The US embassy in Kyiv warned staff to shelter fearing a ‘significant air attack’ from Russia after Biden allowed Ukraine to fire long-range missiles deep into Russia.
‘The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has received specific information of a potential significant air attack on November 20,’ it said in a message on its website.
‘Out of an abundance of caution, the Embassy will be closed, and Embassy employees are being instructed to shelter in place.
‘The U.S. Embassy recommends U.S. citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced.’
The threat comes just days after Washington lifted the ban on Ukraine using long-range missiles supplied by the US to hit targets in Russia as Putin‘s forces begin to recover ground.
