Several Western embassies in Kyiv, including the U.S., announced their closure on Wednesday due to security reasons. The American delegation cited a warning of a potential Russian air attack on the Ukrainian capital as the reason for this precautionary measure.
The decision to keep the embassies closed came after President Joe Biden allowed Ukraine to target Russian sites with U.S.-made missiles, a move that drew ire from the Kremlin. The U.S. Embassy emphasized that the closure and attack warning were in response to ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, with plans to resume regular operations soon.
