US Embassy in Kyiv remains closed due to threat of Russian air attacks

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv will remain closed due to warnings of a significant Russian air attack. This decision follows President Biden's policy shift allowing Ukraine to strike targets in Russia, which has angered Russian officials. Tensions have escalated as North Korean troops reportedly assist Russia in the conflict. In response, President Putin has lowered the threshold for potential nuclear use, indicating a possible nuclear response to conventional attacks supported by nuclear powers. Ukraine has conducted strikes on military targets in Russia, including a factory in Belgorod and an arsenal in Novgorod. The U.S. Embassy's closure is part of ongoing precautions amid Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv.
