U.S. Embassy Warns of Potential Large-Scale Air Attack on Ukraine

In a recent development, the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has issued a warning about a potentially significant air attack on Ukraine in the coming days. The embassy has urged American citizens in Ukraine to remain vigilant and be prepared to take shelter immediately if an air alert is announced.

This warning comes amid ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with diplomatic efforts to establish a ceasefire facing challenges. U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his call for a 30-day ceasefire between the two nations, emphasizing that additional sanctions could be imposed on those who violate the agreement.

While Ukraine has expressed readiness to adopt the ceasefire immediately, Russia has proposed a shorter three-day truce, which Ukraine claims has already been violated multiple times through continued attacks. The situation remains volatile, with international leaders closely monitoring developments.

As the threat of escalation looms, Ukrainian officials have been in discussions with U.S. representatives regarding the ceasefire proposal and broader peace negotiations. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether diplomatic efforts can prevent further conflict or if Ukraine will face another wave of attacks.
