Russia warns foreigners to leave Kyiv, vows more strikes

Russia's Foreign Ministry has issued a stark warning to foreigners and diplomats in Kyiv, urging them to evacuate the Ukrainian capital as soon as possible. The ministry also advised Kyiv residents to avoid military and administrative infrastructure targets. This directive comes as Moscow prepares to launch further retaliatory strikes against Ukraine.

These planned raids are a direct response to a Ukrainian drone attack last week on a student dormitory in the Russian-controlled Luhansk region. Russian authorities reported that the attack resulted in 21 deaths and over 40 injuries among young residents aged 14 to 18. In a statement posted on Telegram, the ministry condemned the attack as further proof of the "Nazi and terrorist nature of the Kyiv regime."

The junta of Zelensky and its Western sponsors, who provide the Ukrainian armed forces with the tools to commit crimes against our people, have shown the whole world their grave disregard for the norms of international humanitarian law.

The Russian diplomatic service declared that "the junta of Zelensky and its Western sponsors... have shown the whole world their grave disregard for the norms of international humanitarian law." The statement added that "all this has made the cup of patience overflow." Moscow vowed to continue "systematic attacks against enterprises of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex in Kyiv, including specific locations for the design, production, programming, and use of drones." The ministry also warned that attacks would target decision-making centers and command posts, noting these are scattered throughout Kyiv.
