The United States voiced hopes on Monday that its diplomats will be back in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv "by the end of the month," Chargé d'Affairs Kristina Kvien said after Washington closed its embassy days before the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
"We very much hope that conditions will allow us to return to Kyiv by the end of the month," Kvien said during a press conference in the eastern city of Lviv.
