Ukraine's Capital Braces: US Embassy Shuts Amid Warning

The U. S. Embassy in Kyiv made the decision to stay closed on Wednesday after getting a heads-up about a possible big Russian air strike on the city. This move came right after President Joe Biden gave Ukraine the green light to hit targets in Russia using U. S. -made missiles, which didn't sit well with the Kremlin. The Russo-Ukrainian war, now in its 1, 000th day, has been seeing more international involvement lately, with North Korean soldiers joining the fight on Russia's side. In response, Biden changed his stance on using long-range missiles, and Putin decided to lower the bar for using nukes. Western leaders think this is just a scare tactic to stop Ukraine's allies from helping. Meanwhile, the U. S. Embassy expects to reopen soon, but there's worry that Russia might target Ukraine's power grid as winter rolls in. There's also talk about North Korea sending more weapons to Russia.
