America’s embassy in Kiev is reportedly considering packing up shop and relocating to the West of Ukraine over fears of a supposedly looming Russian attack, Buzzfeed has claimed.
In an article published on Monday, the American news site said that it had received information from “a source with knowledge of the talks” supposedly taking place among American diplomats in the Ukrainian capital, who are said to be mulling a move elsewhere as they “consider contingency plans for a possible Russian attack.”
“The west of Ukraine is bordered by allies, NATO and it doesn’t provide Russia [with] an easy strategic invasion,” the outlet wrote.
“While the embassy has not made any decisions on the matter, relocation to someplace in western Ukraine is actively being discussed,” BuzzFeed claimed, citing the unnamed source.
