• According to reports, a protest is slated to take place outside the US Embassy, located at Aviakonstructor Igor Sikorsky Street 4 in Kyiv at 11:00 (local time) on August 30. 
• The demonstration is organized by journalists of multiple TV channels to protest President Volodymyr Zelensky’s decision to ban their content.
  
  

1. Based on the mobilization capabilities of the groups involved, the protest is likely to draw a turnout ranging in the high hundreds. A bolstered security presence can be anticipated in the vicinity of the US Embassy.  
2. Given precedent and heightened sentiments over Zelensky’s decision, the slated demonstration carries a heightened potential for unrest in the form of clashes between protesters and police. In the event of escalating unrest, police are liable to use forcible dispersal methods, including tear gas, water cannons, and conducting mass arrests to disperse the crowds.
3. Disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic can be anticipated in the vicinity of the US Embassy from the morning hours, with several roads likely to be closed and traffic diverted.

Those operating or residing in Kyiv on August 30 are advised to maintain vigilance in the vicinity of the US Embassy due to the potential for unrest at the slated protest.
