US Embassy closes Kiev office over fears of ‘potential air attack’

Ukraine is calling on its Western allies not to stoke tensions within the country after a number of embassies in Kyiv announced their closure, citing the threat of a “massive air attack” on the capital. The US is leading the wave of closures, saying it is closing its Kiev office to the public after receiving “specific information about a potential serious air attack.” Greece, Hungary, Italy and Spain – all NATO members – followed suit.
