U.S. Embassy in Kyiv remains closed due to threat of Russian air attack
The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv will remain closed on Wednesday due to a warning of a potential Russian air attack. This decision follows President Biden's policy shift allowing Ukraine to strike targets in Russia with U.S.-made missiles, angering the Kremlin. In addition to the U.S. Embassy, the Italian and Greek embassies also closed for security reasons, while the U.K. Embassy stayed open. The situation escalated as North Korean troops reportedly joined Russian forces, prompting concerns over increased military tensions. Ukraine has conducted strikes on Russian targets, including a factory in Belgorod and an arsenal in Novgorod. Meanwhile, Russia has been stockpiling long-range missiles, potentially preparing for intensified attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure as winter approaches.
