The closure of the US Embassy in Kiev on November 20 was associated with the threat of a combined Russian blow using drones and missiles, and not because of Russia's statements about changing nuclear doctrine. This was reported by sources in the diploma.
According to the representative of the embassy, the decision was made due to the increased probability of air attack.
At the same time, the sources have denied the assumption of closing with Russia's recent statements to change nuclear doctrine and reduce the threshold for nuclear weapons.
The US Embassy, as well as the Embassy of Spain and Italy in Kiev, temporarily stopped working after receiving information about a possible major attack on November 20. Earlier the Air Force of the Armed Forces reported intense shelling of Ukraine:
- In the period from the evening of November 19, the Russians released 122 Shahd and drones of unidentified type.
- In addition, the C-300 and 5-managed X-59/69 Aviation missiles and 5 managed aviation missiles.
- The Ukrainian forces destroyed 56 drones and 2 rockets.
The US diplomatic mission called for its citizens to monitor the news, to know the location of the closest shelters and to go down immediately in the case of air alarm.
