The Greek and Spanish embassies in Kyiv have closed to the public today following multiple air raid sirens activated in the Ukrainian capital overnight. The Greek Embassy cited 'security reasons' for its closure on Wednesday, while the Spanish Embassy made a similar decision after receiving information about a potential major airstrike on the city.
Both Greece and Spain, as NATO members, have taken precautionary measures in response to the escalating tensions in the region. The United States also issued a warning overnight regarding a possible large-scale Russian air attack on Kyiv, prompting the US embassy to advise its employees to shelter in place and urging American citizens to be prepared for immediate sheltering in case of an air alert.
The atmosphere in Kyiv was tense as the sound of drones and activated air defenses reverberated across the city, including its central areas. The closure of the Greek and Spanish embassies underscores the growing concerns over the security situation in Kyiv and the broader implications of the ongoing conflict.
