UK to reopen its embassy in Ukraine’s Kyiv

<p>
<strong>The British government has decided to re-open its embassy in Ukraine's capital city, Kyiv.</strong></p>
<p>
The embassy was forced to temporarily close due to the ongoing conflict with Russia. A contingent of British staff remained in western Ukraine to provide humanitarian and other support.<br />
<br />
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed that the embassy is set to re-open next week, dependent on the security situation<br />
<br />
"The extraordinary fortitude and success of President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people in resisting Russian forces, means we will shortly be re-opening our British Embassy in Kyiv," said UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.<br />
<br />
"I want to pay tribute to the bravery and resilience of the embassy team and their work throughout this period," she added.<br />
<br />
The British embassy premises are currently being made secure before staff return, starting with the UK Ambassador Melinda Simmons.<br />
<br />
The UK Foreign Ministry however said that it continues to advise "against all travel" to Ukraine.</p>
