US embassy closes office in Kiev due to fear of ‘possible air strike’

Ukraine is calling on its Western allies not to stoke tensions in the country after a series of embassies in Kiev announced they would close, citing the threat of a “massive airstrike” on the capital. The United States is leading the wave of closures, saying it is closing its Kiev office to the public after receiving “specific information regarding a possible significant airstrike.” Greece, Hungary, Italy and Spain – all NATO members – have followed suit.
