🚨 Western Embassies Pack Up in Kyiv! 🚨
Spain, Italy, and Greece have joined the U.S. in shutting down their embassies in Kyiv after warnings of a \"significant attack\" from Russia. 😱 Washington claims to have \"specific information\" about a possible strike and has advised embassy staff to be ready to seek shelter. The U.S. Department of State Consular Affairs said they're closing the Kyiv embassy \"out of an abundance of caution.\" 🛡️
Meanwhile, France and the UK are keeping their diplomatic bases open. French citizens have been urged to stay alert, and the UK says the situation is \"under constant review.\" Germany's embassy in Kyiv remains open but with limited capacity, ready to take \"appropriate measures if the situation changes.\" 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇩🇪
Ukraine's military intelligence is firing back, accusing Russia of launching a \"massive information-psychological attack\" with fake messages about a possible missile strike. 📰💥
This all comes just hours after Ukraine reportedly fired U.S.-supplied longer-range missiles into Russian territory for the first time, marking the 1000th day of the conflict. Ukraine claims it \"successfully struck\" a Russian military command post in Russia's Belgorod region, about 168 km from the border. 🎯🌍
Adding fuel to the fire, outgoing U.S. President Biden has granted Ukraine permission to use these weapons to strike targets inside Russia, allegedly in response to the deployment of thousands of troops from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Russia's eastern flank. 😳🌐 Sergei Naryshkin, head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, warned that this move by NATO allies \"will not go unpunished.\" ⚠️
The tension is real, amigos! Stay tuned as this story unfolds. 🌟
