"Well, certainly that’s our objective is to open it [the embassy]. But what we are evaluating is, obviously, security considerations and when the State Department is prepared to do that," she said commenting the decision of Spain to resume the work of its diplomatic mission in Kiev, following Italy, France and a number of other European countries.
"Obviously, having a diplomatic presence on the ground is important," Psaki assured.
