Closure of embassies in Kyiv due to threat: what the EU says

The European Commission commented on the decision by the embassies of several Western countries in Kyiv to suspend operations on November 20 due to security concerns.

European Commission Spokesman Peter Stano spoke about the situation, "European Pravda"reports.

Stano states that the national authorities of each country independently decide on the operations of their diplomatic missions in Ukraine based on available information.

At the same time, the Delegation of the European Union in Kyiv continues its work and is not taking additional security measures.

"I can only say that the EU Delegation is not implementing any additional specific security measures because we are already operating in an environment that is very high-risk. We see that Putin continues his aggression through large-scale attacks across Ukraine, so we are acting under these circumstances with the level of preparedness we currently have," the European Commission spokesman said.
