Would a US Embassy or other installation in Ukraine be considered part of NATO?

[wcmagumba]

Just wondering about this with the reopening of the US Embassy in Ukraine. If it is hit during a Russian attack what would be the possible consequenses?

1. Isn't a US Embassy abroad considered "US soil"??

Just my two cents

2. My thought exactly...

3. Embassy

No, first and foremost, an Embassy is the inviolable territory of the represented Nation.

4. They would say it wasn't directly targeted (whether true or not).

The attack was a mistake. Our examination explains how a series of errors and omissions led to that mistake. Let me emphasize: no one targeted the Chinese Embassy. No one, at any stage in the process, realized that our bombs were aimed at the Chinese Embassy.

It is entirely appropriate that we provide you with an explanation of how this awful tragedy occurred. The U.S. Government recognizes our responsibility to provide a full explanation. We have undertaken our own internal investigation into this matter and want to share our results with you.

It would be remarkable if the United States were to claim bombing an embassy should be cause for a declaration of war. The U.N. Charter uses the phase, "territorial integrity or political independence of any state" when describing military action, I don't believe an attack on an embassy would fit that definition.

5. There aren't technicalities here...

It would be whatever we said it was.

6. No. Under international law, an embassy remains the territory of the host nation.
