US Embassy in Kyiv Warns of ‘Significant Air Attack,’ Trump Refuses to Condemn Russia
The US embassy in Kyiv issued a warning on May 9 to all US citizens in Ukraine that an attack by Russia is imminent.
The statement read: “The US Embassy in Kyiv has received information concerning a potentially significant air attack that may occur at any time over the next several days. The Embassy, as always, recommends US citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced.”
At an Oval Office press conference, US President Donald Trump was questioned about the US embassy alert. A reporter asked: “The US embassy in Kyiv right now is warning about a possible Russian significant attack on Kyiv. What’s your message for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin?”
Trump responded: “I have a message for both parties. Get this war ended. We’re losing 5,000 soldiers a week – Russian and Ukrainian soldiers. Other people also, by the way. And I say get this stupid war finished. That’s my message for both of them.”
