The US embassy in Kyiv has received information of a potential significant air attack on Wednesday and will be closed, the US Department of State Consular Affairs said in a statement.
\n\u201cOut of an abundance of caution, the embassy will be closed, and embassy employees are being instructed to shelter in place,\u201d the department said in a statement published on the website of the US embassy in Kyiv.
\n\u201cThe US Embassy recommends US citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced.\u201d
\nThe warning comes a day after Ukraine used US ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory, taking advantage of newly granted permission from the outgoing administration of US President Joe Biden on the war\u2019s 1,000th day.
\nRussia had been warning the West for months that if Washington allowed Ukraine to fire US, British and French missiles deep into Russia, Moscow would consider those NATO members to be directly involved in the war in Ukraine.
\nRussian President Vladimir Putin said in October that Moscow will respond to Ukraine\u2019s strikes with US-made weapons deep into Russia.
\nOn Tuesday, Putin lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike in response to a broader range of conventional attacks, with nuclear risks rising amid the highest tensions between Russia and West in more than half a century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
