Temporary closure and The warning from the US Embassy in Kyiv is not connected with the Kremlin's increased nuclear rhetoric.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Suspilne.
American diplomats have received information about the threat of missile and drone attacks on the capital of Ukraine.
«The closure of the embassy is due to air raid alerts, including an increase in the possible threat of a combined attack with drones and missiles, as happened recently. We continue to monitor the situation, cooperating with Ukrainian partners,— the statement says.
It is noted that US citizens are advised to do the following: monitor local media, identify shelter locations before any air raid alert, take shelter immediately if an air raid alert is declared, and follow the instructions of the Ukrainian government.
At the same time, the media source added that the increased security measures are not related to Russia lowering the nuclear threshold.
«As State Department spokesman Matt Miller said, since the beginning of his aggressive war against Ukraine, he has sought to coerce and intimidate both Ukraine and other countries around the world with irresponsible nuclear rhetoric. We have seen no basis for adjusting our own nuclear posture, but we will continue to call on Russia to cease its bellicose and irresponsible rhetoric», — an unnamed American diplomat explained.
At the same time, it became known that the bookmaker that predicted Trump's victory began accepting bets on the probability of a nuclear explosion.
