Psaki said the White House would continue to assess the situation, and underscored the Biden administration's objective to reopen the US Embassy and have US diplomats on site.

Charge d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Ukraine Kristina Kvien told the press on Monday that the US government hopes to reopen the embassy in Kiyv by the end of May if the conditions are appropriate.

Some Western countries have reopened their embassies in Kiyv after the military conflict was relocated to the east and south of Ukraine.
