The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv closed on November 20 due to warnings of a potential major air attack. The embassy advised U.S. citizens to seek shelter if an air alert occurs. This closure follows President Joe Biden's decision to supply antipersonnel land mines to Ukraine. It also comes after the U.S. lifted restrictions on the use of long-range missiles against Russian targets. These developments mark a significant shift in U.S. military support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict.
