Russia-Ukraine war live: Italy, Spain and Greece follow US in closing embassies in Kyiv over threat of ‘significant attack’

Three nations join US after it receives ‘specific information’ of potentially significant air attack

In a television interview in France, foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot has dismissed Vladimir Putin’s approval of a new nuclear doctrine yesterday as rhetoric, and, Reuters reports, said “We are not intimidated.”
