The US Embassy in Kyiv denied reports that it had evacuated the capital following Russian threats of new strikes. The embassy’s statement followed comments by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, who said at a briefing on Thursday that all embassies had remained in Kyiv “except one.”JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “All European embassies stayed, America left,” Kallas said before a meeting of EU foreign ministers, referring to recent Russian warnings on Monday about further strikes on Kyiv and calls for foreign diplomats to leave the city. The US embassy later issued a statement on X denying reports that it had evacuated staff. “The U.S. Embassy is open. There are no changes to our operations and reports otherwise are false,” the embassy said. The embassy added that the State Department regularly reviews security conditions and reiterated guidance advising US citizens not to travel to Ukraine. Kyiv rejects claims Ukraine’s foreign ministry also said reports of a US evacuation were incorrect. “Information about the departure of the US Embassy is not true,” foreign ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi told journalists. Presidential adviser Dmytro Lytvyn said the remarks may have referred to a temporary relocation of some US personnel before a recent strike. “Perhaps it referred to the circumstances before the strike on Sunday night. We heard that American diplomats temporarily left Kyiv at that time,” Lytvyn said.
