US Embassy Tells Americans Be Prepared To 'Take Cover' As Kiev Braces For 'Shock & Awe' Attack

The US Embassy in Kyiv has issued a heightened security alert due to the continued risk of significant air attacks on Ukraine by Russia. This comes after a massive cross-border Ukrainian operation that destroyed many of Russia's premier military aircraft, including long-range strategic bombers. President Trump held a phone call with President Putin, discussing the attack and other attacks by both sides, but did not demand that Putin not retaliate against Ukraine. The absence of a preemptive condemnation suggests that major aerial retaliation is imminent, and Washington understands the tit-for-tat nature of what is likely to happen. The US Embassy urges American citizens to identify shelter locations, download air alert apps, and take shelter immediately if an air alert is announced. Geopolitical observers believe that major aerial retaliation is imminent, and the US Embassy's warning suggests that "shock and awe" on Kiev could happen at any moment. Russian officials, including President Putin and Medvedev, have warned of significant retaliation, with Putin stating that those who must be eliminated will be. A mysterious Russian "Doomsday Radio" has also broadcast codewords, sparking concerns about the situation.
