US Embassy in Kyiv temporarily closed due to warnings of a potential Russian air attack.

The US Embassy in Kyiv temporarily closed on November 20 due to a warning of a potential significant Russian air attack. The embassy instructed employees to shelter in place and advised US citizens to prepare for immediate shelter in case of an air alert. This came after Ukraine used US-supplied long-range missiles to strike Russian territory, with Putin lowering the threshold for a nuclear response to conventional attacks. The closure highlights escalating tensions and fears of broader conflict.
