The US Embassy in Kyiv has issued a warning to citizens regarding the increased risk of attacks by Russia on the territory of Ukraine in the coming days, in particular during the celebration of Independence Day of Ukraine on August 24. According to the embassy's assessment, there is a significant probability of both night and day attacks using Russian drones and missiles.
The embassy urged all citizens to be especially careful these days, considering the possible threats. The message emphasizes the importance of observing safety measures, in particular:
- Follow the news in the local media in order to quickly receive information about the current situation and warnings.
- Determine places of shelter in advance, before the announcement of an air alert. It is important to know where the nearest shelters or safe places to hide in the event of a threat are.
- Seek shelter immediately in the event of an air alert. At the first sounds of the siren or receiving a message about danger, you should immediately take shelter in a safe place.
- Follow the instructions of Ukrainian officials and emergency services in the event of an emergency. It is important to listen carefully to the instructions and follow them immediately.
The US Embassy's warning indicates a high probability of an escalation of Russia's hostile actions during the holidays. Ukrainian citizens and guests of the country should remain alert and ready for possible emergency situations.
