The decision to suspend work due to the threat of massive Russian air attacks was made by the diplomatic missions of the United States and a number of other Western countries.
Ambassador Piotr Lukasiewicz emphasized that Polish diplomats will not stop working and will continue to operate in the current war regime.
“We have our own security systems, our own security information in Kyiv and in Ukraine, we also use information from allies. We are not interrupting work, we are working. There is no intention to close the embassy. We rely a lot on Ukrainian air defense and believe in it, it has proven many times its effectiveness in repelling attacks on civilian objects,” Piotr Lukasevich justified.

Context
In addition to the US embassy in Kyiv, the decision to suspend work was made by the diplomatic missions of Italy, Greece and Spain. This is due to the high probability of a massive strike on Kyiv by Russian long-range missiles and drones. Diplomats recommend citizens of their countries living in Kyiv and other places to refrain from traveling and stay near shelters.
