Ukraine: Denmark Shuts Down Embassy In Kiev
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the closure of its mission in Kiev on Thursday due to security concerns amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine.
“The embassy in Kiev is temporarily closed for security reasons. There are reports of explosions and rocket attacks in northern, eastern and southern Ukraine.
“The airspace is closed,” the ministry said in a statement.
Russian President, Vladimir Putin, had on Thursday morning declared a ‘special military operation’ against Ukraine.
The special military operation, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, was not directed at Ukrainian cities, but rather towards demilitarizing Ukraine.
According to Putin, the self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk republics asked Russian assistance to resist Ukraine’s military aggression in the eastern Donbas region, which has recently escalated.
