The Spanish Embassy in kyiv has stopped providing services due to a possible Russian air attack in the Ukrainian capital, as reported by Agencia EFE.

The United States Embassy has also made this decision, as reported by the US Department of State of Consular Affairs.

“The US Embassy in kyiv received specific information of a possible significant airstrike on November 20. The Embassy will remain closed and recommends that American citizens be prepared to take shelter immediately in the event that an air alert is announced,” reads a statement published on its profile on the social network X.

This announcement comes a day after Ukraine used long-range US missiles to attack Russian territory, after the Joe Biden Administration recently gave permission to Ukrainian authorities after a thousand days of war.
