UKRAINE WAR: Alert in Kiev! Ukrainians expect massive bombing of the capital Some Western embassies in Kiev were closed on Wednesday for security reasons. The US mission in the Ukrainian capital announced that it had received a warning of a possible major Russian air attack. As a result, the embassy would remain closed as a precaution. The staff had been instructed to seek shelter, the embassy said. It also recommended that US citizens in Kiev make preparations to get to safety immediately in the event of an air raid warning. The warning was issued against the backdrop of ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks on Kiev. However, the US embassy said it was assuming that it would be able to resume normal operations quickly. The Italian and Greek embassies later announced that they were also closed on Wednesday. The British government said the mission would remain open. Observers viewed the specific US announcement as unusual, especially since Russian air strikes occur almost daily in Ukraine. On Tuesday, Russia reported that Ukraine had fired several US-made ATACMS missiles at the Russian border region of Bryansk. The outgoing US administration of President Joe Biden had previously allowed Kyiv to use longer-range American-made missiles to attack targets in Russia. According to US sources, Biden felt compelled to change course because of the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia for combat missions against the Ukrainian army. Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin said in September that if Western countries allowed Ukraine to use such weapons against targets deep in Russia, "it would mean that NATO countries - the US, European countries - were at war with Russia." If this were the case, the essence of the conflict would change and Russia would make appropriate decisions. #weltnetzreporter #ukraine #russia #war Subscribe to the WELT Netzreporter Channel / dienetzreporter WELT Nachrichtensender Channel / weltvideotv WELT DOKU Channel / weltdoku WELT Podcast Channel / weltpodcast The WELT news livestream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT Nachrichtensender on Instagram https://bit.ly/IGWELTTV WELT on Instagram http://bit.ly/2X1M7Hk On our own behalf: Due to the high volume of irrelevant and offensive posts, we are currently unable to allow any more comments.
