NATO temporarily closes its office in the Ukrainian capital Kiev and transfers employees to Brussels and Lvov, the Norwegian edition of VG reported, citing a NATO representative, RIA Novosti reports.

NATO and its member states are monitoring the situation very closely, assessing it and taking all necessary precautions. The safety of our employees is a priority, which is why they are being transferred to Lviv and Brussels. Thus, NATO offices in Ukraine are still functioning, a NATO representative noted.

The UK, USA, Canada and Australia moved their embassies from Kyiv to Lviv. Norway has not yet done so, but is monitoring the situation.
