Ukraine tensions: Why this US English teacher is staying in Kyiv, for now

President Joe Biden has issued a warning that all US citizens remaining in Ukraine should leave the country immediately, citing increased threats of Russian military action.

Juan Tec is a US citizen originally from California and now teaches English at a school in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. He told BBC World News why he has decided to stay in the country for now.
