US closes Kyiv embassy as air attack warnings escalate for Americans in Ukraine

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv closed on Wednesday due to warnings of a potential significant air attack. Americans in Ukraine were advised to be ready to seek shelter immediately if an air alert is issued. Following the U.S. warning, the Italian and Greek embassies also closed, while the French embassy remained open but cautioned its citizens. This comes after Ukraine used U.S. missiles to strike a Russian arms depot. The situation remains tense, with ongoing Russian missile strikes and Ukraine's military actions. The U.S. embassy urged citizens to prepare for possible disruptions in electricity and water due to persistent attacks on civilian infrastructure.
