The British Foreign Office announced the temporary relocation of the embassy in Ukraine to Lviv

“The British embassy in Kiev is temporarily moving.

Embassy employees work from the British Embassy in Lviv," TASS quoted the message as saying.

Earlier, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said that the UK had transferred part of the embassy staff from Kiev to Lviv, but retained its presence in the Ukrainian capital.

Prior to this, the British Foreign Office recommended that its citizens refrain from any trips to Ukraine and leave the territory of this country if they are already there.
