like the RT TV crew on the ground in Sanaa, couldn't leave civilians behind — so they turned to the Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry for help.
On April 22 and 23, Russia helped nearly 500 people evacuate Yemen, including dozens of US citizens.
