US embassy in Kyiv closes over air strike threat while British mission remains open

The US embassy in Kyiv has temporarily closed due to specific information about a potential significant air attack. This decision follows the use of American-supplied missiles in strikes deep inside Russia. In contrast, the British embassy remains open, although it is operating with limited functions. The UK government is monitoring the situation closely and prioritizing the safety of its staff and citizens. The UK’s Science Secretary stated that the government is assessing the situation and maintaining good relations with Ukraine and the US. The embassy has not been providing in-person consular assistance recently.
