Details:The embassy encouraged US citizens in Ukraine to exercise "heightened caution" due to the "increased threats from Russian missiles and drones targeting Ukraine's critical civilian infrastructure."

All US citizens should heed the Ukrainian government's warnings about possible aerial attacks and keep an eye on the reliable Air Alert app on their mobile devices.

Citizens of the United States should follow any government curfews, respond swiftly to instructions, and seek cover during an air raid.

Diplomats urged citizens to choose shelter places ahead of time, before an air raid warning is issued, and follow the instructions of Ukrainian officials and first responders in the event of an emergency.

Background: 

• The US urged its citizens in Ukraine to exercise maximum caution due to the risk of a large-scale airstrike by Russia on 20 November, with the US Embassy switching to remote operations.
• Following the United States, the Spanish Embassy later announced its closure, and for security reasons, the embassies of Greece and Italy also decided to shut down temporarily.
• Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the shift to remote work by the US Embassy and some other foreign diplomatic missions in Ukraine as "information overreaction".
