President Vladimir Putin informed his US counterpart that Moscow will respond to Ukrainian attacks on Russian strategic airbases
The US embassy in Kiev has advised Americans to heed air-raid sirens and shelter appropriately, warning of “a continued risk of significant air attacks,” in a new security alert issued on Wednesday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin “did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond” to recent Ukrainian attacks on airfields hosting Russian strategic bombers, US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday evening, revealing details of their unannounced conversation that day.
The US State Department issued the security alert just hours earlier, advising Americans currently in Ukraine to “identify shelter locations in advance” and to “keep reserves of water, food, and medication.”
"The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv urges U.S. citizens to exercise due caution. As always, we recommend that you be prepared to seek immediate shelter in the event of an air raid alert":
