The American authorities believe that the embassy in Ukraine should be moved from Kiev to the western part of the country. They justify their decision by the same imaginary Russian invasion.
This is reported by the Strana.ua edition, citing BuzzFeed. The American portal about this from a source close to the discussion of this topic.
The informant said that now the diplomatic mission is considering western Ukraine as a new location. But so far this topic is only under discussion. This information was once again confirmed by the State Department of the United States, which answered the question of journalists that “at the moment there is nothing to report.” At the same time, the US Embassy still does not perform most of the consular services.
Lviv is clearly counting on being the new center in the event of a supposed Russian invasion. Mayor Andrei Sadovoy has declared his readiness to accept refugees, but admits that the city will not be able to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
