Following reports of a “massive air attack on Kyiv” and Ukraine as a whole, the Spanish Embassy in Kyiv decided to temporarily close on November 20.

The Embassy sent e-mails to Spanish citizens living in Ukraine, urging them to take extraordinary security measures, follow all recommendations of local authorities and take shelter.

Following Spain, Italy also announced the closure of its embassy. The reasons are the same: the threat of missile and drone strikes: “The US Embassy has posted on its website information about a possible high-intensity air attack today, November 20. As a precautionary measure, the Embassy in Kyiv will be closed to visitors today”.

The Greek Embassy also suspends its work in Kyiv: “For security reasons, the Greek Embassy will remain closed to the public today. Please avoid traveling and stay in safe places”.
