The US embassy in Kyiv has suspended operations after receiving warnings of a potential significant air attack. Employees are advised to shelter in place, coinciding with heightened tensions following Ukraine’s use of US-supplied ATACMS missiles against Russian territory. Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, have condemned the strikes and stated that they escalate the conflict, with Russia indicating a willingness to respond with nuclear threats. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautioned that US military funding cuts could jeopardize Ukraine’s position in the war.
